Erie Municipal Airport
General Aviation Voluntary
Noise Abatement Procedures
There are multiple residential communities within close proximity to the Erie Municipal Airport. In order to
minimize the noise impact on these communities the Erie Municipal Airport has developed Voluntary Noise Abatement Procedures and requests that locally based aircraft and visitor aircraft comply with the outlined procedures below.
Per the Federal Aviation Administration Regulations it is the sole responsibility of the Pilot-In-Command to operate their aircraft within the aircrafts performance limitations while complying with all FAA regulations as they relate to any particular operation. Safe aircraft operation is always the number one priority, pilots should not compromise safety or violate FAA regulations in an attempt to comply with these local Voluntary Noise Abatement Procedures.
These voluntary procedures should be utilized to the fullest extent possible unless prevented by:
General Considerations
Many noise issues generated by aircraft activity that occur beyond the airport influence area can be avoided by practicing common sense and courtesy.
RECOMMENDED EAST DEPARTURES FROM THE ERIE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
Recommended Departures from Runway 16/34 (See Recommended Departure map)
Please note – When acting as Pilot-in Command of an aircraft, you are responsible for safety and safe operation of your aircraft.

Noise Abatement Procedures
There are multiple residential communities within close proximity to the Erie Municipal Airport. In order to
minimize the noise impact on these communities the Erie Municipal Airport has developed Voluntary Noise Abatement Procedures and requests that locally based aircraft and visitor aircraft comply with the outlined procedures below.
Per the Federal Aviation Administration Regulations it is the sole responsibility of the Pilot-In-Command to operate their aircraft within the aircrafts performance limitations while complying with all FAA regulations as they relate to any particular operation. Safe aircraft operation is always the number one priority, pilots should not compromise safety or violate FAA regulations in an attempt to comply with these local Voluntary Noise Abatement Procedures.
These voluntary procedures should be utilized to the fullest extent possible unless prevented by:
- Maintaining required distance from clouds or other weather conditions
- Operating limitations of the piloted aircraft
- ATC instructions
- Other aircraft in the pattern
- Any safety factor
- Runway 34 is the preferred runway when the wind and weather conditions permit
- When weather conditions, aircraft performance and traffic pattern activity permit, fly crosswind and downwind legs over open space located north and west of airport
- On takeoff, reduce power as soon as practical after reaching a safe altitude
- Climb at Best Rate (Vy) or Best Angle (Vx) or a combination thereof until at least 700 feet AGL
- Increase propeller RPM for landing after final approach power setting has been set
- Avoid touch and go landings before 8am or after 5pm
- Avoid intersection departures
- High Performance Aircraft – most aircraft noise is generated from the propeller tip speed. Some high performance aircraft tips approach supersonic on takeoff power. A small reduction of propeller RPM after takeoff can result in a significant reduction of noise levels.
- Traffic Pattern Altitudes –
- 1000 feet AGL (6,100 MSL) – Piston Aircraft
- 1500 feet AGL (6600 MSL) – Turboprop/Jet Aircraft
- Runway 16 – Touch and Go and Stop and Go training is discouraged due to rising terrain and Noise sensitive neighborhood located south of the airport. Recommend full stop taxi back for multiple practice landings on 16 especially for lower performance flight training aircraft.
General Considerations
Many noise issues generated by aircraft activity that occur beyond the airport influence area can be avoided by practicing common sense and courtesy.
- Avoid flying in continuous circles over neighborhoods
- Fly at least 1000 feet AGL over populated areas
- Avoid pattern work after 8pm
- Limit airport operations after 8pm
- Avoid any low level flying over ranch or farm land
RECOMMENDED EAST DEPARTURES FROM THE ERIE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
Recommended Departures from Runway 16/34 (See Recommended Departure map)
- Climb to traffic pattern altitude or higher in the standard traffic pattern to mid-field
- Overfly the airport at mid-field to the east and proceed on course east of the airport
Please note – When acting as Pilot-in Command of an aircraft, you are responsible for safety and safe operation of your aircraft.
