NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Noise abatement procedures applied to an airport are classified in three categories: 1 - Restrictions for use of the aerodrome 2 - Restrictions for use of aircraft 3 - Restrictions applied to air traffic. All these restrictions applied at Charles de Gaulle Airport as follow: 1. Restrictions for Use of Aerodrome 1.1 Procedures for use of runways In both aerodrome configurations Eastward and Westward: - RWY 08R/26L and 09L/27R are mainly used for landings. - RWY 08L/26R and 09R/27L are mainly used for takeoffs. Landings must be carried out independently and simultaneously. The same procedures must be followed for take-offs. 1.2 Restriction for use of runways Except for complete or partial closure RWY 27L, RWY 26R may only be used by aircraft for take-off belong into Chapter 3 which proceed outbound westward or turning left after the initial climb. 1.3 Testing of Engines Engines may be tested at predetermined points and in accordance with procedures as defined by Airports de Paris. "Testing of engines" means all operations carried out on an aircraft which is stationary with its engines going for more than 5 minutes at a power setting greater than, power used for starting up engines or taxiing. As from 1st January 1998, the testing of engines may not be carried out from 2200 to 0600 local time. Derogations can be granted from firstly 2200 to 2300 and secondly from 0500 to 0600 local time, under exceptional circumstances for flight safety reasons, by the minister in charge of civil aviation, requested by the flight supervisor, owner, technical or commercial operator of the aircraft 1.4 Restrictions for use of Aircraft 1.4.1 No jet engined aircraft which is not in compliance with standards of ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3, may takeoff or land at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, from/to: - 2315-0600 local time of departure from parking area - 2330-0615 local time of arrival on the parking area Derogrations can be granted under exceptional circumstances by the minister in charge of Civil Aviation (Send the request to DGAC - Direction des Transports Aeriens, 50 rue Henri Farman 75720 Paris Cedex 15) 1.4.2 Dispositions found in 1.4.1 do not restrict landings and take offs on an exceptional basis for the following aircraft: - scheduled which have been flights from/to Paris airports outside the stated times in 1.4.1 and control delayed for purely technical reasons outside the company's control - aircraft substituted at the last moment, for purely technical reasons, for aircraft not mentioned in 1.4.1 - sanitary flights 1.4.3 Captains may only derogate from the rules laid down in 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 if he considers it absolutely necessary for safety reasons. 1.4.4 In addition, the air traffic control organism can, for safety reasons, give clearances derogating from rules laid down in 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 1.4.5 An aircraft can be operated on French metropolitan airfields, only if it has an acoustic certificate attesting compliance to the norms edicted in the second edition (1988) of ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3. This ban applicable to the civilian subsonic aircraft whose maximum takeoff weight is equal or over 34000 kg or whose maximum internal fitting is certified for this type of aircraft comprised of more than nineteen passenger seats excluding all seats reserved for the crew. 1.4.6 In accordance with the provisions of Article R 221-3 from Civil Aviation Code and in order to reduce the noise pollution in the vicinity of Paris Charles de Gaulle Aerodrome (VAL d'Oise), the following operating restrictions are decided for this platform.

Restrictions for Use of Aircraft 2.1 Operational procedures for takeoff Pilots proceeding quiet takeoff from CDG are to apply the following operational procedures: Generally speaking pilots are to conduct their flight (in accordance with the operational standards to be applied to each aircraft) in order to reach 3000 ft AAL as fast as practicable. Pilots of turbo-engines are besides to comply with the initial climb procedures as follows: - to maintain a speed V2 + 10 (or the speed that allows flight altitude according to the type of aircraft) until a height of 3000 ft proceeding a wing flap deflection in accordance with the takeoff configuration; - to maintain takeoff power until 1500 ft then maximum climb power rating up to 3000 ft; - at 3000 ft proceed normal climbing power and flap retraction then adopt climb attitude. 2.2 Procedures for landing Pilots are to perform their approach so as to maintain the last altitude assigned by ATS until interception of glide path. After the interception the final approach must be effected so as not to fly beneath this plan. 3. Restrictions to Apply for Air Traffic Purposes The restrictions to apply for air traffic purposes at CDG are of two types: - restrictions for use of certain outbound tracks. - obligation for pilots to follow certain outbound tracks. 3.1 Restrictions for use of certain departure procedures 3.1.1 Westbound takeoffs in line with the runway can only be made by aircraft belonging to Chapter 3 and these aircraft must maintain a minimum climb gradient of 6.5%. These procedures can't be made by aircraft belonging to Chapter 2 as described below.

Environment Protection Airspaces (VPE) 5.1 Definition of Environment Protection Airspaces (VPE) Environment protection airspace: An airspace section associated to a departure or arrival procedure notified to users through Aeronautical Information Service, in which the flight shall be contained for environmental reasons. Exit limits: Section of lateral limits in environment protection airspace, located between the points defined in appendix, through which the flight can leave the environment protection airspace. Entry limits: Section of the lateral limits in environment protection airspace, located between the points defined in the attached appendix, through which the flight can enter the environment protection airspace. 5.2 Application of VPE Requirements The captain of an aircraft operating IFR shall fly within the environment protection airspace associated with the procedure declared in force by the ATC unit. The concerned procedures and the associated environment protection airspaces are defined in the appendix attached to the Ministerial Order. When an environment protection airspace is associated with an initial departure, the flight captain must enter this airspace through the "entry limits". The flight captain can only waive the regulations defined in paragraph 2 of this article if he thinks that it is absolutely necessary for safety reasons or if he has received an air traffic control instruction issued from the ATC unit for flight safety reasons. The provisions relative to environment protection airspaces associated with initial departure procedures, specified in paragraph 2 of the article, are not applied to propeller-driven aircraft from 0600-2315, departure local time from the parking area except if there is no specific procedure for these aircraft. 5.3 Limits of Environment Protection Airspaces (See charts in AIP AD2 LFPG VPE 01 to AD2 LFPG VPE 08). 8/20/99 - A draft bill was approved by the French Parliament (July 1st) that will set up an independent group call the "Authorite de Control des Nuisances Sonores Aeroportuaires" to monitor noise levels at French airports and will be allowed to impose fines of up to FF 80,000 ($13,000) on airlines and FF 10,000 on pilots that disregard noise abatement procedures on takeoff, landing or engine run-ups. This group is set to be and operating by fall 1999. The new law also restricts helicopter operations over over populated areas.
