[NSRCA-discussion] Noise - Overfly - and Different AerobaticModel Types

[Dean Pappas]

Yes, Jay ...
But that [Dean Pappas] pre-emptive noise rule would have effectively
eliminated almost all gassers.
That's only part of the bigger problem. I'm not interested in
excommunicating my friends either.

Of course the local clubs are partly to blame in that they don't
establish and ENFORCE noise rules.

Hi Dave,
What I hope we are saying here, is that being smart and making our
aerobatic planes quiet is good for the continued survival of both
events. Of course, if flyers with large, loud, and far-away 40% planes
lose all our practice fields and practice sites ...
 
This is just how the West Windsor contest in Jersey became a "first
annual and only ever" event.
Sadly, I have to say that two or three IMACers joined the club, and
within a few months, we had no Pattern Contest, a 6:00 P.M. weekday
curfew on wet power, and neighbors who are now very aware of our
existence. Being noticed ain't always a good thing! Smart noise
abatement programs are aimed at preventing that first complaint. Once it
happens, it's almost too late.
 
To this end, I dearly would like to see the FAI  consider a schedule
change(s) on an emergency basis, to change the existing rolling circles
into rolling-looping figures of some sort. Rolling circles are
beautiful, but potential flying site killers. The meaningful noise rules
and Turnaround, both dating back to the visionary changes in the early
eighties, were necessary to save the event from not being viable
World-wide. Further efforts along this line are necessary to ensure the
continued viability of the event: in populated areas, at least.
 
later friends,
Dean Pappas
