NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1 GENERAL The following procedures are defined to avoid excessive noise at and in the vicinity of Geneva airport. They also apply to training and check flights. Pilots may deviate from Noise Abatement Procedures only upon instruction of ATC, previous authorization of Airport Authority or FOCA, or if the safety so requires. The term "Night" covers the period between 2100 (2000-0359). The term "Day" covers the period between 0500 and 2059 (0400 and 1959). Training and check flights are prohibited at night. The North Apron (General Aviation Center) is closed at night except for ambulance flights and towed ground movements. Take-offs of jet aircraft with a noise certificate according to the standards of Annex 16 Volume I, Second Part, Chapter 2 of the Convention on International Aviation are prohibited. As of 30 March 2008, take-offs and landings of aircraft complying with noise certification requirements of ICAO Annex 16, Volume I, Part 2, Chapter 3 by a margin equal to or lower than 5 dBA are prohibited at night.

2. Arrivals 2.1 ILS Approach ILS approach shall be carried out at an angle equal to or above the glide path angle established for each direction as defined by the ILS profile. The descent shall be planned as to maintain a clean configuration as long as possible considering safety and ATC requirements. 2.2 Visual Approach If cleared for visual approach, pilots will be instructed to join the approach axis: - for RWY 23, at 10 NM TD (PETAL), minimum 4000 ft QNH - for Rwy 05, at 5.6 NM TD (PAS VOR) 2.3 Landing More than idle reverse shall not be used except for safety reason or if necessitated to comply with ATC request. 3. Departure Follow strictly published SIDs for RWY 23 and 05 (See AIP LSGG AD 2.24) in order to minimize noise around Geneva airport. The climb is carried out as follows for jet and propeller aircraft: take off up to 2900 ft QNH with - (reduced) take-off power - V2+10 to 20 kt speed (or according to climb gradient limitation) from 2900 ft QNH to 4400 ft QNH - V2 + 10 to 20 kt speed at 4400 ft QNH - aircraft clean up and acceleration to climb speed KONIL C/J SIDs will only be assigned to propeller aircraft and jet aircraft with noise classification IV and V according to AIP GEN 4.13 Above 5000 ft AGL, ATC may permit pilots to deviate from SIDs to shorten the path toward destination. Adherence to Noise Abatement Procedures is automatically monitored by noise monitoring system. 4. Visual Circuit Visual circuit for jet and propeller aircraft shall be flown on the northern side of the airport as follows: - right (RWY 23) or left (RWY 05) turns for cross-wind at 4 DME ILS (23/05) - climb to 3500 ft, max IAS 180 kts - base-leg on ATC instruction.

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA)

CDA procedure is not officially and formally applied, but taken into consideration during arrival when possible. Investigations are still in progress.

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM

Geneva Airport runs an automatic noise monitoring system, operating 24 hours a day. It consists of 13 microphones installed on, or in the vicinity of the airport, in noise sensitive areas, especially along flight paths. It is linked to the ATC radar system, so as to ensure proper correlation between a monitored noise and a specific aircraft. The device is used to both establish statistic records and to demonstrate track violations.

FLIGHT TRACK MONITORING SYSTEM

Yes - see information under Noise Monitoring System

NOISE LEVEL LIMITS

As of 30 March 2008, take-offs and landings of aircraft complying with noise certification requirements of ICAO Annex 16, Volume I, Part 2, Chapter 3 by a margin equal to or lower than 5 dBA are prohibited at night. Departures from 2100 to 2259 (2000-2159) are only permitted provided: a) aircraft with a noise index less than 98 EPNdB are used to destinations (non-stop flights only) of more than 5,000 km (2,700 nm), or b) aircraft with a noise index less than 96 EPNdB are used for all other destinations. NOTE: The noise index is the EPNL value that is the arithmetic average of the Chapter 3 Flyover and Lateral cert levels.
