NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Pursuant to CAR 602.105, the following procedures apply at Hamilton International Airport. Departure RWY VNAP All RWYS A or B Departures Departures not permitted on runway 06 between 2300-0700 hours local time unless authorized by Airport General Manager. Runway 12L: Climb on track of 117deg till ZHM NDB and 3000 ft. Runway 30R: Climb on rwy to 1300 ft. Turn left heading 260deg till abeam ZHA NDB. No right turn below 4000 ft. Runways 06, 24: Climb on runway heading to 3000 ft before proceeding on course. Arrival Arrivals not permitted on and approaches not permitted to Runway 24 between 2300-0700 hours local time unless authorized by Airport General Manager. Visual Arrivals: 1. Aircraft 26,000 kg and over (max cert gross take-off weight) maintain 3000 ft or above North of Rwy 12-30 except on final. 2. Remain on or above ILS glide slope or assumed 3 deg glide path. Reverse Thrust Consistent with safety of operations, pilots should minimize reverse thrust when using Runways 12 and 30.

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA)

The airport plans to use CDA by January 2009. Per NAV Canadia: In Canada we have 20 airports with RNAV STARS which are basically constant descent arrivals into the terminal areas (from assigned FL to below 5000’). Depending on the traffic, there would be no restrictions until landing. At our major and secondary airports, CDAs are used at all times for descent to the terminal (from assigned FL to below 10,000 and below – The constant descent is then revised by ATC depending on traffic, metering requirements, aircraft equipage). At most secondary airports and tertiary airports, aircraft are cleared for the approach. This is basically a CDA controlled by the pilot until landing, unless ATC needs to apply a restriction (level off) due to inbound/outbound IFR traffic (assuming no surveillance capability).

AIRPORT CURFEWS - NONE

No curfew on commerical flights however training flights are not permitted between 2300-0700 hours local time unless authorized by the Airport General Manager.

COMMENTS

Canadian Aviation Regulations Noise Operating Criteria 602.105 No person shall operate an aircraft at or in the vicinity of an aerodrome except in accordance with the applicable noise abatement procedures and noise control requirements specified by the Minister in the Canada Air Pilot or Canada Flight Supplement, including the procedures and requirements relating to (a) preferential runways; (b) minimum noise routes; (c) hours when aircraft operations are prohibited or restricted; (d) arrival procedures; (e) departure procedures; (f) duration of flights; (g) the prohibition or restriction of training flights; (h) VFR or visual approaches; (i) simulated approach procedures; and (j) the minimum altitude for the operation of aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome. 602.106 (1) Subject to subsection (2), no person shall operate a subsonic turbojet aeroplane that has a maximum certificated take-off weight of more than 34,000kg (74,956 pounds) on take-off at a noise restricted runway set out in column II of an item of the table to this section at an aerodrome set out in column I of that item, unless there is on board (a) a certificate of airworthiness indicating that the aeroplane meets the applicable noise emission standards; (b) a certificate of noise compliance issued in respect of the aeroplane; or (c) where the aeroplane is not a Canadian aircraft, a document issued by the state of registry that specifies that the aeroplane meets the applicable noise emission requirements of that state. (2)Subsection (1) does not apply (a) to the extent that it is inconsistent with any obligation assumed by Canada in respect of a foreign state in a treaty, convention or agreement; (b) where the pilot in command of an aircraft has declared an emergency; or (c) where an aircraft is operated on (i) an air evacuation operation, (ii) any other emergency air operation, or (iii) a departure from an aerodrome at which it was required to land because of an emergency.
