NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

(Provision of Italian Civil Aviation Authority N 42/674/A3 dated March 21, 1996)

Initial climb procedures (RWY 25 excluded).


Compliance with the procedures below shall not be required in adverse weather conditions or for safety reasons.

During the initial climb phase pilots shall maintain the following parameters:

a) up to 1500 ft QFE:
- take-off power
- take-off flap
- climb V2+10/20 kt IAS or as limited by body angle
b) at 1500 ft QFE
- reduce thrust and climb at V2+ 10/20 kt IAS until reaching 3000 ft QFE
c) at 3000 ft QFE
- accelerate smoothly to en-route climb speed with flap retraction.

Approach and landing procedures
Pilots shall conduct their flight at a speed which permits operation of the aircraft in clean configuration until reaching a distance of approximately 12 NM from touch down.

Recommended speed is 210 kt + or - 10 KT or the aircraft's minimum performance speed if higher than above.

Subsequent portion of the approach, either instrument or visual, shall be flown with a properly set slope to achieve, if possible, a continuous descent, the interception of approach path not below 3000 ft QFE and aircraft to be established not beyond the OM or equivalent position.

Execution technique must be performed with aircraft deceleration action and aerodynamic configuration change so as to achieve final speed and configuration at the OM, FAF or equivalent position.

Compliance with the above procedure is recommended provided that it is compatible with ATC instructions and weather conditions are favorable.
Non compliance is allowed in case of precision approach CAT II and III.
No instrument or visual approach shall be made at an angle less than the ILS glide path or less than 3 degrees if no ILS is available.

Aircraft executing a visual approach shall intercept descent path at not lower than 1000 FT QFE.

The use of the reverse thrust at power higher than idle is allowed only in the event of proven safety/operational reasons.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
(AIP ITALIA AGA 2-41.1)

a) RWY 34L
When meteorological conditions allow, fly down wind leg East of the airport and at a height not lower than 2000 FT, start base turn over the shore so as to complete it at 1500 FT at about 6 NM from the runway threshold.

When traffic conditions allow and if pilot agrees with, ATC unit may authorize aircraft to fly the down wind leg East of the Airport at a height not lower than 1000 FT and to make the base turn North-West of Ostia avoiding to overfly the town.

b) RWY 16R or 25
When meteorological conditions allow, overfly Ostia town at a height not lower than 2000 FT

AIRPORT CURFEWS
Runway 16R not used from 2300 to 0600 LT

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS
Runway 25 for takeoff - Runway 16L/34R for landing. If runway selected is not suitable for operation desired, the pilot may request permission to use another runway, in such case the aircraft may be subject to delay.

Should departing aircraft require for take-off a runway longer than RWY 25, pilots may request RWY 16R/34L during HR 0600-2300 LT and RWY 16L/34R during HR 2300-0600 LT.

Due to application of noise abatement new procedure, aircraft provided with Noise Certificate complying with requirements of Chapter 2, Volume 1, ICAO Annex 16, will take-off only from RWY 25 or RWY 16L/34R.

RWY 16R/34L may be used only in case of technical or safety reasons.

OPERATING QUOTA - NONE

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS - NONE

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS
APU use not allowed on stands provided with 400Hz and pre conditioning.

NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM
ADR has installed a noise track monitoring system with a radar track link since 1995.

It is been recently updated and now it works with 9 fixed remote stations linked to a master station + 1 mobile monitoring station. The system is integrated with 2 weather stations.


FLIGHT TRACK MONITORING SYSTEM
Yes - see information under Noise Monitoring System

NOISE LEVEL LIMITS
Noise values are calculated in terms of LVA, expressed in units of dB(A), in accordance to Italian noise regulations.
Index LVA is similar to Ldn but it is calculated taking into account 3 peak weeks choosen in well defined periods of the year and the night period is considered from 2300-0600 LT.

Three areas have been defined to assess the impact of the airport:

Zone A Lva < 65 dB(A) no restriction to buildings or land use
Zone B 65 dB(A) > Lva < 75 dB(A) restriction to buildings and land use
Zone C Lva > 75 dB(A) only buildings linked to airport and land use only for airport facilities

CHAPTER 2 RESTRICTIONS
Chapter 2 airplanes >75,000 lbs are banned from operating at airports in EU Member States as of April 1, 2002.

CHAPTER 2 PHASEOUT
From April 1, 2002 all civil subsonic jet aeroplanes >75,000 lbs operating at airports in EU Member States must comply with the standards specified in Part II, Chapter 3, Volume 1 of Annex 16 in accordance with EU Council Directive 92/14/EEC.

CHAPTER 3 RESTRICTIONS

Note: As of 7/2006, the restrictions shown below are not yet in effect. The airport is waiting for the guidelines from the Ministry.

The EU “Noise Management Directive” 2002/30/CE, transferred into national law (Decree 17/1/2005 nr.13), allows the gradual withdrawal over a period of five years of so called marginally compliant aircraft (defined as aircraft not meeting the Chapter Three standard with a cumulative margin of at least five EPNdB) on an airport by airport basis.
