NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Landing on RWY 16: Maintain 217 degrees track inbound on LOC course. Do not deviate from ZAO R-230, which defines the northern limit for flights landing on RWY 16 due to noise abatement for Zhuhai City. ACFT according to ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 2 will only be considered in a case-bycase basis. For Chapter 2 Noise ACFT, operation time between 2400-0800LT is not allowed. Take-off on RWY 34: Climb offset 15 degrees (Right) to 400’, turn RIGHT. Do not overshoot ZAO R-230, which defines the northern limit for flights taking off on RWY 34 due to noise abatement for Zhuhai City.

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA) - NONE

AIRPORT CURFEWS - NONE

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS

The preferential RWY is RWY 34, within the limits of a wind intensity (actual and/or forecasted) of no more than 10 KT as tailwind component. If the tailwind component for RWY 34 is higher than 10 KT and the VIS or ceiling for RWY 16 are below minima for this RWY, no landings will be allowed unless specifically requested by the pilot.

OPERATING QUOTA - NONE

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS

Run-up Tests Engine runs above ground idle power are not permitted between 2200-0700LT. Exception may be considered case by case, depending on actual operational analyses. An engine ground run is defined as any engine start-up not associated with the planned aircraft departure. Maintenance or test running of jet engine not mounted on an aircraft is prohibited unless performed in a test cell of adequate design. Engine ground running at idle power for duration not exceeding 15 minutes may be conducted on aircraftparking bays with previous coordination with Airport Operation Coordination Center. Extension of such limitation is subject to Airport Operation Coordination Center approval depending on airport conditions. Power runs above idle for maintenance purpose must be conducted at designated areas. Initial requests for a ground run at any time should be made by telephone to Airport Operation Coordination Center. The airline or the engine tester is responsible for ensuring that all safety precautions against injury to persons or damage to properties, aircraft, vehicles, marine vessels (when the jet blast is directed towards the sea) and equipment in the vicinity are adopted. When ready to conduct the engine run, clearance from MACAO Ground on 121.72 MHz. A listening watch must be maintained on the frequency throughout the engine run. The aircraft anti-collision beacons must be activated for the entire duration and MACAO Ground should be advised on its completion.

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE SURCHARGE - NONE

NOISE MITIGATION/LAND USE PLANNING PROGRAM INFORMATION

6. ENVIRONMENT - NOISE IMPACT The Macau International Airport noise impact study has been done with the traffic forecast of the years 1996 and 2011. The contours of "equal noise exposure" are expressed in NEF (Noise Exposure Forecast indices). The NEF is an average EPN (Effective Perceived Noise) sound level over a 24-hour period, expressed in decibels. The percentage use of runway with a ten knot tailwind for runway 34 are: " Runway 16 : 12% " Runway 34 : 88% " Night movements (12 am to 7 am): 7% of the total movements (as at YTD Dec. 2007) The study shows that the aircraft noise has no serious impact on the airport area. Small eastern parts of Taipa and Coloane islands are concerned by a "moderate exposure" reference NEF 20 / 25) and allows the construction of household units, residential hotels, manufacturing, trade, services among others.

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM

Random monitoring has been made to evaluate the present noise impact and will continue in the future.

FLIGHT TRACK MONITORING SYSTEM - NONE

NOISE LEVEL LIMITS

Conforms with the relevant standards in respect of noise contained in Annex 16.

CHAPTER 2 RESTRICTIONS

Aircraft with ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 2 condition will only be considered on a case by case basis. Chapter 2 are not allowed to operate between 0000-0800 local time.

CHAPTER 2 PHASEOUT

The ICAO Resolution A28-3 in principle was not adopted for aircraft registered in Macau. Chapter 2 charter operations coming to Macau are only allowed on a case by case basis.

CHAPTER 3 RESTRICTIONS - NONE

COMMENTS

The runway and terminal being on an artificial island, the present noise level does not impose special operational procedures for take-off and landing. This situation will be repeatedly revised, according to the traffic growth.
