Narrative:

The day after the evening of practice touch-and-goes I noticed a faded noise abatement sign. The turns were to be outside the freeway. These signs need to be of standard issue so they are more recognizable and flight service should give particulars to an airport. At present, every airport is different and to be a good neighbor is difficult.

Title: REPORTER NOTES THE NOISE ABATEMENT SIGN AT THE WVI ARPT IS FADED.

Narrative: THE DAY AFTER THE EVENING OF PRACTICE TOUCH-AND-GOES I NOTICED A FADED NOISE ABATEMENT SIGN. THE TURNS WERE TO BE OUTSIDE THE FREEWAY. THESE SIGNS NEED TO BE OF STANDARD ISSUE SO THEY ARE MORE RECOGNIZABLE AND FLT SERVICE SHOULD GIVE PARTICULARS TO AN ARPT. AT PRESENT, EVERY ARPT IS DIFFERENT AND TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR IS DIFFICULT.
