NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

General: - The following regulations are defined to avoid excessive noise at and in the vicinity of Lugano airport. - Operators unable to comply with these rules and procedures shall submit for approval to the airport authority those procedures they intend to apply. - All aircraft types to be used for regular services at Lugano airport will be subject to an individual noise qualification prior to receiving operating rights. - In particular cases, the airport authority can issue differing procedures and rules for the noise abatement. Aircraft not admitted unless a special authorization: The following aircraft types are not admitted to operate at Lugano airport unless a special authorization has been issued by the airport authority. The request for special authorization must be filed at least 24 hours before the intended arrival. Jet aeroplanes: see AIP(Swiss Aeronautical Information Publication) GEN 4.1 APP A, class I-II-III-IV . Propeller aeroplanes: see AIP(Swiss Aeronautical Information Publication) Vol 1, GEN 4.1 APP B class A and the following aeroplanes of class B: - BE-55 Beech Baron 55 - C210 Cessna 210 Centurion Helicopters: - Bell 204 - Bell 214 - Kamow Circling Foxtrot procedure RWY 19: The Circling Foxtrot procedure is the preferential maneuver for noise abatement purposes when landing on runway 19. Follow the published instrument approach to RWY 01 if visual contact is established at D1.5 ILU continue to D1.0 ILU then turn right on track 035 degrees, and if ceiling and visibility permit maintain 3500 ft for noise abatement purposes (3100 ft procedure NMN) until D3.2 ILU. At D3.2 ILU start left turn towards base, leave 2500 ft not before turning towards the final RWY 19. Reverse Thrust: For deceleration it is recommended to use entire RWY LEN AVBL; use of reverse thrust shall be limited for safety or particular operational reasons. Taxi and holding: Aeroplanes shall be operated so as to reduce noise to a minimum during taxi and holding operations. Recommendations for turboprop aeroplanes: - taxi; one engine idle power/low RPM - holding; both engines idle power/low RPM Start-up Start-up shall be requested to TWR FREQ 122.55 Mhz or other assigned FRRQ for IFR, SVFR and NVFR aeroplanes and helicopters. Do not start before aircraft is ready to leave parking position in order to minimize ground noise.

NOISE SURCHARGE

Landing charges based on acoustic emissions: Obligation - For every approach to the runway of the airport with subsequent landing the owner of the aircraft is obliged to pay a charge which is based on the noise class of the aircraft. New and modified aircraft - The operator is allowed to justify a more advantageous classification for this airplane within 60 days from the implementation of the charge. As far as the proofs necessary for a new classification are presented within the required time, the excess charges will be refunded. Jet aircraft Noise Classes: Aircraft equipped with jet engines are assigned to 5 noise classes (IV) according to the official measurements carried out at the airport of Zurich. The following is the list of noise classes provided by Zurich Airport. For classification, the difference between the energetic mean value of the noise level of an aircraft type measured at the measurement points in the residential areas in the vicinity of the airport and the energetic mean value of the noise level measured for all types it used. Aircraft Class (CHF) 1(*) 800 2 400 3 200 4 100 5 No charge Basis: Aircraft classification as determined by the energetic mean value of the noise level of the aircraft type. Class Calculation 1 mean value > overall mean value + 4.5 dB(A) 2 mean value < or = overall mean value + 4.5 dB(A) or > overall mean value + 1.5 dB(A) 3 mean value < or = overall mean value + 1.5 dB(A) or > or = overall mean value - 1.5 dB(A) 4 mean value < overall mean value - 1.5 dB(A) or > or = overall mean value - 4.5 dB(A) 5 mean value < overall mean value - 4.5 dB(A) Classification for Jet Aircraft Class Aircraft Type 1 -707 -100B/-300B/-300C DC-9 -4 ADV (JT8D-15) B-720B DC-9 -50/-34 B-727 -100/200 Fokker F-28 1-6000 B-727 -200 ADV (JT8D-15/17) IL-62/M B-737 -100/-200 IL-76 M/T/D/TD B-737 -200 ADV (JT8D-15/17) IL-86 B-747 SP SE-210 10B/10R/11R/12 B-747 -300 SUD TU-134 /A BAC 1-11 200/300/400/400/539 TU-154 /A/B/B1/B2 DC-8 -50/-61/-62/-63 Gulfstream II DC-9 -40 (JT8D-11) HS-125 -400/-600 (RR Viper) 2 B-737 -200 ADV/Mixer MD-80/-81/-82/-83 B-737 -200 ADV/Hushkit DC-10 -30ER B-747 -400 MD11 DC-9 -10/-20 Hushkit YAK-42 DC-9 -20/-30 Gulfstream III 3 Airbus A-300 /B2/B4 DC-10 -10/-30/-40 Airbus A300 -600 L-10ll 1-100/-200/-500 Airbus A310 -300 TU-154M (Soloviev D-30) Airbus A340 -200/-300 Fokker VFW-614 B-767 -200/-300 Morane MS-760 DC-8 -70 Piaggio PD-808 DC-9 -40 Hushkit(JT8D-11) YAK-40 4 Airbus A-310 -200 Cessna C650 Citation III Airbus A-321 Falcon -20/-50/-900 Airbus A-330 -200/-300 Falcon 200 Mystere B-777 -200/-300 Jetstar L-1329/II(TFE 731) MD87 Sabreliner NA265 65-80(TFE) IL-96 -300 Westwind IAI-1124/-1125/AJ25(TFE) 5 Airbus A-319 TU-204 Airbus A-320 -100/-200 TU-330 Freighter Antonov AN218 -200/-300 YAK-242 Avro RJ -70/-85/-100 Canadair CL-600(ALF 502)/CL-601(GE-CF) B-737 -300 to -800 Cessna C500/C525/C550/C560 B-757 -200 Corvette SN-601 -100 BAE BA-146 -100/-200 Falcon -10/-2000 Canadair RJ1-ER Gulfstream IV MD90 HS-125 -400 to -1000 Embraer EMB-145 Learjet LR -30/-50/-60 Fokker F70/F100 Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond 1/BE40 Note: For landings on Saturday, Sundays and local holidays the landing charges based on noise are increased by 50% for all aircraft.

NOISE LEVEL LIMITS

The Swiss government agreed to place new noise limits on the country's largest airports. The decision by the Swiss Federal Council closes a loophole in existing legislation. In December 1986 the government adopted the Ordinance on Noise Abatement, which set noise limit values for road and rail traffic but not for aircraft noise. The new restrictions will apply to Zurich-Kloten, Geneva-Contain, Lugano and Bern. The new measure limits noise levels to a maximum of 65 decibels on the average in areas where residential housing, small businesses, and farms are located. A daily average of 70 decibels is fixed for industry areas near the affected airports. The maximum average for residential areas will be lowered to 57 decibels between the hours of 10pm-12am and 5am-6am. A ban on flights by particularly loud aircraft also will apply during these hours. A formal ban on flights between 12am and 5am will also be introduced for Zurich and Geneva; Lugano and Bern will have flights banned from 11pm to 6 am. A night-flight ban already exists in Switzerland via concession agreements with the airports, but not through any legislative act. All aircraft types to be used for regular services at Lugano airport will be subject to an individual noise qualification prior to receiving operating rights.

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 Chapter 2 airplanes >75,000 lbs are ban from operating at airports in EU Member States as of April 1, 2002.n 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, the contents of this Ordinance is translated as follows: Article 1 Principle Subsonic jet aircraft which are not certificated according to the standards of Chapter 3 (of ICAO Annex 16) may not operate at Swiss airports after 1 April 1995, except for those defined in Article 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 Ordinance will come into force on 15 March 1994
