Touchdown! Greaser!
Anyone have experience flying GA out of John Wayne (SNA)?
I may be flying in to pick up a pax this week and would like to avoid getting a noise abatement bust. I've read the stuff on the airport website that refers to the left or right 15 degree turns (depending on runway) and the map of noise sensitive areas, but other than that, I didn't see much. I have heard that there is a noise sensor right off the departure end of 19 L/R that usually gets folks. I'll be flying a Duchess, so compared to the jets, you wouldn't think that would be too loud, but we have had guys in the club who have gotten 172s banned from flying in there.
Any suggestions - is it better to go with a high performance climb like the jets do (basically pitching as high as I can go while maintaining blue line), or pull the rpm back to 2600 (climb power in the BE-76) as soon as I have positive rate?
