NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

All aircraft inbound to or outbound from this airport 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 airport shall ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the airport. b. Aircraft shall not join the final approach to either runway at a height of less than 1500 ft Aberdeen QFE unless they are propeller-driven aircraft whose MTWA does not exceed 5700kg when the minimum height shall be 1000ft Aberdeen QFE. c. Landing aircraft shall not descend below 1800 ft Aberdeen QFE before intercepting the ILS Glide-path nor thereafter fly below it. Aircraft landing without ILS assistance shall follow a descent path consistent with a 3 degree Glide-path. d. The Noise Preferential Routings specified in the following tables are compatible with ATC requirements and the tracks are to be flown by all 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. e. Approach to Helistrip 23 aiming point should be on a heading of 218 degrees (MAG). f. Subject to Air Traffic Control requirements and weather conditions: i. Training circuits should be undertaken to the west of the aerdrome. ii. Fixed wing departures should be on Runway 34 and between 2300-0600(Winter), 2200-0500 (Summer). Arrivalse should be on RWY 16. g. Aircraft operating between 2330-0600 (Winter) 2230-5030 (Summer) are requested to use minimal reverse thrust for noise abatement where this will not compromise the safe conduct of flight. See AIP UK, EGPD AD-2.21 for specific Noise Preferential Departure Routes
