Noise rules push safety below noise limits in takeoffs
Delta pilot Captain Alex C. Bonner warned that strict U S airport noise abatement rules push safety toward the edge of the envelope. He said engines must be throttled less after takeoff to curb noise, while FAA official John H Shaffer emphasized testing each change. Shaffer highlighted jumbo jets like the Boeing 747 offering better service with lower noise, and noted newer planes will improve further.
