NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

C. Noise Abatement Procedures (General)

a. Reverse Thrust
Consistent with safety of operations and in consideration of High Intensity Runway Operations, pilots should minimize the use of reverse thrust.

b. 0700-2300 local time
Except in emergencies, Noise Abatement Procedures, 1 and 2 below apply to all turbo-jet and turbo-fan powered aircraft.

1. Departure Procedure:

a) VNAP A or B is required for all runways as listed in Canada Air Pilot - General Information Section

b) SID routing shall be followed to 3600' ASL. For runway 33R, no unauthorized turns prior to MALTN INTXN.

Note: SID cancellation does not terminate Noise Abatement Procedures.

c) Do not exceed 250 knots until above 10,000 feet ASL, unless otherwise authorized by ATC.

d)Early Turn - Rwys 05, 06L, 06R, 23, 24L, 24R departures: Applies only to the following jet aircraft types - CRJ2, CRJ2, E135, E145, E45X, J328, CL60, C750, GLEX, GLF4, GLF5. Commence turn assigned at take-off at 1100' AMSL.

2. Arrival Procedures:
Consistent with safety, crews shall minimize approach noise. For all approaches including visual approaches:

a) Maintain 3000' ASL or above until intercepting Final Approach Course and;

b) Intercept final approach course at or outside Final Approach Fix, then;

c) Remain on or above glide slope or assume 3 degree glide slope.

c. 2301-0659 local time

1. Procedures:

a) Procedures "D1 b) and c), and D2" apply to all aircraft.

b) Departure procedure "d1 a)" applies to turbo-jet and turbo-fan powered aircraft only.

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA)
Per NAV Canadia:
In Canada we have 20 airports with RNAV STARS which are basically constant descent arrivals into the terminal areas (from assigned FL to below 5000’). Depending on the traffic, there would be no restrictions until landing.

At our major and secondary airports, CDAs are used at all times for descent to the terminal (from assigned FL to below 10,000 and below – The constant descent is then revised by ATC depending on traffic, metering requirements, aircraft equipage).

At most secondary airports and tertiary airports, aircraft are cleared for the approach. This is basically a CDA controlled by the pilot until landing, unless ATC needs to apply a restriction (level off) due to inbound/outbound IFR traffic (assuming no surveillance capability).

AIRPORT CURFEWS

Note: There are fines for aircraft that do not comply with the noise abatement procedures and operating restrictions. The Airport Enforcement Office recommends an assessment of the penalties to Transport Canada which is responsible for assessing fines.

SUBJECT: TORONTO PEARSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
NIGHT FLIGHT RESTRICTION PROGRAM
SUMMER 2007 (MARCH 25, 2007 - OCTOBER 27, 2007)
WINTER 2007 (OCTOBER 28,2007 - MARCH 29, 2008)

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) is required to develop and maintain a comprehensive aircraft noise mitigation program and to manage the number of flights during the night restricted hours.

Effective June 10,2004, the Toronto Pearson International Airport's Noise Operating Restrictions were amended and the night restrictions now apply to all aircraft. The Summer and Winter 2007 Night Flight Restriction Programs are outlined in the attached summary.

To ensure that the number of flights during the restricted hours remains proportionate to overall traffic levels, limits have been placed on the total number of flights which may occur between 0030 and 0630 L, in any year. The GTAA will not exceed the established limit and will carefully manage
the number of flights within the restricted hours.

All aircraft not operating on a scheduled and repetitive basis are required to request and be granted permission to operate during the restricted hours by contacting the Airport Duty Manager on the day of operation at (416) 776-3030.

All aircraft operations are monitored for compliance with night flight restrictions, preferential runway use and noise abatement procedures (publisbed in the Canada Air Pilot). Please contact the Noise Management office at (416) 776-4556 for any clarification of requirements.

TORONTO PEARSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
NIGHT FLIGHT RESTRICTION PROGRAM - SUMMER & WINTER 2007
(APPLICABLE TO ALL AIRCRAFT)

1. EFFECTIVE PERIOD:
MARCH 25, 2007- OCTOBER 27, 2007 (SUMMER)
OCTOBER 28, 2007 - MARCH 29, 2008 (WINTER)

2. RESTRICTIONS (as published in the CANADA AIR PILOT & CANADA FLIGHT SUPPLEMENT)

a) Subject to paragraph 2b) or 2c), arrivals and departures of all aircraft are restricted as per the table below:

Aircraft
Restricted Hours - Local Time
Noise certification or type Arrivals & Departures
All non-noise certificated jet aircraft 2000-0800
All ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 2 & equivalent aircraft 0000-0700
All ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3& equivalent aircraft 0030-0630
All other aircraft 0030-0630

b) All aircraft operating on a scheduled and repetitive basis are required to obtain an exemption (Section 4) or an extension (Section 5) to operate during the restricted hours.

c) All other operators are required to obtain permission to operate during the restricted hours by contacting the Airport Duty Manager on the day of operation at (416) 776-3030.

d) Maintenance power run-ups are prohibited between 0000-0700 L unless authorized by the Airport Duty Manager at (416) 776-3030.

e) Training flights are not permitted in the Toronto Control Zone except initial departure to or final arrival from other locations from 0000-0700 L.

