You guys changed your landing procedure(ie. thrust settings, etc) for lower noise approach noise numbers. What is it that you did? It's just a curiosity.

No difference to our approach procedures. However we now only use idle reverse after landing unless landing distance or conditions are limiting. Saves on noise and engine wear, just change the brakes a little more often. Carbon Fibre brakes so no problem with overheating.
