NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

See AIP Netherlands EHAM AD2.21 for details.

The following departure and arrival procedures have proved to be highly efficient in respect of noise abatement in the vicinity of the airport. Except for safety reasons or otherwise instructed by ATC, aircraft shall adhere to these procedures.

Departure

The procedure for jet airplanes is the ICAO Take-off and climb procedure A

To 1500 ft AMSL a. Take-off power
b. Speed: V2 + 10 to 20 KT (or as limited by body angle)
c. Appropriate flap setting
1500 ft to 3000 ft AMSL a. Climb power
b. Speed: V2 + 10 to 20 KT
c. Maintain previous flap setting
After passing 3000 ft AMSL a. Retract flaps on schedule
b. En route climb
3000ft AMSL to FL 100 MAX 250 KT IAS
Note: operators/aircraft types not able to comply with the above take-off procedures are requested to inform the airport authority by sending copies of the take-off procedure in use to:

Minimum noise routing

The standard instrument departure routes avoid residential areas as much as possible and must be considered minimum noise routes.

Arrivals (all airplanes)
For RWY 06 and RWY 18R RNAV low-noise procedures for jet aircraft will be used between 2200-0500(2100-0400), otherwise aircraft will be radar vectored towards interception of final leg at 3000 ft AMSL.

Reduced Flaps
For noise abatement using a reduced flaps landing procedure is recommended. However, use of this procedure is subject to the captian's decision and safety prevails at all time.

AIRPORT CURFEWS
Operational Restrictions at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

As of March 25, 2001 (start of summer season 2001), the operational restrictions as specified below will be effective:

1. Aircraft which are certified in accordance with the noise standards of ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 2:

- Take-off and landing is not allowed

2. Aircraft which are certified in accordance with the noise standards of ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3, for which the margin of the sum of the three certification noise levels, relative to the sum of the three applicable ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3 certification noise limits, is less than 5 EPNdB:

- For aircraft equipped with engines with bypass ratio <= 3, new operations are not allowed.

- For aircraft equipped with engines with bypass ratio <= 3, takeoff and landing is not allowed between 17:00 and 07:00 (1600-0600).

- For aircraft equipped with engines with bypass ratio > 3, it is not allowed to plan take-offs between 22:00 and 05:00 (2100-0400).

3. Aircraft which are certified in accordance with the noise standards of ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3, for which the margin of the sum of the three certification noise levels, relative to the sum of the three applicable ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3 certification noise limits, is 5 EPNdB or more

- No restrictions.


REDUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL BURDEN
In order to reduce the environmental burden, arriving aircraft equipped with 3 or 4 engines should taxi from the landing runway to the gate with one engine switched off. Pilots may deviate from this restriction, if the procedure is considered an unsafe operation or would hinder the normal operation of the aircraft.

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS

See AIP Netherlands EHAM AD2.21 for details.

The runways in use at Schiphol Airport will be selected by ATC according to a preferential runway system. This system is based on the following principles:

- traffic safety prevails at all times
- departure and landing will normally take place on separate runways
- preferably a runway equipped with ILS will be selected for landing
- the preferential sequence for selecting runways in use depends on the combination of noise influences and traffic handling
- the wind, visibility and cloud base criteria are directives for the selection of the runway combinations from the preferential sequence. These directives are in accordance with the guidance material laid down in Annex 16 ICAO (Aircraft noise).
- deviations form an assigned runway in order to obtain a shorter taxi route, departure or approach pattern are not permitted.

Due to noise abatement procedures, the use of a non-preferential runway for takeoff and landing is not permitted unless specifically requested for safety reasons by the pilot.

However, if a pilot decides that a different landing runway should be used for safety reasons, ATC will assign that runway (air traffic and other conditions permitting). Deviations from the preferential sequence for selecting runways in use can be made by ATC.

- when approach facilities on the selected runway are not suitable for operations in the prevailing weather

- when crosswind components do not meet the given limits for any runway combination

- when braking action on the runways is below certain standards

- when heavy showers are observed or wind shear reported in the vicinity of the airport

The preferential sequence for selecting runways in use

The preferential sequence for selecting runways in use is being determined by the Airport Authority in close co-operation with ATC. This preferential sequences is subject to noise load developments. Therefore the preferential sequence for selecting runways may change in any given period.

Runway availability

1. Runway 18R is not available for departures and Runway 36L is not available for arrivals

2. From 2200-0500 (2100-0400) Runway 36C is not available for departures and Runway18C is not available for arrivals

3. Runway 36R is not available for departures and Runway 18L is not available for arrivals.

4. From 2200-0500 (2100-0400) Runway09/27 is not available for departures or arrivals

5. From 2200-0500 (2100-0400) Runway 24 is not available for arrivals

6. From 2200-0500 (2100-0400) Runway 04/22 is not available for departures or arrivals

7. From 2200-0500 (2100-0400) Runway 18L is not available for departures

8. From 2200-0500 (2100-0400) Runway 36R is not available for arrivals.

Deviations from the restrictions for arrivals on Runways 18C, 18L, 09/27, 24 and 36R shall be made if no other runway is available or usable.

Deviations from the restrictions shall be made if necessary for rescue or relief (e.g. emergency) operations.

Reverse Thrust
During daytime 0600-2200 (0500-2100); After landing, the use of idle reverse thrust is advised on all runways except 04/22, safety permitting. To achieve the highest possible runway capacity, runway occupancy times are to be reduced to a minimum.

During nighttime 2200-0600 (2100-0500): After landing, reverse thrust above idle shall not be used on any runway, safety permitting.

OPERATING QUOTA
In the year 2001 there was a maximum of 440,000 commercial air traffic movements and in the year 2002 a maximum of 460,000 commercial air traffic movements was allowed. In 2003 these operating quota for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol have been replaced by another system with no specific limit on the annual number of movements but a total noise volume (TVG) for Lden and Lnight, and maximum noise levels in 35 enforcement points Lden and 25 points Lnight. Actual maximum (night) capacity is dependent of actual scenario.

Due to environmental constraints Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has a limited number of slots during the night period. Airlines are not allowed to operate between 2200-0600 (2100-0500) without a slot applicable to this period.

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS
1. Engine test running is only allowed on dedicated locations.

2. From 2200 – 0600 (2100 – 0500) reverse thrust above idle shall not be used safety permitting

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS
In order to reduce the environmental and noise burden, aircraft are urgently requested not to use APU at Schiphol Airport. Use can instead be made of external power supplies, i.e. 400 Hz or GPU. If absolutely necessary, APU may be used during the period needed to cool or heat the cabin. Where necessary, it may also be used for aircraft systems.

NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS
In order to guarantee that the total annual noise load around Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will not exceed the legal limits the airport is fully coordinated. This means that in order to operate a slot is needed from the Slot coordinator. Slot coordination is meant to provide a neutral, transparent and nondiscriminatory system for allocating the available noise capacity within the legal noise limits. The initially declared capacity for Winter season 2005/2006 is 180.000 and for the Summer season 2006 270,000 movements. The slot coordinator should stimulate airlines to operate into Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with quieter aircraft when allocating the slots to the airlines. However, no specific noise budget per airline is into place at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol this moment with regard to the slot allocation process.

NOISE SURCHARGES
Note: There are two noise charges in effect at the airport - one charged by the airport and the other by the government. Shown directly below is that airport's noise charge and listed after this is a link to the government noise charges.
