NOISE SURCHARGE

1/23/08 Updated per AIP Czech Republic GEN 4.1

4.1.1.3 Noise Charges - Prague/Ruzyne Airport

4.1.1.3.1 Basis for calculation of noise charge is the MTOW of the aircraft (according to the certificate of airworthiness), or noise certificate. Noise chargs is applied only to the aircraft with MTOW over 9 tons.

4.1.1.3.2 Aircraft are assigned to the noise category according to the following criteria related to the limits of ICAO Annex 16/1 Part II:

4.1.1.3.2.1 Aircraft certified according to Chapter 3, 5 or 2-2.4.2.

The difference are calculated by subtraction of noise level values given in noise certificate from noise limit according to the appropriate Chapter of Part II of ICAO Annex 16/1. Aircraft is included into respective noise category according to the accrued difference in accordance with Chapter 4. In the case, that in some point the noise level is over the limit of the appropriate Chapter of Part II of ICAO Annex 16/1, aircraft is included into next higher noise category.

New Category 1 the accured difference of 15 EPNdB or more
New Category 2 the accured difference from 10 - 14.9 5 EPNdB
New Category 3 the accured difference from 5 - 9.9 EPNdB
New Category 4 the accured difference from 0-4.9 EPNdB
New Category 5

the accured difference less than 0 EPNdB or non-certificated aircraft or aircraft certified according to Chapter 2 - 2.4.1
*Rate per tonne (including tonne initiated) of the maximum take-off weight:
  Old Charge 1/2007
Category 1 CZK 12.70 per tonne 5.70 per tonne
Category 2 CZK 25.40 per tonne 11.40 per tonne
Category 3 CZK 63.50 per tonne 28.50 per tonne
Category 4 CZK 127.00 per tonne

57.00 per tonne

Category 5   114.00 per tonne
4.1.1.3.4 Flight of an aircraft included in category 3, 4 or 5 in the period from 2100 (2000) to 0500 (0400) will be charged three times the rate for the given noise category.

4.1.1.3.5 If the aircraft operator does not submit the data needed for calculation of noise category (noise certificate etc.) in written form to the aerodrome operator (Datamanagement department) before aircraft departure at the latest (if it is not stipulated otherwise), the aircraft will be classified as category 5.
