Keywords: steep approach, curved approach, noise abatement procedures

To test different types of noise abating approach procedures the Institute of Flight Guidance performed flight tests with a Boeing 737-700. In total 13 approaches were flown while the approach area of the airport was equipped with six noise measurement microphones. The paper will present the results of these trials.
