As part of my work with the PFA and CAA I am investigating the question of
noise standards and the objective measurement of noise.
I noticed how quiet the Europa was during the flypast at the PFA rally. Do
you have any independent noise measurements, such as those required by the
German authorities for the grant of a noise certificate? I believe these
tests involve a flight overhead at maximum power and weight and no doubt
other measurements. If the Europa has been tested against this standard I
would be interested to know the results as the aircraft clearly shows what
can be achieved.
