NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

In order to reduce aircraft noise impact on residential areas in the vicinity of Helsinki-Vantaa and Helsinki-Malmi airports the following procedures will be applied. Flying below the altitude of 600m (2000ft) MSL over Helsinki noise abatement area must be avoided, unless lower altitude is necessary for take-off or landing. The noise abatement procedures include a preferential runway system (see below) restrictions on training flights and restrictions on maintenance run-ups(see below). Unless wind condition criteria prevent - Runway 15 is not used for departures and runway 33 for landings, except during 0400-2100 UTC for turboprops and other propeller driven aircraft. Training flights: Local IFR training flights and VFR touch and go landings are subject to ATC permission and will be accepted for justified reasons only. The decisions for granting a permission will be based on the current and expected traffic situation and the judgment of the level of noise impact caused by such activity. Thrust Reverse: Pilots are recommended to avoid reverse thrust except idle thrust after landing. SIDs are designed as Noise Preferential Routes and shall be followed as instructed by ATC. Arrivals: Maintain at least 2000 feet until intercepting glide path of ILS or PAPI, do not fly below glide path of ILS or PAPI. Without ILS or PAPI maintain at least a glide path of 3 degrees. Departures: After takeoff climb as rapidly as practicable to at least 2000f feet AAL. Follow Standard Instrument Departure Routes depicted in Helsinki SID charts as closely as possible unless clear do otherwise.

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA)

The landing procedure at Helsinki-Vantaa enables use of CDA procedure (since 2001). About 20 % of arrivals are nowadays using CDA. For further increase of CDA Finavia has started a development project in March 2008.

AIRPORT CURFEWS - NONE

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS

Runways are used in the following preferential order:
	1	2	3	4	5	6
Landings	15	22L	04L	04R	22R	33
Departures	22R	22L	04R	33	04L	15

OPERATING QUOTA - NONE

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS

Scheduled maintenance run-ups shall be avoided between 2000-0500 UTC and on Sundays. Run-ups, excluding idle power, must be performed on the run-up area. If the run-up area is occupied or can not be used for any other reason, the run-ups shall always be performed as agreed with the TWR

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS

Aircraft parked at the apron shall always use ground power when it is available at the stand. The use of APU is restricted to unavoidable situations only.

NOISE BUDGET - NONE

NOISE SURCHARGE

Updated 1/9/04 Airport & Air Navigation Charges Manual A noise surcharge for night time departures (2300 - 0600 LMT) with turbojet aircraft. The charge is calculated according to the aircraft's certificated noise level (in accordance with ICAO Annex 16 Vol I part II chapter 3 or FAR Part 36 stage 3). Aircraft which are unable to show a noise certificate according to the above mentioned document will be charged at the highest noise rate of the same aircraft type. Charges less than 6.93 EUR will not be billed. Charge for one takeoff is: Charge = Cd * 10 ^ [(Ld-Td)/10] Unit rate, Cd = 6.93 EUR Ld = mean of the sideline and take-off noise levels of the aircraft Minimum threshold at departure, Td = 86 EPNdB. Application: Departures at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport between 23:00 -6:00 LMT with turbojet aircraft only.

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM

monitor locations
Aircraft noise and flight tracks are monitored by using Lochard’s Global Environment Monitoring System (GEMS) system. The system gathers information about flight tracks, measured noise and flight plans.
