## UAM.OP.VCA.130 Noise-abatement procedures

(a) When developing operating procedures, the IAM operator shall take into account the need to minimise the effect of noise and any published noise-abatement procedures.

(b) The IAM operator’s procedures shall:

(1) ensure that safety has priority over noise abatement; and

(2) be simple and safe to implement by not significantly increasing flight crew workload during [critical phases of flight](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/critical-phases-of-flight).
