NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

a Noise abatement procedures for aircraft departing London/City and joining Controlled Airspace are included in the appropriate Standard Instrument Departure (SID) instructions. b Aircraft departing London/City CTR/CTA into the FIR or departing on training flights within the London/City CTR/CTA are to climb straight ahead to a minimum of 1000 ft aal before turning on track unless otherwise instructed by ATC. c Aircraft making approaches to London/City without assistance from the ILS shall follow a descent path which will not result in its being at any time lower than the approach path that would be followed by an aircraft using the ILS glide path. d Pilots of aircraft carrying out visual approaches to either runway visually shall fly at a height of not less than 1500 ft aal until established on the final approach. e Aircraft manoeuvring visually (circling) to one runway after making an ILS approach to the other shall do so at as high an altitude as possible compatible with the cloud base, retaining visual contact, and appropriate published visual manoeuvring (circling) height minima.

AIRPORT CURFEWS

Airport Operations Hours of Opening Between 06.30 and 22.00 hours on weekdays Between 06.30 and 12.30 hours on Saturdays Between 12.30 and 22.00 on Sundays. Between 09.00 and 22.00 hours on Bank Holidays (*Until that date the opening hours extend until 13.00 on Saturdays and the Airport may open for traffic at 12.00 hours on Sundays.) Only six air transport movements are permitted between 06.30 and 06.59 hours and it is proposed that there should be controls on the noise made by these particular aircraft. The Airport is closed to flights on Christmas Day. There are exemptions for aircraft using the Airport in an emergency and aircraft are permitted to take off or land during the period of 30 minutes after the Airport closes for traffic where they have suffered unavoidable operational delays. These flights must not exceed 400 in any calendar year or 150 in any consecutive period of three months. Limitation on Air Transport Movements August 2007 Note: The airport has applied to increase the number of permitted flights to 120,000 per year compared with around 81,000 in 2006. Limitation on Air Transport Movements AIR transport movements (ATMs) are flights by civil aircraft for the transport of passengers, cargo or mail on commercial terms including flights by aircraft engaged in sightseeing tours. The permitted number of ATMs is as follows: * 140 per day on Saturdays and Sundays but not exceeding 220 on any consecutive Saturday and Sunday * 240 on other days except 1 January, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day Holiday, late May Bank Holiday, late August Bank Holiday, 25 December and 26 December * 140 on 1 January * 160 on Good Friday and the May Day Holiday * 200 on Easter Monday, the late May Bank Holiday and the late August Bank Holiday * 100 on 26 December * 200 on any other Bank Holiday which may be proclaimed (but up to 240 with the consent of the local planning authority) * 73,000 per calendar year In calculating the number of ATMs account is taken of the category of the aircraft and its noise factor - see the Noise Management pages. Thus, air transport movements by aircraft in: * Category A count as 1.26 ATMs * Category B count as 0.63 ATMs * Category C count as 0.31 ATMs * Category D count as 0.16 ATMs * Category E count as 0.08 ATMs These are called factored movements. The number of factored movements must not exceed 15% of the permitted number of movements in any one week or 73,000 per calendar year. Here are the noise factors of the most common aircraft using the Airport
Category	Types of Aircraft
A	BAe 146, Avro RJ85, Fokker 70, Falcon 10, DHC 6, Embraer 135*, Piper Navajo, cITATION ii & v AND THE cITATION bRAVO
B	ATR 42, Fokker 50, DHC-8 (100 & 300), Dornier 328, Saab 340, Piper Navajo 31, Piper Seneca 34, Beech 90 & B200, Mitsubishi MU2
C	Saab 2000, Shorts 360
D	Dornier 228, DHC-7
All aircraft must obtain approval in order to operate at the airport and must fit into the noise categories and be capable of making approaches at 5.5 degrees or steeper.

OPERATING QUOTA

August 2007 Note: The airport has applied to increase the number of permitted flights to 120,000 per year compared with around 81,000 in 2006.

The number of factored movements must not exceed 15% of the permitted number of movements in any one week or 73,000 per calendar year.

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS

Ground Running of Engines The ground running of aeroplane engines for testing or maintenance purposes is only permitted during the opening hours of the Airport. On Bank Holidays, however, ground running for these purposes may not start until 09.00 hours. The places where such running may take place, and the positioning of the aircraft and the noise protection measures to be adopted, are subject to the agreement of the local planning authority. The site currently approved for this purpose is located at the north-east corner of the apron adjoining the King George V Dock (see Annex D). But the Airport will be searching for alternatives and discussing them with the local planning authority. The noise from ground running, as measured at homes adjoining the Airport, must not exceed 60dB LAeqT.

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS

Will be implemented when new Noise Management Scheme goes into effect.

NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE SURCHARGE

A noise charge may be imposed for exceeding the noise level limits shown below. One Noise Unit is equivalent to 50% of the standard landing fee for the aircraft in violation.

NOISE LEVEL LIMITS

Permitted Aircraft
AIRCRAFT are not permitted to use the Airport unless they fit into one of the following categories:
Category	Noise Reference Level (PNdB)	Noise Factor
A	91.6 - 94.5	1.26
B	89.6 - 91.5	0.63
C	85.6 - 88.5	0.31
D	82.6 - 85.5	0.16
E	Less than 82.6	0.08
Aircraft new to the Airport are allocated a provisional category following monitored trial flights at the Airport. This has to be approved by the local planning authority. All flights from the Airport are monitored and the category of each aircraft type is reviewed annually (between March and May) in the light of data from the noise monitors. Depending on the results of the review the category allocated to an aircraft may be changed. The aircraft categories are linked to Noise Factors which are used in calculating the number of flights against the permitted numbers, i.e. noisier aircraft count as more than one movement while the quieter types count as less than one. Aircraft must also be capable of making an approach at 5.5 degrees or steeper - this compares with 3 degrees at most other airports. Helicopters and other vertical take off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, and aircraft with a single engine, are not permitted and flying for club or leisure purposes is prohibited.
