NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES - NONE

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA) - NO
The airport does not have a published procedure for CDA approaches. The main reason is because of the structure of the airspace in the Belfast TMA.

NATS defines a CDA approach as an approach which allows aircraft to descend from an altitude of 6000’ with either no level flight or with one phase of level flight not greater than 2.5 miles.

The operations at Belfast City airport preclude descent below 4000’ being allocated until aircraft have passed the City area. This would create obvious difficulties for publishing CDA approaches to 25.

Similarly, whenever using 07, City will normally be using 04, creating difficulties in devising CDA approaches.

will not be permitted on Sundays or after 2300 hours on all other days.
