NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Verify information below with AIP Switzerland or AIP France AD2 LFSB-INI 1a 1. General 1.1 The following procedures are designed to avoid excessive aircraft noise in and around the Bale Mulhouse airport. 1.2 They are applicable to landing and takeoff for any aircraft flying in IFR. 1.3 These procedures are mandatory and Captains cannot ignore them unless if required by the safety of their aircraft. 1.4 Aircraft owners or operators not able to apply these prescriptions shall submit those they intend to adopt to the airport management for approval. 1.5 Hereafter, the word night includes the period 2000-0400 and day the period 0400-2000 (WIN + 1hr) 1.6 Noise measuring stations are located near thresholds of runway 15, 24 08, 26 and in the vicinity. 2. Departure Procedures 2.1 Aircraft shall adopt the climbing configuration and rating corresponding to noise abatement conditions of the moment. 2.2 The initial climb path shall be followed depending on the operational standards specific to each aircraft, in order to reach 5000ft AMSL as soon as possible. 2.3 At night, it is recommended to use RWY 33, except when not allowed by operational conditions. 2.4 At day, it is recommended for certain types of aircraft as noisy by the airport management. 2.5 The use of RWY 26 is recommended for takeoffs depending on the operational standards specific to each aircraft and the operational conditions of the moment. Unless otherwise specified by ATC services, RWY 15 (1820 m) is the preferential runway for 'LUMEL', 'ELBEG', 'STR', and 'GTQ' SID takeoffs. 2.6 For aircraft categories A, B, C and D, paths are protected. 2.7 RWY 15 Departures - The minimum climb gradient is set to 5% - The HOC 2D departure can be used only during the period 0600-2000 (WIN + 1hr) on request from the Captain after checking that the aircraft belongs to the authorized aircraft. The authorized aircraft are: - Propeller aircraft with certificate of nuisance limitation (CLN) - Turbo jet aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight less than 70 T and certified to the standards of ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3, and whose over flying certification noise level is less than 89 EPNdB. 2.8 RWY 26 Departures The minimum climb gradient is set to 8.5% 3. Arrival Procedures 3.1 Approaches shall be performed along an angle greater than or equal to the angle of the descent path defined by the ILS (RWY 15) or by the visual approach slope indicator system, VASES (RWY 33). 3.2 The descent path shall be selected so as to maintain clean configuration as long as possible with regard to safety and requirements of the air traffic control services. 3.3 Speed-down and trail out are performed to that the aircraft has the configuration and landing speed at the latest at 4 NM from the runway threshold. 3.4 Between 2000 and 0400 (WIN + 1hr) on landing on RWY 15, thrust reversers and pitch reversers may be set to a position exceeding the reverse idle power only when required for safety reasons.

CHAPTER 2 RESTRICTIONS

Chapter 2 airplanes are ban from operating at airports in Switzerland as of April 1, 2002.

CHAPTER 2 PHASEOUT

From April 1, 2002 all civil subsonic jet aeroplanes operating at airports in Switzerland must comply with Chapter 3 standards. See information below:

The Swiss Federal Rule for Chapter 2 Phase out

The Swiss Federal Council has decreed oChapter 2 airplanes >75,000 lbs are ban from operating at airports in EU Member States as of April 1, 2002.n 23rd February 1994 an Ordinance on noise related operating restrictions for jet aircraft (SR 748,121,12) For information and convenience of english speaking readers, the contents of this Ordinance is translated as follows: Article 1 Principle Subsonic jet aircraft which are not certificated according to the standards of Chapter 3 (of ICAO Annex 16) may not operate at Swiss airports after 1 April 1995, except for those defined in Article 2 and 3 hereafter.
