LGT ON INITIAL CLB RECEIVES TCASII ALERT AND TFC CALL FROM ATC WITH TFC SAME ALT. INCREASES CLB RATE BUT DECREASES AIRSPD BELOW BUG SPD.
ON THE DEP IN SNA; THE SID AND COMPANY NOISE ABATEMENT PROC; FOR SNA; DICTATED A CLB WITH MAX TKOF PWR TO 800 FT; THEN REDUCE TO CLB 2 PWR (20% BELOW NORMAL CLB PWR). THEN AT 1 MI; TURN L TO A HDG OF 175. THESE 2 EVENTS HAPPENED AT APPROX THE SAME TIME. DURING THIS DEP WITH PWR BEING REDUCED; IN A L TURN; AND LOWERING PITCH TO REDUCE CLB; TCASII SUDDENLY GAVE AN ORAL ALERT. LOOKING AT THE TCASII; I SAW THAT WE WERE APCHING THE ALT OF THE TFC. SNA DEP CTL THEN ADVISED US OF THE TFC; NOW BEING AT OUR ALT. I DECIDED TO INCREASE CLB RATE TO 500 FT ABOVE THE TFC; WITH A SLIGHT INCREASE IN PITCH. THIS ACTION KEPT ME AWAY FROM A TFC CONFLICT; ON THE SID; AND QUIET FOR A NOISE SENSITIVE ARPT. THE TFC WAS NEVER SEEN AND THERE WAS NO CONFLICT. BECAUSE OF THIS; AIRSPD DECREASED BELOW BUG SPD. AS I WAS RETURNING THE AIRSPD TO NORMAL; THE FO CALLED OUT THE AIRSPD DEV. THE REMAINDER OF THE FLT WAS NORMAL. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 210283: THE LGT IS A QUIET ACFT. THE NOISE ABATEMENT PROC SHOULD BE DROPPED FOR THIS ACFT.
