Nois abatment for business jets
Dear collegues:
What kind of noise abatment procedure are you using, with consideration to NADP 1 and 2 bearing in mind that the rate of climb achived with our businesses jets could be tremendous...
Yes I have searched within the forum and did not find specific answer...
Thank you for your kind answer

V2+10 or +20 depending upon what is written in the particular airports NAP.
& / OR - No greater body angle than 20 degrees pitch up
Either way its all over in a minute anyway

Petty much depends what your AFM Supplement says you should do!
Personally, I like 2Tbags caveat about "not more than 20* pitch up", because last time I tried to keep it at V2 +10, I got nervous at 37*NU, still accelerating, but the peeps in ATC were mighty impressed..............no, we didn't have pax (or much fuel), but it was as iaw the AFM recommended procedure!

I comply with the spirit of icao 8168 - I make all endeavours to minimise the noise footprint on take-off. I do that on landing too if at all possible. I do not use the prescribed noise abatement techniques because I have dismissed them on safety grounds. I've tried it once in the CJ2+ and it requires a nose up attitude of 40 degrees to keep V2+10 and the aircraft was climbing at 5000fpm. An engine failure with this body angle and lack of speed is difficult to handle and I think the whole procedure is pointless given how quiet the CJ is. At many airfields this departure is dangerous - at Farnborough for instance where we depart under very busy London airspace we would be likely to trigger TCAS RA's in aircraft above us. Also, we often depart into uncontrolled airspace and flying the NADP enormously increases pilot workload and reduces capacity for lookout. A secondary consideration after safety is my passengers comfort. I don't believe that they pay for a fairground ride and I don't want to clear up the puke.
In short, I've junked it on the grounds that it is dangerous for the type I most often fly and if anyone from the CAA would like to pay for a circuit I will demonstrate why. They won't like the initial climb and when I fail an engine at 600 feet with the nose pointing straight up I think will actually be able to get them to let out a little poo...
I keep finding badly thought out "global" rules and would like to know how to contribute to some of the decision making processes in aviation that make my life difficult. Not being able to fly two types until you've logged 500 hours and 2 OPC's under one AOC prevents experienced pilots helping out on less experienced fleets. The blanket JAR-OPS factoring for landing performance regularly forces pilots to carry less fuel than may actually be safe (but whoopy doo, its legal). have got loads of them....
hands up, who else completely ignores the NADP 1 and 2

I ignore them for similar reasons.
In Falcon 2000 I can't rotate fast enough to keep V2+10, I will have accelerted through it only to have to keep pitching up to get it back.
Then many deprtures under busy airspace only take you to 2000feet. So by the time i hit 'One to go' I need to get that VS below 1000fpm to avoid triggering the TCAS. The plane is pretty quiet so climb assertively but comfortably.
What is the priority? Last 1000ft at rapid climb for noise abatement or shallow climb for TCAS reasons?

It does seem wrong to talk about limiting speed and aoa in terms of reducing noise footprint. Surely a de-rated thrust take off is of more value in reducing engine noise. If you have to firewall the throttles in order to maintain your V2+10/20 then clearly you have an old/heavily loaded/underpowered jet that could do with new engines or hushkits

Thats nice bral 
is that chapter 3, chapter 4 or are we into an appendix ?
I wish they were all like that. I was looking at this subject recently and I'm not sure when this all started, but it seems that under EASA, aircraft have to be certified with and carry a noise certificate. I recall that the Germans were always very keen on this for all aircraft and now it seems we all (Europe) have to comply. I wonder how much longer the remaining european Chapter 2's have before hushkitting or an operating ban is forthcoming from our Euro masters.

