According to CAT.OP.MPA.130, what are the two mandatory characteristics that noise abatement procedures must have?

The procedures must ensure that safety has priority over noise abatement, and they must be simple and safe to operate with no significant increase in crew workload during critical phases of flight.

Are noise abatement procedures required for VFR operations of other-than complex motor-powered aeroplanes?

No, CAT.OP.MPA.130 explicitly exempts VFR operations of other-than complex motor-powered aeroplanes from the requirement to establish noise abatement procedures.

In the context of noise abatement procedures, what priority must be given to safety, and what must be avoided regarding crew workload?

Safety must have priority over noise abatement, and the procedures must not cause a significant increase in crew workload during critical phases of flight.

Q: What must an operator establish for each aeroplane type to minimise the effect of aircraft noise, and which operations are exempt from this requirement?

The operator must establish appropriate operating departure and arrival/approach procedures for each aeroplane type, taking into account the need to minimise the effect of aircraft noise. This requirement does not apply to VFR operations of other-than complex motor-powered aeroplanes.

Q: What specific types of procedures must an operator establish under CAT.OP.MPA.130, and for which aircraft types?

The operator must establish appropriate operating departure and arrival/approach procedures for each aeroplane type.
