upon instruction of ATC, previous authorization of Airport Authority
or FOCA, or if the safety so requires.
2.21.1.3 The term "Night" covers the period between
2200 and 0559 local time. The term "Day" covers the

NOISE SURCHARGE
| The authorities of both Geneva and Zurich airports announced
the introduction of an amendment of the noise related landing charges
and informed the main users directly. With respect to legal regulations
and the procedures followed and considering the statements furnished
by airlines and user organizations, both Zurich and Geneva airport
authorities have decided that the amendment will enter into force
on April 1, 2000 (and not on January 1, 2000 as was originally
planned) as follows: |
| The noise surcharge is added to the landing charge for aircraft
types ranging from class 1 to class 5. The amount of noise surcharge
is: |
| for class 1 |
CHF 1000 |
| for class 2 |
CHF 600 |
| for class 3 |
CHF 400 |
| for class 4 |
CHF 200 |
| for aircraft types of class 5, no surcharge is levied. |
| Hushkitted aircraft are placed one class beyond the original
type until confirmedmeasurable data are available. The operators
are requested to make available to the airport authority all documents
certifying the monifications realized. There will be no retroactive
reimbursement. |
| All objection to the classification of the aircraft have to be
notified within three months following the reception of the invoice.
Late requests are considered as precriptive. |
| The noise surcharge for jet-propelled aircraft shall be as follows: |

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. |

NOISE LEVEL LIMITS
|
2.21.1.7 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.
2.20.1.2.3.1 Departures from 2101* to 2300* UTC 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 (2,800 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.

CHAPTER 2 RESTRICTIONS
| Chapter 2 airplanes are banned from operating at
airports in Switzerland as of April 1, 2002. |
CHAPTER 2 PHASEOUT
| From April 1, 2002 all civil subsonic jet aeroplanes operating
at airports in Switzerland must comply with Chapter 3 standards.
See information below: |
| The Swiss Federal Rule
for Chapter 2 Phaseout |
| The Swiss Federal Council has decreed on 23rd February 1994 an
Ordinance on noise related operating restrictions for jet aircraft
(SR 748,121,12) |
| For information and convenience of english speaking readers,

2 and 3 hereafter. |
Article 2 General Exemptions
Subsonic jet aircraft with a noise certification corresponding at
least to Chapter 2 (of ICAO Annex 16) may operate at Swiss airports
for a period of 25 years after their year of manufacture, but no
longer than 31 March 2002. |
Article 3 Authorized Exemptions
The Federal Office for Civil Aviation may grant exemptions to Article
1 for important reasons, namely: |
a) for aircraft registered in developing countries
b) for aircraft of historical interest
c) for flights for the purpose of alteration, repair or maintenance
|
Article 4 Airport Operating Conditions
Airport operators may impose conditions for airport use by aircraft
subject to Article 2 and 3, provided these conditions are approved
by the Federal Office for Civil Aviation |
Article 5 Fees
The fee due for any exemption granted under Article will be SF140 |
Article 6
This Ordiance will come into force on 15 March 1994 |
CHAPTER 3 RESTRICTIONS - NONE
