Noise Preferential Routings and Procedures -
all aircraft inbound or outbound from this aerodrome are required
to conform to the following procedures, notwithstanding that these
may at any time be departed from to the extent necessary for avoiding
immediate danger:
a. Every operator of aircraft using the aerodrome shall ensure
at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated
to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding
the aerodrome. In particular, aircraft operators should avoid
overflight of the noise sensitive areas of Binley Woods (05 departures,
23 arrivals) and Stoneleigh (o5 arrivals, 23 departures).
b. Air Traffic Control will select the runway in use, having regard
to wind, cloud base, approach aid limitations, aircraft performance
limitations and environmental considerations. However, the runway
to be used remains at the discretion of the aircraft commander,
but violation of the ATC selective runway procedure is not acceptable
for expedition or convenience, and it is regretted that increased
taxiing distances and/or airborne routings must be accepted in
the interest of reducing noise intrusion on the local environment.
c. Jet aircraft must not join the final approach track to any
runway at a height of less than 1500 ft (QFE), except that jet
aircraft carrying out visual circuit training may descend from
1500 ft (QFE) on base leg and join the final approach track not
less than 1000 ft (QFE).
d. Propeller driven aircraft of more than 5700 kg MTWA must not
join the final approach track to any runway at a height of less
than 1000 ft (QFE).
e. Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft using the ILS
in IMC or VMC shall not descend below the height specified in
c or d above intercepting the glide path nor thereafter fly below
it. Aircraft approaching without assistance from ILS or radar
shall follow a descent path with will not result in it being at
any time lower than the approach path which would be followed
by an aircraft using the ILS glide path.
f. When radar vectoring is being given to inbound aircraft of
more than 5700 kg MTWA and a visual approach is requested, the
aircraft will be vectored towards a five mile final.
g. The Noise Preferential Routings given below are compatible
with ATC requirements and shall apply in both VMC and IMC. The
tracks are to be flown by all departing jet aircraft, and by all
other departing jet aircraft, and by all other departing aircraft
of more than 5700 kg MTWA, unless otherwise instructed by ATC
or unless deviations are required in the interest of safety. The
use of the route is supplementary to noise take-off techniques.
After take-off, pilots should ensure that they are at a minimum
height of 500 ft aal before initiating any turn:
i. Runway 05
Climb on track to CT, after passing CT, then turn on track or
as instructed by ATC.
Training aircraft in the circuit - as above then complete the
right turn crosswind.
ii Runway 23
Southerly departures
Climb straight ahead; after passing 500 ft aal, turn left onto
track 150° MAG, on passing 1000 ft aal, turn on track or
as instructed by ATC.
Northerly departures
Climb straight ahead; after passing 500 ft aal, turn left onto
track 215° MAG; after crossing HON RDL 115 (HON DME 5.5)
turn on track (or as instructed by ATC).
DC-6 aircraft – All departures
Climb straight ahead, after passing 500 ft aal, turn left onto
track 150° MAG, on passing 1000 ft aal turn on track or
as instructed by ATC.
Note; Northbound departures will be required to make a left
turn after passing 1000 ft aal as directed.
Training aircraft in the circuit:
As 'Southerly Departures',
but continue on track 200 deg. MAG then complete the left turn
downwind.
h. Take-off and landing by DC-6 aircraft are not permitted between
2300 and 0600 local time.
j. Ground running of aircraft engines shall be subject to the
approval of ATC and shall be kept to a minimum, consistent with
operational needs.
i. Always Inbound Routes
Inbound aircraft following airways routes will be positioned
by the appropriate ACC to initially follow a Birmingham STAR.
Aircraft will then be positioned by radar at Conventry or routed
to the LCT for an approach. |
