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.

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM

See UK AIP AD2-EGSS 2.21 for details and updates. 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 a height of not less than 1000 ft aal at 6.5 km from 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: Description OS Co-ordinates Elevation above Airport Latitude Longitude Adjustment dBA Site 11 Chickney Hall Villas Broxted TL 5743 2767 -15 m *515531N 0001718E minus 1.3 Site 10 Goodacres, Broxted TL 5758 2696 9 m *515508N 0001724E plus 0.2 Site 8 Anglian Water, Broxted TL 5772 2652 -16 m *515453N 0001730E minus 0.6 Site 9 Moor End Farm, Broxted TL 5819 2595 -16 m *515434N 0001754E minus 0.8 Site 3 Howe Green School, Great Hallingbury TL 5106 1874 -21 m *515048N 0001130E minus 1.0 Site 4 Thames Water, Bishop’s Stortford TL 5015 1965 -36 m *515119N 0001044E minus 1.4 Site 5 Woolcott Restaurant, Great Hallingbury TL 5035 1885 -26 m *515053N 0001053E minus 1.4 Site 6 Morley, Woodside Green TL 5155 1866 -26 m *515045N 0001155E minus 1.1 (3) Subject to sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) below, any aircraft shall, after take-off, be operated in such a way that it will not cause more than 94 dBA Lmax by day (from 0700 hours to 2300 hours local time) as measured at any noise monitoring terminal at any of the sites referred to in sub-paragraph (2) above. (4) Subject to sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) below, any aircraft shall, after take-off, be operated in such a way that it will not cause more than 89 dBA Lmax by night (from 2300 to 0700 hours local time) and, that it will not cause more than 87 dBA Lmax during the night quota period (from 2330 to 0600 hours local time) as measured at any noise monitoring terminal at any of the sites referred to in subparagraph (2) above. (5) The limits specified in sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) above shall be adjusted in accordance with the following table in respect of any noise monitoring terminal at any of the sites referred to in the table in sub-paragraph (2) above to take account of the location of that terminal and its ground elevation relative to the aerodrome elevation. (6) For the purpose of determining an infringement of the limits specified in sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) above, if the aircraft was required to takeoff with a tailwind, an amount of up to 2dB of the noise recorded at the noise monitor should be disregarded. The amount to be disregarded shall be: 0.4 dB for a tailwind of up to 1 knot 0.8 dB for a tailwind exceeding 1 knot but not exceeding 2 knots 1.2 dB for a tailwind exceeding 2 knots but not exceeding 3 knots 1.6 dB for a tailwind exceeding 3 knots but not exceeding 4 knots 2.0 dB for a tailwind exceeding 4 knots. For this purpose, tailwind is to be calculated from the wind data measured in the on-air field anemometers and wind vanes according to the formula: (windspeed x cosine (runway heading minus wind direction)) x – 1. (7) Where the aircraft is a jet aircraft, after passing the point referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above, it shall: (a) between the hours of 0600 and 2330 local time maintain a gradient of climb of not less than 4% to an altitude of not less than 3,000 ft. (b) between the hours of 2330 and 0600 local time maintain a gradient of climb of not less than 4% to an altitude of not less than 4,000 ft, unless it has been cleared via Barkway, in which case it shall maintain a gradient of climb of not less than 4% to an altitude of not less than 3000 ft. The aircraft shall be operated in such a way that progressively reducing noise levels at points on the ground under the flight path beyond that point are achieved.
