Note: High terrain southeast of airport. Use of runways: 1. Runway 12/30 is not available when the IRVR is less than 1200 m. 2. Runway 12/30 will not be available when aircraft are parked on Block 33. Runway 12/30 is a visual runway only. 3 . Between 2100 and 0630 hours local time Monday - Friday and 1800-0900 at Saturday night and 1800 to 0630 Sunday night runway 12/30 will not be available unless: a) Runway 06/24 is not available due to work in progress b) surface wind conditions dictate that Runway 12/30 must be used Runway 12/30 will at times be available to aircraft in an emergency except if aircraft parked on the overspill apron on Block 33 cannot be moved.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

All aircraft inbound to or outbound from Edinburgh 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. 1. 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 2. For visual approaches to Runway 06/24 the following limitations will apply: a) Propeller driven aircraft whose MTWA does not exceed 5700kg will not join the final approach to either runway below 1000ft AAL. b) All approaches to Runway 24 by aircraft with an MTWA in excess of 5700 kg are to be made from a position not less than 5NM DME on the runway extended centerline. Aircraft approaching this point from a southerly direction are not to descend below 2000ft QFE until after crossing the Firth of Forth coastline northbound. Aircraft approaching Runway 06 are to join the extended runway centerline at a height of not less than 1500ft. 3. With the exception of aircraft in an emergency - between the hours of 2230 and 0630 (Local), no visual approaches to Runway 06/24 are permitted for IFR aircraft. All IFR aircraft to carry out ILS approaches under ATC control. 4. Aircraft using the ILS shall not descend below 2000ft (Edinburgh QFE) before intercepting the glide path nor thereafter fly below it, and aircraft landing without assistance from ILS or radar shall follow a descent path which will not result in their being at any time lower than the approach path which would be followed by aircraft using the ILS glide path. 5. Noise Preferential Routings - see UK API Edinburgh EGPH AD 2.21

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA)

EDI requests that, where possible/practical, CDA are carried out but it is not mandatory at present time. We do not measure conformance at the present time.

AIRPORT CURFEWS

Between 2300-0600 the aerodrome is available for passenger flights by aircraft meeting NN/B and NN/C standards; it is strictly subject to PPR. NN/A and non-noise certificated aircraft are not permitted during the restriction period. NN/B aircraft are those with a 95 PNdB (measuring unit for the perceived noise level used instead of db) contour not exceeding 10.5 square kilometers in area on the ground at a maximum certificated take-off when using ICAO take-off procedure and with a 95 PNdB noise contour at maximum certificated landing weight and maximum flap setting not exceeding 6.5 square kilometers on the ground when landing; all non-jet aircraft are included. NN/C aircraft are those with a 95 PNdB contour not exceeding 5.2 square kilometers in area on the ground at maximum certificated take-off weight when using ICAO take-off procedure and with a 95 PNdB noise contour at maximum certificate landing weight and maximum flap setting not exceeding 1.0 square kilometer on the ground when landing.

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS - NONE

OPERATING QUOTA - NONE

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS

There is no designated maintenance area at Edinburgh for EGR's. A suitable site is selected taking into account wind direction and speed, operational requirements, and environmental considerations. EGR's are permitted daily between 0700 and 2300 hours except between 0700 and 1300 hours on a Sunday when limited EGR's are permitted on stand.

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM

A noise monitoring and route tracking system is in operation. Offenders will be penalized. There are currently no noise regulations with respect to ramp or APU operating restrictions. The airport receives approximately 300 noise complaints per annum, the majority attributable to alleged poor aircraft track keeping. Noise and environmental issues are discussed with local community representatives at the Quarterly Airport Consultative Committee meetings and with the local flying community at the quarterly Flight Operations Committee. The airport liaises closely with National Air Traffic Services, the provider of ATC services at Edinburgh who provide assistance with the investigation of all noise complaints.

FLIGHT TRACK MONITORING SYSTEM

Yes
