The airport has nighttime restrictions based on the quota count
system. Any aircraft that has a quota count of 8 or more may not:
- Schedule take-off or landing between 0000-0600 local time
If a take off was scheduled prior to 0000 local time but was
delayed for reasons beyond the control of the aircraft operator,
the operator must receive permission from the airport authority
to take-off.
Aircraft must provide sufficient information to the airport authority
to verify the aircraft noise category before it will give permission
for the aircraft to operate during the nighttime hours. The information
provided must include:
- aircraft type
- engine type
- operating weight
- maximum landing or take-off weight as appropriate
- flight number
- aircraft registration marks
- destination and airport or origin
- type of flight
- reason of requirement
- in cases of emergency - why the movement was considered necessary
An aircraft may not take-off or be scheduled to land if the operator
has not provided (prior to its take-off or prior to its scheduled
landing time as appropriate) sufficient information to enable
the airport to verify its noise classification and thereby the
quota count or the operator claim that the aircraft is an exempt
aircraft.

To determine the Noise Classification:
For Chapter 3 Aircraft -
Take-off - the sum of the take-off and sideline noise levels divided
by 2
Landing - the approach noise level minus 9
For Chapter 2 Aircraft -
Take-off - the sum of the take-off and sideline noise levels divided
by 2 plus 1.75 EPNdB
Landing - the approach noise level minus 9
The certified noise levels for an aircraft must be supplied to
the Civil Aviation Affairs.
