AIRPORT CURFEWS
Ref. Aeronautical Information Publication – CAA Denmark

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS - NONE

OPERATING QUOTA - NONE

SCHOOL FLIGHT
School flight can only be allowed with permission from the Airport authorities.
An operation counts for one take-off or landing. A "touch and go" counts for two operations, even though the plane does not touch the runway.

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS
12. Engine tests with a bigger power than idle running must not take place from 1800-0600 local time. Between 1800-2300 local time, engine tests exceeding idle running are allowed within the range of what is necessary to ensure punctual unrolling of scheduled flights.

The regulation includes running of all aircraft engines with the exception of APU. Piston engines, turbo propeller engines and jet engines are comprised by the regulation. Engine runnings carried out prior to a scheduled departure and being part of the take-off procedure in question are not comprised by the regulation.

13. Engine tests on the big aircraft types have to take place on the position required from the Airport or in the permanent test field.

14. Arrangements must be made to keep the noise exposure caused by engine tests, in residential areas from exceeding the values stated in the following table: The noise level is stated as the equivalent, adjusted noise value measured in dB(A)
Time
Noise Limit
   
Day from 0600-1800
47 dB(A)
Evening from 1800-2300
40 dB(A)
Night from 2300-0600
35 dB(A)
Engine test runs on Heavy aircraft are to take place at the east end of Taxiway K.

- An operation counts for one take-off or landing. A "touch and go" counts for two operations, even though the plane does not touch the runway.

- Engine test means the start-up and running of the engines in order to test the engines or the aircraft's systems.

- Big planes are defined as planes with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of more than 5700 kiloes.

Before the test field is established, the airport has to prepare a statement describing how the noise limits mentioned above are to be maintained. Any shieldings made have to be in accordance with the plan approved by the Traffic Department in order to secure in-flight. The statement including documentation of calculations is to be sent to Ribe county before the first of January 2001.

9. Taxiing of aircraft with a MTOM of more than 5700 kiloes is not allowed, except in connection with take-off and landing procedures. All plane movements not part of taking off and landing, are to be undertaken by means of towage, provided that the plane in question is certified for this.

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS
10. The use APU should in general be limited as much as possible.

Normally, APU must be used; 5 minutes after "On Block" and 5 minutes before estimated time of departure (ETD)

In cases where the outdoor temperature drops below -10C or reaches above +25C, the use of APU is allowed as follows unless otherwise instricted by Marshall, 5 minutes after "On Block" and 15 minutes before estimated time of departure (ETD).

NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM
The establishment of at least 1 permanent measuring stations and 1 mobile measuring station in the environment is necessary to check that the maximum value of noise from aircraft at night does not exceed the fixed demands of the noise value.

FLIGHT TRACK MONITORING SYSTEM  - NONE

NOISE LEVEL LIMITS

Noise

Noise from aircraft during take-off and landing.

The noise exposrue (Lden) from take-offs and landings (including taxxing and the use of APU in thei connection), must with a tolerance of 1 dB not exceed the noise exposure stated in the table below;

Period of Time Noise Exposure
Up to and including year 2000
1996 with environmental adaption, annex 17
From 2001

2010 for maximum prognosis with right turn, Annex 18
The check value for the different periods of time is according to the TDENL method as follows:

144.1
The maximum value of noise from flights at night.

Take-offs with jet planes, which are noise certified according to ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 2 must after the first of April 1999 not take place between 2300-0600 (local time), with the exception of delayed flights with scheduled time departure at between 0600-2300.

Any exceedings of the stated level caused by safety precautions, vital flights or meteorological conditions which have influence on the sound diffusion will not be regarded as a violation of the term.

The maximum A-weighted sound pressure level (Lamax) from take-offs and landings must not exceed 80 dB(A) between 2300-0600 (local time), as shown in the 80 dB curve in Appendix 1 with the exception of delayed flights or aircraft arriving before time but scheduled for departure or arrival between 0600-2300.

Any exceedings of the stated level caused by safety precautions, vital flights or meteorological conditions which have influence on the sound diffusion will not be regarded as a violation of the term.

From the first of January 2000, the maximum A-weighted sound pressure level (Lamax) during take-offs and landings between 2300-0600 (local time) must not exceed 80 dB(A) in the residential areas within the town limit - with the exception of the areas in the northern part of Billund, but delayed flights or aircraft arriving before time with scheduled time of departure or arrival between 0600-2300 are excepted from this rule.

Any exceedings of the stated level caused by safety precautions, vital flights or meteorological conditions which have influence on the sound diffusion will not be regarded as a violation of the term.

The airport must carry out an examination of how to reduce the A-weighted sound] pressure level (Lamax) in order to meet the demand.

ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Annex 16, Vol. I, Chapter 2 and 3 concerning noise certification of subsonic jet planes.


After the first of July 2007, the maximum A-weighted sound pressure level (Lamax) from take-offs and landings between 2300-0600 (local time) must not exceed 80 dB(A) according to the 80 dB curve shown in Appendix 1, with the exception of the areas in the northern part of Billund, but delayed flights or aircraft arriving before time with scheduled time of departure or arrival between 0600-2300 are excepted from this rule.

Any exceedings of the stated level caused by safety precautions, vital flights or meteorological conditions which have influence on the sound diffusion will not be regarded as a violation of the term.
Noise from aircraft during take-off and landing
On the first of April 2007, the airport has to send in noise calculations measured by the TDENL method for year 2006, as well as the future noise exposure.

The calculations have to be done as described in the National Agency of Environmental Protection guide No. 5/1994: "Noise from Airports". The calculation has to be done by a laboratory approved by the National Agency of Environmental Protection to carry out "environmental measurement - external noise".

Hereafter, this calculation should be repeated every seventh year.

The calculations have to cover one calendar year and must be done on the basis of number of operations during the 3 months when the noise exposure is at its worst.

The calculations of the annual values as well as the monthly are to be sent to the supervising authority no later than the first of February each year.

Each calculation has to include the number of operations dispersed on the type of aircraft, time of day/week and lane distribution.

The establishment of at least 1 permanent measuring stations and 1 mobile measuring station in the environment is necessary to check that the maximum value of noise from aircraft at night does not exceed the fixed demands of the noise value.

The number of take-offs with Chapter 2 aircraft or similar noisy aircraft type (MD80) between 2300-0600 as well as the reason for the take-off should be registered in a journal.

CHAPTER 2 RESTRICTIONS
Chapter 2 airplanes >75,000 lbs are banned from operating at airports in EU Member States as of April 1, 2002.

CHAPTER 2 PHASEOUT
From April 1, 2002 all civil subsonic jet aeroplanes >75,000 lbs operating at airports in EU Member States must comply with the standards specified in Part II, Chapter 3, Volume 1 of Annex 16 in accordance with EU Council Directive 92/14/EEC.

CHAPTER 3 RESTRICTIONS - NONE

COMMENTS
