NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

93.51 Applicability This subpart prescribes - 1) special rules for aerodrome traffic operating in the control zone designated under Part 71 for Auckland International Airport; and 2) noise abatement procedures for aeroplanes operating in the vicinity of Auckland International Airport for the purpose of landing at or taking off from Auckland International Airport. 93.53 General Rules - Auckland control zone Each pilot-in-command of a powered aircraft with an airworthiness certificate operating under VFR in the control zone shall be the holder of a current pilot license. 95.55 Aerodrome traffic circuit-Auckland International Airport Notwithstanding 91.223, each pilot-in-command of an aircraft shall conduct a right-hand aerodrome traffic circuit when approaching for a landing or after take-off from runway 05, unless - (1) otherwise authorized by ATC; or (2) a turn in the opposite direction for an IFR procedure has been prescribed under Part 97. (Until Part 97 comes into force, IFR procedures are prescribed under Part 19) 93.57 Restrictions on flight training No pilot-in-command shall conduct flight instruction in the aerodrome traffic circuit unless the aircraft is - (1) operated by the holder of - (i) an air operator certificate issued under Part 119; or (ii) a foreign air operator certificate issued under Part 129; or (2) operated by the New Zealand Defence Force; or (3) engaged in IFR training or practice for the issue or extension of an instrument rating; or (4) a multi-engined aircraft. 93.59 Departure noise abatement procedures (a) Each pilot-in-command of a turbo-jet or turbo-fan powered aeroplane shall - (1) on departure from runway 23, comply with - (i) the ICAO noise abatement take-off climb - Procedure A or B, defined in ICAO Doc. 8168-OPS-611, Vol. 1, Part V, Chapter 3; or (ii) the noise abatement departure profile - Procedure C or D, as defined in Appendix D; and (2) on departure from runway 05, comply with - (i) the ICAO noise abatement take-off climb - Procedure B defined in ICAO Doc. 8168-OPS-611, Vol. 1, Part V, Chapter 3; or (ii) the noise abatement departure profile - Procedure C or D, as defined in Appendix D; and (b) Each pilot-in-command of a turbo-jet or turbo-fan powered aeroplane on departure from runway 05 shall climb on the extended runway centerline to - (1) at least 3000ft QNH prior to turning left; or (2) at least 2000ft QNH prior to turning right; or (3) at least 500ft QNH and turn right at a position abeam McLaughlins Mountain (cone shaped hill with water tower and aeronautical ground light occulting red 2.0 sec, 250ft AMSL) at an angle of bank not less than 15 degrees and to change direction not less than 90 degrees.

COMMENTS

This airport is located in a country which has a Stage 2 phase-out. In addition this country has regulations on aircraft sonic boom: Part 91 Subpart J - Operating Noise Limits 98.801 Applicability This Subpart prescribes operating noise limits that apply to the operation of civil aircraft in New Zealand. 91.803 Noise Level Compliance No person shall operate a subsonic turbo-jet of more than 34,004 kg MCTOW to or from any aerodrome within New Zealand after 31 March 2002 unless that aircraft has been - (1) certificated under Part 36 to Stage 3 noise levels prescribed in that Part; or (2) certificated by another State to the equivalent specificationfor Stage 3 noise levels that is acceptable to the Director. Part 91 91.805 Aircraft Sonic Boom (a) No person shall operate an aircraft at Mach number greater than 1 a unless approved by the Director and in compliance with any conditions limitations specified in the approval. (b) No person shall operate an aircraft for which the maximum operating speed exceeds a Mach number of 1, unless information available to the pilot in command includes flight limitations that ensure that flights entering or leaving New Zealand will not cause a sonic boom to reach the surface within New Zealand.