NADP 2 and Doc 8168 (the base document) say it is between V2+10 to V2+20.
Most if not all operators under an AOC (that means with some kind of approved books on how the company wants you to operate their aircrafts) have a published Max body angle. Quite commonly found to be 20 degres (so far from light jets to heavies I have flown, I have found it to be 20 degres - PLI on the Boeing or just attitude indicator on others).
Therefore nobody is expected to pitch up at 37 degres in a commercial environment but everybody can fly NADP2 without finding himself in such attitude. So one should make all efforts to follow NADPs as they form full part of the EU OPS 1 which is law. But keep in mind that max body angle published somewhere as it is an aircraft limiting factor (kind of a Soft limitation, as opposed to a Hard one - such as a manufacturer, structural one).
As for noise and derated take off, this is an engine life preserving tool, not an anti noise procedure. Please I am not saying that in order to achieve approval at sensible airports, manufacturers will not bring in an early thrust reduction during climb. Not the same.
Also if many of you know about derated takeoff but many don't so if you don't may I suggest you don't do it just as you feel. There is a max amount of derate you can do, depending on a couple of factors. It is simply not just a case of not applying full thrust at take off...
Plus what creates most of the noise is not the engines (yes I know engines make noise) but the drag. During an approach (slight drift) an aircraft with all flaps and gear will generate a lot more noise that one who keeps to minimum clean as late a good airmanship dictates (check the criteria for a stablised approach).
Of course as you clean up (back to the departure part), less power is required so less noise is generated.
So if you want to be a good neighbour and a good operator, you derate (as per the company approved books) to save on the engine, you climb at V2+10-V2+20 up to 800' (or Max body angle), clean up+reduced to climb power or whatever is appropriate for that first stop altitude in your SID/clearance.
Nothing fancier than that as far as I am concerned. Works for a powerful light jet (aren't they all, these little rockets) as well as an empty 767-300 with no more than a few tonnes of fuel for a 20 mins ferry (just as amazing as bizjet).
But ! Beware of your aircraft performance, automatics limitations. A good brief helps keeping the fast pace.
Cheers all.

I can speak only for the falcons,
the falcons meet stage 3 or 4 limits ONLY when reducing N1 ( around 10 to 14 percent). A noise abatment is not a race to altitude, it is a way to reduce the noise, would it be close or distant. In any case it calls for a thrust reduction.
If you take the 7X out of LCY, the N1 reduction is quite impressive and it is done at 400ft....
ICAO is asking for a thrust reduction at 800ft, shouldn't it ring a bell ?
Nethertheless, our engines are making noise on take Off, and to reduce it, you need to reduce thrust. REad carefully, Jepp Book1 ATC pages 251 and on.
Jar Ops is even clearer asking for every operator to have noise abatment procedure and to use it every time for every airport.
The tendancy through airports is to design specifics procedures for their departures. The only advice is to read the pages 10-4.....

We ignore them as well. We don't like to climb with 6000'/min in Uk airspace (don't want to trigger tcas). Only when there is absolute no traffic and somewhere in the middle ofnowhere without pax, yes we do that.

I've got no maximum body angle in my part B and there is no procedure to de-rate take off power in the CJ (the FADEC requires the use of take of thrust because the software may go into the incorrect schedule otherwise). I don't fly the noise abatement procedure because its inappropriate and unsafe in the CJ.
Does anyone do it?

Inner, just to clarify, it is only the NADP and it stops at 3000' so what you do after that is just basic airmanship. 6000 fpm might be or might not be appropriate depending on the place and time but that's not part of the departure (read disclaimer above
). As an aside if you fly fast jets (privately, lucky you ) with no flaps, the minimium noise acceleration altitude is 400' so super performing jets are also covered and the neighbours are "legally" happy.CL300, you mean EU OPS
About the 400' I believe it is a figure which is used as a minimum for aircraft certification (but I can't remember if it is for the single engine acceleration altitude or for noise although I suspect it is the 1st one) so I guess this where Mr Dassault comes from. It is the minium safe covering all cases including the noise restrictions in place. I stand to be corrected of course and I apologise for the inacuracy.
Still, when noise abatment (reducing) procedures are in place, either through the manufacturer, EU OPS or local authorities, we should all aim to follow them. If it is not possible then I guess we should inform the relevant people so it can be amended. At no time though I am suggesting that good airmanship should be binned but in most cases, all this is perfectly compatible.
Never following NADP if you are an OAC holder is not an option (as explained by CL300) but there is always room for special cases (which might be always for you if you are based at a place with that kind of step climb restriction).

