RUNWAY INFORMATION Orientation Length(m) Displaced Threshold(m) Glide Slope(deg) Width(m) 02/20 2893 - - 60 NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES 1. All aircraft inbound and outbound from the airport are required to conform to the following procedures however, these may be departed from at any time when necessary to avoid immediate danger. a. Every operator of aircraft using the airport shall ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the airport. b. Unless otherwise authorized by ATC aircraft using the ILS in IMC and VMC shall not descend below 2000ft before intercepting the glide path, nor thereafter fly below it. An aircraft approaching without assistance from ILS or radar shall follow a descent path which will not result in its being at any time lower than the approach path which would be followed by an aircraft using the ILS glide path. c. NPRs shall not apply to aircraft whose MTOW (as stated in the certificate of airworthiness) is less than 5700 kg. d. Jet aircraft failing to meet certification noise levels appropriate to ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3 will not be permitted to land. 2. Arrivals: Subject to ATC instructions, inbound aircraft are to maintain as high an altitude as practical and adopt a continuous descent profile when appropriate. ATC will advise pilots of an estimate of the track distance to run to touchdown as soon as possible after first call on the approach frequency. 3. Departures: a. Noise Preferential Routings given below are compatible with ATC requirements and shall apply in both VCM and IMC. The tracks are to be flown by all departing jet aircraft and by all other departing aircraft of more than 5700 kg MTWA unless otherwise instructed by ATC or unless deviations are required in the interest of safety. (See UK AIP EGCN AD2.20 paragraph 4 and outbound routes AD2.22 paragraph 3). Departing Runway Direction Route 20 East Straight ahead to 500ft aal or l-FNL D0.5 whichever the later, then turn left on track 190. At l-FNL D2.5 turn left to establish on the GAM 017 radial northbound. At GAM R017 turn onto required track South Straight ahead to 500ft aal or l-FNL D0.5 whichever the later, then turn right on track 210. At l-FNL D1.5 turn direct to GAM VOR (approx. track 159). At GAM D4 inbound turn to establish on TNT R062. West Straight ahead to 500ft aal or l-FNL D0.5 whichever the later, then turn right on track 210. At l-FNL D1.5 turn right on to track 250. On crossing GAM R328 turn right to establish onto GAM R325 or onto required track. 02 West Straight ahead to 500ft aal or l-FNL D0.5 whichever the later, then turnleft onto track 360. At l-FNL D1.5 turn left direct to GOLES. East Straight ahead to 500ft aal or FNL D0.5 whichever the later, turn left onto track 360. At 3000ft turn onto required track. If below 300 ft at I-FNL D3 turn right on to track 080 degrees until passing 3000 ft. b. Upon passing 3000 ft aircraft may be directed from these tracks to facilitate the integration traffic. c. On take-off from Runway 20, pilots should take care to avoid over flying the village of Bawtry, Austerfield and Harworth-Bircotes d. On take-off from Runway 02 aircraft make a minor track adjustment to the left to track north to minimize the effect to the villages of Blaxton and Finningley e. Aircraft operators shall instigate their aircraft manufacturers noise abatement procedures on departure and up to FL 100 or implement the procedures listed below i. Take-off to 1500 feet QNH Power - Normal Take Off Speed V2+10kt(+) ii. Take-off to 1500-3000 feet QNH Power - Reduce to climb thrust Speed V2+10kt(+) Note: Speed may be higher than V2+10kt(+) due to aircraft performance or pitch angle f. No turns below 500 ft aal g. NPR's after departure do not apply to helicopters above 500 ft. 4. Thrust Reverse: Pilots are requested to avoid the use of reverse thrust or reverse pitch above idle power settings on landing, consistent with the safe operation of the aircraft between the hours of 2300-0700 local time. AIRPORT CURFEWS 7. Night Operations The airport operates and manages a Night Noise Quota System which is based on the Supplement to the UK AIP, pertaining to the Airport Noise Restrictions Notice for London Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted. The quota count value for the take-off and landing by individual aircraft types is shown in the Annex to the Supplement. a. The night restriction period is between 2300-0700 local time with the quota period being between 2300-0600 local time. b. Operators must supply information appertaining to the noise characteristics (aircraft type, engine type, operating weight and maximum certified landing or take-off weight as appropriate) and quota count for all non-exempt aircraft using the airport to Apron Control (tel +44 (0) 1302-625021 as part of the PPR request process. c. Quota Count Restrictions i. 2300-0700 - Aircraft with quota count of QC/4, QC/8 and QC/16 must not be scheduled to take-off or land. Certain exemptions (including emergencies) apply, contact the Noise Manager for a full list of exemptions PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS The airport has a preferred runway policy which is in effect at all times subject to the safety requirements, ATC requirements, weather conditions, approach aid limitations and aircraft performance. The preferred approach runway is Runway 20 and the preferred departure runway is Runway 02 however, these requirements may be departed from to the extent necessary for operational reasons. In this case, the runway to be used shall be at the discretion of the aircraft commander provided that the preferred runway procedures are not violated for reasons of expediency. OPERATING QUOTA Yes - see information under Airport Curfew ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS 5. Engine Run-up: Test running of aircraft engines shall be restricted to the screened engine test area designated for the purpose unless for essential operational reasons the test must be carried out elsewhere on the maneuvering area. Aircraft engine testing will not be approved between 2300-0700 local time unless an aircraft is urgently required to provide an operational service. APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS Use of APU shall be limited as much as possible. The use of APU equipment at night is discouraged. APUs should be shut down 5 minutes after arrival on stand and are not to be restarted more than 30 minutes prior to departure from the stand.
