NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

See UK AIP EGPF AD 2.21 Noise Abatement Procedures for details.

1. Operators of all aircraft inbound or outbound from the airport are required to conform to the following procedures notwithstanding that these may at any time be departed from to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger and for complyingwith the instructions of ATC.

2. Operators of all aircraft should ensure that at all times their aircraft conform to the noise abatement techniques laid down for that type of aircraft and that disturbance to the areas near the airport is kept to a minimum.

3. After take-off all aircraft whether operating from Runway 05 or 23 by day or night should expedite their climb to 1500 ft QFE before reducing power to maintain a minimum rate of climb of 500 ft per minute unti 3000 ft. QFE.

4. For Runway 23, aircraft using the ILS shall not descend below 2000 ft QFE before interceptions the glidepath nor thereafter fly below it unless instructed by Radar. After landing without assistance from the ILS or Radar shall follow a descent path which will not result in their being at any time lower than approach path consistent with a 3 degree glidepath.

5. For Runway 05, jet aircraft using the ILS shall not descend below 2000 ft QFE before intercepting the glidepath. Propeller driven aircraft may, when instructed by Radar, be descended to 1600 ft QFE. Aircraft landing without the assistance of ILS or Radar shall follow a descent path which will not result in their being at any time lower than an approach path consistent with a 3 degree glidepath.

6. For visual approaches to Runway 05 or 23 the following limitations will apply:

All aircraft whose MTWA exceeds 5700 kg must route via the AC or GLG NDB and maintain 1500 ft QFE until established on final approach.

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM
A noise monitoring and track keeping system is installed at the airport. Monitors record all noise generated by departure or arrival aircraft and indicate whether or not an aircraft has exceeded the agreed maximum noise levels. See Noise Surcharge above for fines imposed for exceeding the noise limits.

A track keeping system is also installed with the possibility of additional fines for exceeding allowable track deviations.
