The recording was quite loud but not as loud as some of the piston powered aircraft this afternoon (the Hawker Tomtit for example). I usually record with about 20db of headroom and had plenty to spare.

Powerplant: 1× Rolls-Royce Adour Mk.951 turbofan with FADEC, 29 kN (6,500 lbf) 29 kN

Recorded using Rode NT 5 -> Fostex FR2-LE

The photo isn’t mine but the aircraft I recorded I think is the same.
