NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
Also check the AIP Poland at: http://www.ais.pansa.pl/aip/

Departure from RWY 15, 29 and RWY 33 shall be performed in accordance with the following procedure (procedure B, Doc 8168, "Aircraft Operations", Vol. 1):

Takeoff to 1000 ft AAL


Takeoff power
Takeoff flaps
Climb at V2 + (20 to 40) km/h
At 1000 ft AAL
Maintaining a positive rate of climb, accelerate to safe maneuvering speed (Vzf) retracting flaps on schedule, thereafter reduce thrust consistent with the following:
 

- for high-pass ratio engines to normal climb power/thrust

- for low by-pass ratio engines to below normal climb power/thrust but not less than that necessary to maintain the final takeoff engine out climb gradient.

- for aircraft with slow flap retracting reduce power/thrust at an intermediate flap setting

From 1000-3000 ft AAL Continue climb at not greater than Vzf + 20 km/h
At 3000 ft AAL Accelerate smoothly to en route climb speed.
Note: Aircraft such as supersonic aircraft not using wing flaps for takeoff should reduce thrust before attaining 1000 ft AAL but not lower than 500 ft AAL.
The following procedure is recommended for departures from RWY 11 (procedure A, Doc 8168, "Aircraft Operations", Vol. 1):
Takeoff to 1500 ft AAL


Takeoff power
Takeoff flaps
Climb at V2 + (20 to 40) km/h or as limited by body angle.
At 1500 ft AAL Reduce thrust to not less than climb power
At 1500-3000 ft AAL Climb at V2 + (20 to 40) km/h
At 3000 ft AAL

Accelerate smoothly to en route climb speed with flap retraction on schedule

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA) - NONE

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS

The following preferential runway system has been established for the airport:

Arrivals:
1. Rwy 33,
2. RWY 11,
3. RWY 15,
4. RWY 29.

Departures:
1. RWY 29,
2. RWY 15,
3. RWY 33,
4. RWY 11.

Between hours 20.00 - 04.00 (21.00 - 05.00 respectively in winter time) if atmospheric (and or technical) conditions permit, departures and arrivals at WARSZAWA/Okecie aerodrome will be performed on RWY 15/33. In order to maintain the lowest possible noise level it is highly recommended to avoid extensive reversal thrust and usage of full length of the runway after landing. Crews are requested to reduced take-off power by usage of full length of the runway respectively.

Noise abatement shall not be the determining factor in runway under several conditions. See AIP Poland AD-EPWA section 21. Noise Abatement Procedures, 1. Noise Preferential Runways for more information.

NOISE SURCHARGE
2/2006 AIP Poland and IATA Airport & Air Navigation Charges Manual

1. The noise charge is levied for the emission of noise by aircraft during take-off and landing operations performed at the airport, for the provision of services connected with the noise monitoring, the protection against aviation noise, and the prevention of noise impact on the environment.

2. The noise charge is levied for each landing of an aircraft at the airport from a customer performing a landing operation.

3. The noise charge rates differ depending on aircraft noise category and time of landing and take-off.

Note: According to the AIP Poland Gen. 4.1 - EPWA, noise levels for an aircraft may be provided in such documents as a noise certificate, flight manual or any other official document confirmed by a competent aviation authority of the state of aircraft registration.

Cumulative Noise Margin to determine the Noise Category - the figure obtained by adding the differences between the max permitted noise level and the noise level indicated in the noise certificate at each of the reference noise measurement points in ICAO Annex 16 Volume I, Part II Chapter 3.
Noise Category
Charge per tonne
0600-2159 hrs
2200-0559 hrs
1 - aircraft of maximum take-off weight up to 9 tonnes inclusive and aircraft of maximum take-off weight over 9 tonnes noise certified in accordance with ICAO Annex 16 Volume I Part II Chapter 3 and 5 of cumulated noise margin equal to 20 EPNdB or more. PLN 0.00 PLN 4.00
2 - aircraft of maximum take-off weight over 9 tonnes noise certified in accordance with ICAO Annex 16 Volume I Part II Chapter 3 and 5 of cumulated noise margin equal of 10 to 19.99 EPNdB. PLN 3.20 PLN 9.60
3 - aircraft of maximum take-off weight over 9 tonnes noise certified in accordance with ICAO Annex 16 Volume I Part II Chapter 3 and 5 of cumulated noise margin equal of 5 to 9.99 EPNdB. PLN 5.80 PLN 17.40
4 - aircraft of maximum take-off weight over 9 tonnes noise certified in accordance with ICAO Annex 16 Volume I Part II Chapter 3 and 5 of cumulated noise margin equal of 0 to 4.99 EPNdB. PLN 13.00 PLN 39.00
5 - Aircraft of maximum take-off weight over 9 tonnes certified in accordance with ICAO Annex 16 Volume I Part II Chapter 2 that do not meet the requirements set out in Chapter 3 and 5 thereof and no noise certified aircraft of maximum take-off weight over 9 tonnes. PLN 18.00 PLN 54.00
In the calculation of noise charge an aircraft landing is connected with the next following take-off operation of the same aircraft. If only one operation (a landing or take-off) is performed between 2200 and 0559 local time and the other related operation is performed between 0600 and 2159 local time, the noise charge for operations between 2200 and 0559 local time is 50% of the rate for noise category 1 and 67% of the rate for noise categories 2-5.

CHAPTER 2 RESTRICTIONS
Chapter 2 airplanes >75,000 lbs are banned from operating at airports in EU Member States as of April 1, 2002.

CHAPTER 2 PHASEOUT
As from May 2004 it is prohibited to perform flight operations at aerodromes situated in the territory of the Republic of Poland by airplanes not complying with the noise requirements prescribed according to the provisions of Chapter 3 of Annex 16, Volume I, Part II to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. )Legal basis" Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 19 May 2004 on the operation prohibition for aircraft not complying with the environmental protection requirements related to noise emissions (OJL No 103/1089, 01.05.2004) implementing Council Directive 92/14/EEC of 2 March 1992 on the limitation of operation of aero planes covered by Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (OJ EC No L 76, 23.03.1992))

The prohibition applies to all civil subsonic jet aero planes, performing flight operations to/from the Republic of Poland, with a maximum take0off mass of 34,000 kg or more or with a maximum internal accommodation, according to the airplane type certificate, consisting of more than 19 passenger seats, excluding any seats for crew only.

This prohibition does not apply to aero planes entered on EU Member States registers after 1 November 1990.

Pursuant to Article 5 (1) of the a/a/m/ Regulation the President of the Civil Aviation Office may issue a permit to perform temporary flight operation from/to the Republic of Poland by an aero plane certificated under Chapter 2 if:

1) flight operations performed with the aero plane in question do not justify, due to their exceptional nature, the applying of the flight prohibition to that particular aero plane (e.g. rescue flights, humanitarian aid fights);

2) the aero plane performs non-revenue flights for the purpose of alterations, repair or maintenance thereof.

In such cases the carrier may apply to the CAO President for an appropriate permit, submitting the following data:

- airplane type and identification marks
- type of operations, substantiating their exceptional nature
- name of Polish airport to which the flights are going to be performed
- period of validity of the permit to be issued
- planned landing and take-off times.

These operations are allowed to be performed exclusively at airports, where aircraft noise is not burdensome to the local community and not during night hours.

CHAPTER 3 RESTRICTIONS - NONE
