NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1. Aircraft operators shall ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the airport. 2. Standard Instrument Departures Strict compliance with SID is mandatory. 3. Other Instrument Departures 3.1 Cat A, B Aircraft Departures must maintain straight ahead after take-off until passing 750FT QNH before commencing turn. No takeoff shall be commenced before the departure end of the runway. 3.2 Cat C, D Aircraft 3.2.1 Departures from all runways except runway 10, must maintain straight ahead after takeoff to 5NM before commencing turn, unless otherwise cleared by ATC above 3000 feet. 3.2.2 Departures from Runway 10 must continue straight ahead to 5NM as appropriate to the SID , before commencing turn. 3.2.3 Takeoff climb shall comply with the procedure detailed below, which is based on noise abatement departure climb guidance contained in PANS-OPS ICAO Doc 8168, Volume 1, Appendix to Chapter 3 - NAPD2

Take-off to 1500 ft Takeoff power Takeoff flaps Climb at V2+10 to 20 KT (or as limited by body angle) 1500-3000 ft (Above Aerodrome Elevation) Reduce power to not less than climb power/thrust. Accelerate smoothly to max 230 KT with flap retraction on schedule At 3000 ft (Above Aerodrome Elevation) Transition smoothly to en-route climb speed (Max 250 KT below FL 100) 4 Jet aircraft (Cat C/D) on visual approach to Runways 28, 10,16, and 34 must join final approach no closer than 6NM from touchdown. Aircraft must follow a descent path which will not result in being at any time lower than the approach path which would otherwise be followed using the ILS glide-path. 5. Runway 10/28 (incorporating operations on Runway 11/29, as appropriate) is the required runway between 0600 and 2300 hrs (local), when the cross wind component is 15 knots or less and the tailwind component is 5 knots or less. Aircraft are required to use this runway except when operational reasons dictate otherwise. 6. Runways will be prioritized for noise abatement purposes between 2300 and 0600 hrs (local) subject to wind (crosswind component 15 knots or less and tailwind component 5 knots or less) and operational parameters, as follows:

PRIORITY 1 2 3 4 Arrivals R/W 10 R/W 16 R/W 28 R/W 34 Departures R/W 28 R/W 34 R/W 10 R/W 16 7. Reverse thrust should not be used during landing operations on any runway between 2300 and 0600 (local), except where operational or safety reasons dictate otherwise. 8. Category C and D aircraft using runways 28, 16 and 34 shall operate within environmental corridors which are based on runway take-off path areas.The corridors have a width of 180m at the departure end of the clearway, diverging at 12.5% on each side to a maximum width of 1800m, and extending in length to 5NM from the point of origin.The corridors extend vertically from surface to 3000ft AMSL. Category C and D aircraft using runway 10 shall operate within an environmental corridor which is based on the runway take-off paths area.  The corridor has a width of 180m at the departure end of the clearway, diverging at 12.5% on each side to a maximum width of 1800m, and extending in length from the point of origin to 5NM for northern boundary of the corridor and 6NM for the southern boundary of the corridor. There is no upper vertical limit to this corridor. The corridors apply for departures from each runway and also for approaches to the reciprocal runway, except for circling approaches
