The proper way to manage noise at the airport is with noise regs. Instead, we have this weird situation where jets are banned (regardless of size) and all props are allowed (regardless of size). I've been in the back of a CC130 shooting an approach around the CN Tower with the back ramp open. Thanks to dumb regs, this is allowed.
Want to control noise at the airport? Regulate noise. Not engine type.
This is especially relevant as technology improves and high bypass turbofans emit lower noise than turboprops.
