| 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 – Noise Preferential Routings
i The Noise Preferential Routings given below are compatible
with ATC requirements and shall apply in both VMC and IMC. The
tracks are to be flown by all departing jet aircraft, and by
all other aircraft of more than
2730kg MTWA, unless otherwise instructed by ATC or unless deviations
are required in the interests of safety.
ii The use of the route is supplementary to noise abatement
take-off techniques (see below).iii After take-off, pilots should
ensure that they are at a minimum height of 500 ft aal before
initiating any turn:
1. Runway 06: Climb straight ahead to 2 DME, then turn on
track or as instructed by ATC. Note: see paragraph e.
2. Runway 24: Southerly departures (GWC, HAZEL). Climb straight
ahead; after passing 500 ft aal turn left onto track 220°
M; at 2 DMEturn on track or as instructed by ATC.
Northerly departures (CPT). Climb straight ahead to 2 DME,
then turn on track or as instructed by ATC.
iv Noise Abatement take-off techniques
1. All departures are to use best rate of climb until at
or above 3000 ft. If the initial departure clearance involves
levelling off below 3000ft. power settings used must not result
in excessive noise levels at points on the ground underneath
the flightpath, especially when climbis recommenced.
Note: A noise and track monitoring system is in operation.
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. Arrivals
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 (1238ft 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. Additionally the requirements
in AD 2.22 Flight Procedures, paragraph 1(a) must be complied
with.
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.