Well thank you all, sorry to take time now, I have been busy...
It seem that controversy is in the air!
I see a lot of existing regulations never followed by a hand full of professional pilots, and it always surprise me, why?
Because, when the rules where defined it brings a change in our habits and I think pilots should be flexible individuals and adapt to new things rather quickly.
It is always a lot of discussion on the subject and findings ways to explain that it is not possible to do it and etc. etc. however, if you react like this, you create your own rules and this is no way to serve aviation as professionals.
This particuliar set of NADP is not something optional and I personally comply with, not doing a ROC of 6000fpm as some said, you climb with max body angle 15-20° pitch and at 800 AGL set Climb power an clean up at 3000AGL, not so difficult...
Cheers

Some people and companies still do the 1500ft cut back ( when they do it).. so JAr-OPS vs EU-OPS should not bother them too much..
But I should have been more accurate, shame on me !!!

Fly one of the best-climbing BJs out there - and if you pitch to 17 deg. ANU after TO and use LVL CHG mode, there are no speed excursions (V2+20-25), no excessiove ROC (3000 fpm) and no complaints from the back.
1500 ft AAL (or whatever AA is), we wind the speed up, run the flaps in, set CLB and - hallelujah, we've flown NADP A without any fuss. And much less workload than when people want to retract the flaps at 400 ft and have to pull the thrust back because speed is getting away from them.
If we could stop focussing on V2+10 EXACTLY, then it suddenly becomes managable. Next time - with the usual disclaimers about auhorisation from CP/TM/FM etc etc - try rotating at your target rate till you reach an attitude where the speed stabilises. Note this attitude, and the speed attained - if you are more than V2+30 I'd be very surprised (or your AFM dictates a very slow rotation rate, less than 2 deg/sec).
Stating that certain BJs cannot safely fly an NADP might not exactly be true. Stating that certain pilots or companies have procedures that do not sit easily with flying an NADP is probably 100% true - and stating that certain individuals feel so strongly about the way they have always done things that they would resist a change, probably lies in between the aforementioned on the truth-index
Oh well, vive la difference

Empty Cruise, with respect mate.....you need to qualify your comments in respect of thrust settings, basic T/O config and types of airspace you operate into.
I'm currently flying the Falcon 900 Easy, as such there are no numbers to derate for takeoff..so its full thrust each and every time...which means unless we are operating above about 90% MTOM even V2 + 40 will give about 25 degrees nose up
Dassault in their typically arrogant way have designed an unbelievably complicated procedure for noise abatement that is just manageable for places like Charles De Gaulle or Heathrow...but complete crap for London City, Farnborough, or anywhere else where there is a low level departure.
We have have our own procedure...it works very well, and involves a thrust reduction at 400' AAL

Haughtney,
Like you, we have no way to de-rate (except doing an engine bleeds on T/O). I am familiar with Dassault not being the easiest for procedure design
, and appreciate that 1500 ft. might still be too high for thrust reduction on some aircraft.
Was unaware that the 900 had so much ooomph, but hey, live and learn. 25 deg. ANU is clearly not what you're looking for. However, there is some way from saying that yes, some aircraft are very high-powered, to saying that NADPs should just be disregarded (as some other posters suggested).
Main thing is, you have a way of dealing with it and roll back the thrust a bit earlier, we do 400 ft. as well out of TEB due to the 1500-ft. level-off. It was just the 37-deg. V2+10 -story that got my goat a bit. A happy modicum, where the punters are happy, the pilots comfortable and not overloaded and noise still implemented as an SOP - that'll have to do

It's seems to me that the problem here is largely down to the fact that very few bizjet's fly derated takeoffs.
I'm not surprised they are challenging at full power all the time. Crazy!
Does anyone derate as a matter of course? Which types?
