When are you permitted to disregard the Noise Abatement procedure?
My understanding (admittedly based on hearsay rather than known fact) is that if ATC alter your departure, ie early turn, maintain lower altitude, etc, that you are entitled to disregard the NA proc and accelerate at your discretion as you are no longer on the SID on which it's designed for. :confused:
Also, on a Go Around do you have to follow Noise Abatement proc or can you accelerate once you're above MFRA?? Previous company (B777) used a standard 1000ft A.A.L. for a Missed Approach acceleration (no limiting factors) but present company (A321) uses the full NA proc again. I'm wondering if this is just cos they don't want us messing around in the MCDU?
