AIRPORT CURFEWS

NOTE: Following an extensive consultation about proposed changes to the Night Flying Restrictions at London Airports (the "QC system"), the UK Secretary of State, Department for Transport has taken the following main decisions. They are applicable from 30 October 2006: - The QC system as such has proven efficient and will be retained. The noise certification levels remain the basis for the QC classification. - The definition of night (23:00 to 07:00) and night quota period (23:30 to 6:00) are maintained. - The 9 EPNdB adjustment for arrivals is maintained. - The exempt category is no longer determined by weight, but by noise levels (aircraft below 84 EPNdB are exempt from night restrictions). - A new QC/0.25 band will be created (84 to 86.9 EPNdB). Aircraft in this category account for 0.25 in the overall night quota (around 30 at LHR). - QC/4 classified aircraft are subject to a scheduling ban within the night quota period (23:30 to 6:00). This is not an operating ban and would permit aircraft movements within this period exceptionally, when aircraft are severely delayed. Furthermore, the objective is to progressively encourage the use of quieter aircraft (day and night for LHR and LGW; night only for Stansted), i .e. a progressive decrease in the overall night quota per season over the next years.

Chapter 3 Minus Charge

The Chapter 3 minus charge applies to aircraft over 16 tonnes with QC values on both arrival and departure of 0.5, 1.0 or are exempt, as described under Section 2 of the Noise Restriction Notice, currently published as a supplement to the UK AIP by the Civil Aviation Authority.

Chapter 3 High Charge

The Chapter 3 high charge applies to those Chapter 3 aircraft whose overall noise performance is less than 5EPNdB below Chapter 3 certification limits.

Comments from the airport on the three levels Chapter 3 landing fees: The "base" charge is Chapter 3 as it has been for some years, and the 10% reduction continues for those of the lower QC categories (the so-called "Chapter 3 minus" ones) The new element is a "Chapter 3 "high" category which is an extra 10% for those aircraft whose certificated noise levels are within 5 EPNdB of the cumulative chapter 3 limit for that weight. There was a consultation carried out on this in 1999 with airlines.

This notice may be cited as the Stansted Airport - London (Noise Abatement Requirements) Notice 2005 and shall come into operation on 14 April 2005 2. The Stansted Airport - London (Noise Abatement Requirements) Notice 2004 (d) is hereby revoked. 3. It shall be the duty of every person who is the operator of any aircraft which is to take off or land at Stansted Airport - London to secure that, after the aircraft takes off or, as the case may be before it lands at the aerodrome, the following requirements are complied with: 1) After take off the aircraft shall be operated in such a way that it is at the height of not less than 1000 ft aal at 6.5 km from the start of roll as measured along the departure track of that aircraft. 2) The sites of the noise monitoring terminals relating to Stansted Airport - London are:
