Runway 06/24 restrictions:

i) Single engined jet aircraft are not permitted to take-off, roll or go-around on Runway 06.

ii) All other aircraft departing Runway 06 must use the full length of the runway.

iii) Practice engine failures after take-off are not permitted on Runway 06.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

The following procedures are to be used at all times by pilots using Farnborough. However, the requirements may at any time be departed from to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger or for complying with ATC instructions.

a. Pilots are to ensure that their aircraft are operated in a manner likely to cause the least disturbance in the areas surrounding the aerodrome.

b. Ground running of engines may only take place between the hours of 0800 – 2000 Mon – Fri (one hour earlier in Summer) excluding public holidays and is to be notified to ATC at the commencement and cessation of each run. All engine runs by jet aircraft, other than runs at ground idle power setting, are to be carried out on the engine ground running base on West 1 apron marked by the Sign “EGR”. Ground Running during weekends and public holidays is restricted to essential maintenance work only.

c. Departures
All departures are to use best rate of climb until at or above altitude 3000ft. If the initial clearance involves leveling off below 3000ft. power settings used must not result in excessive noise levels at points on the ground underneath the flightpath, especially when climb is recommenced.

Note: A noise and track monitoring system is in operation.
Additionally, for all jet aircraft and other aircraft in excess of 5700kg MTWA departing from runway 24: if the assigned heading requires a right turn after take-off, this turn must be delayed until passing altitude 1800ft or 2.5DME from I-FNB whichever comes sooner.

Note: This additional procedure may be cancelled by ATC if there is conflicting traffic in the instrument pattern for Runway 28 at Odiham Aerodrome using the phrase “cancel noise abatement”

d. ILS approaches are mandatory except when a non precision or visual approach is provided or authorized by ATC. The use of the ILS glidepath if radiating is recommended for all approaches. All aircraft approaching to land or go-around from a visual or non precision approach shall establish on final approach not below 1000ft aal (1237ft amsl) and thereafter shall follow a descent path which will not result in the aircraft being at any time lower than 3.5º GP as is indicated by the PAPIs or ILS glidepath. Aircraft commanders are requested to minimize noise disturbance in the areas overflown during final approach by conforming to low power low drag procedures at all times.

e. Traffic subject to noise abatement procedures should not normally expect a left turn out when departing from Runway 06.

f. To minimize disturbance in areas adjacent to the aerodrome, commanders of aircraft are requested to avoid the use of reverse thrust at all times, consistent with the safe operation of the aircraft. Where use of reverse thrust is essential, the use of idle reverse thrust should be used in preference.

g. The running of APUs is banned between the hours of 2230 and 0630 (local time).

h Chapter II/Stage II aircraft are not accepted. Prior Sight of an ICAO noise certificate is required for any aircraft not manufactured as Chapter III/Stage III compliant, wishing to land at Farnborough.

i. For environmental reasons, intersection departures are prohibited, all departures must use the full runway length; Runway 06 departures must use the starter extension.
