Question

With reference to noise pollution, answer the following:

Why is there more noise pollution during landing as compared to during take-off?

Answer 1

There is more noise pollution during landing compared to take-off because, during landing, the aircraft is closer to the ground and uses reverse thrust to slow down, creating louder sounds. Additionally, flaps and landing gears are deployed, generating more noise. On the other hand, during take-off, the aircraft is at higher altitudes, and the noise is spread over a larger area.
