NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

A bill was approved by the French Parliament in 1999 that set up an independent group called the "Autorité de Contrôle des Nuisances Sonores Aéroportuaires" to monitor noise levels at French airports and impose fines of up to EUR 20000 since April 2005 and EUR 1500 on pilots that disregard noise abatement procedures on take-off, landing or engine run-ups. The new law also restricts helicopter operations over populated areas.

Aircraft of all types: respect of the environment.

Flight over the Bordeaux built up area is to be avoided.

At night, between 2000 and 0400 (winter +1 hour), the use of RWY 23 is compulsory unless the runway condition renders its use impossible.

For RYWs 23 and 29, ILS finals will be systematic, except if ILS is unusable.

For taking-off on all RWYs, SID routes have to be strictly followed, except for safety constraint. They can be altered only above 5000 ft and by ATC instruction.

Jet aircraft:
For all jet aircraft, maintain the speed V2 + 10 kt, or that which allows aircraft attitude, depending on the type of aircraft, up to 3000 ft AAL with flaps set in the take off configuration.

Above 3000 feet AAL, use of normal climbing speed and retraction of flaps.

On landing between 2000 and 0400 (winter +1 hour) it is recommended to avoid the use of reverse thrust if the LDA and runway condition allow the aircraft to stop using its brakes alone.


CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA) - NONE

AIRPORT CURFEWS
There is a curfew on Stage2/Chapter 2 operations from 11pm to 6am effective April 1, 2001

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS
QFU 228 is preferred up to a tail wind of 5 kt. At night, the use of runway 23 is compulsory unless its condition renders its use impossible.
QFU 048 : the use of the TODA 3100 m is restricted to wide-body aircraft (H).

When both RWYs are available, RWY 05/23 preferred up to a cross wind component of 25 kt.

RWY 11/29 limited to ACFT, in accordance with the PCN of 53 F/C/W/U. If ACFT is above this weight, an ATC clearance will be necessary, to use RWY 05/23.

TRAINING AND / OR QUALIFICATION FLIGHTS IN CIRCUIT
This type of flight include repetitive training flights for instrument approach procedures or successive visual landing traffic paterns.

Taking into account the environment protection, flights in circuit are prohibited except with special authorization from the head of Air Navigation Service after justified request with 48 hours notice.

Requirements for authorized flights
- Available time slots:
MON-FRI: from 0800 to 2000 local time
SAT, SUN, HOL: PROHIBITED.
- The authorized flights:
- will comply with special procedures specified by the air traffic control unit with in particular, compulsory application of the noise abatement procedures when going around.
- will operate first on runway 23 (QFU 228). Only aircraft of category A and B will be allowed to operate on runway 29 (QFU 289).

OPERATING QUOTA - NONE

ENGINE TESTS and RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS
Except with special authorization from the head of Air Navigation Service, engine tests are prohibited between 2200 and 0600 local time.

Tests will be run:

- in idle power on the aircraft stands
- in high power in areas assigned by the Head of control tower

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS - NONE

LANDING FEEs:
Note: Per AIP France 05 Jul 07, GEN 4.1.1 under Airport Fees, 1.1 Landing Fee - This fee is payable by any aircraft making a landing or water landing at an airport open to the public. It is calculated according to the maximum take off weight indicated on the certificate of airworthiness of the aircraft, rounded off to the next HIGHER ton.
EU and Domestic  
MTOW in Tonnes(t) Amount (in EURO)
up to 6 t 6.26 (fixed charge)
from 7 t to 25 t 2.24 per tonne over 6t
from 26 t to 75 t 5.14 per tonne over 25t
76th tonne and more 6.62 per tonne over 75t
International Landings  
MTOW in Tonnes(t) Amount (in EURO)
up to 6 t 16.37 (fixed charge)
from 7 t to 25 t 2.73 per tonne over 6t

NOISE TAX - click here for the details (revised as of January 1, 2008)

The tax is called noise pollution tax (TNSA). The "Unit Rate" is shown below.

This charge is in addition to the landing fee which is based on the aircraft's acoustic group.

Formula: Tax=b x t x log(MTOW)

t = Unit Rate (EUR 6.00)
This rate will be adjusted each year based on the domestic retail price index

b = Coefficient according to the departure time and to the acoustic group to which the aircraft belongs