As of April 1,2002, all jet aircraft over 34,000-kg must be Chapter 3 compliant to operate in Canada. Transport Canada has granted exemptions to some northern operators of Chapter 2 jets for maintenance requirements at Toronto Pearson;
however, they must operate only between 0700-2359 L.

3. SHOULDER PERIOD OPERATIONS (scheduled within restricted hours: 0030-0100 & 0600-0629 L)

In order to ensure that the number of flights within the restricted hours will remain within the established limit over the entire year, there will be strict control of shoulder period operations with preference given to those operators who qualify for historical precedence. Only the following quieter Chapter 3 aircraft will be permitted to be scheduled in the shoulder period:

A300/A310/A318/A319/A320/A3211A330/A340; BAEI46; B71 7-200; B737-300/400/500/600/700/800/900; B757; B767; B777; DC8-70; FlOO; CRJl/CRJ2/CRJ7/CRJ9; EI35/EI45/EI70/EI90; MD80 and MD90.

These aircraft will be granted slots so as not to exceed single arrival runway or single departure runway capacity.

4. EXEMPTION OPERATIONS
A limited number of exemptions for Chapter 3 or equivalent operations may be approved in advance conditional on the GTAA's ability to remain within the total number of flights agreed on with Transport Canada. Exemption requests should be addressed to the Senior Manager, Facility Allocation (Fax (416) 776-3483) and must be submitted 30 days in advance of the planned operation. Information regarding exemption criteria may be obtained from Slot and Facility Allocation at (416) 776-3548. An air carrier's history of compliance with exemption times and frequency of extension requests will be considered in evaluating exemption requests.

NOTES:
a) Shoulder period and exemption operations are allocated by GT AA Slot and Facility Allocation. Submit slot requests to Airport Coordination Canada Limited (ACCL) at (905) 673-6380 (fax. (905) 673-9892) or Teletype YYZSCAC, YYZTMCR. ACCL will in turn remit the slot requests to the GT AA for consideration.

b) Operations delayed beyond approved slot times will require an operating extension.

5. OPERATING EXTENSIONS
All requests for extensions will require thorough justification and be subject to careful scrutiny. Extensions may be granted on the day of operation onlv for delays caused by weather, mechanical, security, or ATC problems. Contact the Airport Duty Manager at (416) 776-3030 (fax. (416) 776-5615) to request an approval to operate within the following periods:

0030-0200 L - Departure delays ofB747, DCIO, LIOII, MD80 aircraft and all aircraft hushkitted to Chapter 3 noise certification.

0030-0300 L - Arrival delays of all Chapter 3 aircraft and departure delays of Chapter 3 aircraft other than B747, DC1O, L1O11, MD80 and hushkitted Chapter 3 types.

NOTE: Non-noise certificated, Chapter 2 and equivalent aircraft will not be granted operating extensions.

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS
Preferential runway assignment (0000-0630 local time)

Consistent with operational safety (ie. wind, weather, runway condition, approach aid availability, etc.) ATC will assign runways in the following order of priority.

Arrivals: 1. 05
2. 15L
3. 06R
Departures: 1. 23
2. 33R
3. 24L

OPERATING QUOTA
Airport is currently operating at 84 movements/hour.

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS

c. Engine Run-ups

Between 0000-0700 local time, maintenance run-ups are prohibited unless authorized by the Airport Operations Duty Manager (905 676 3030).

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS - NONE

NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS
As a condition of the transfer of Lester B. Pearson International Airport (LBPIA) to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) on December 2, 1996, the GTAA is required to adopt the same Noise Mitigation Procedures for LBPIA as practiced by Transport Canada immediately prior to transfer. An agreement was reached with Transport Canada limiting the total number of flights operating during the Night Restricted Hours (0030-0630) in any calendar year to ensure that total flights during the restricted hours do not increase more than the overall passenger traffic. The limit is based on the percentage yearly increase of passenger traffic from the previous year.

While the GTTA is not able to change the Noise Operating Restrictions at LBPIA without the approval of Transport Canada, it does have the authority to grant extensions and exemptions on the same basis as practiced by Transport Canada prior to the transfer. Because the GTAA must not exceed the limits on flights during the restricted hours it must very carefully manage the number of extensions and exemptions granted.

COMMENTS
GTAA Noise Management Policy

In keeping with its commitment to operate LBPIA in a manner that maintains and promotes LBPIA as an economic asset for the region with sensitivity to surrounding communities, the GTTA has developed a Noise Management Policy.

The policy addresses matters of aircraft operations and the extent of residential intrusion into a newly-defined LBPIA Operating Area. The Operating Area is the nearest appropriate natural or man-made boundary beyond the 30 NEF contour. Highlights of the policy are as follows:

The GTTA will manage aircraft noise generation by enforcing federal regulations on the progressive replacement of noisy aircraft with the newer, quieter aircraft technology and enforcing, as appropriate, noise management procedures with full regard to safety.

GTTA will oppose incompatible land uses, especially residential developments, within the LBPIA Operating Area. Residential development will be considered as being compatible only if located outside the 30 NEF (Noise Exposure Forecast) contour.

The GTTA will manage conflicts where existing residential areas and the LBPIA operating area overlap. The GTTA will continue the noise management program previously established by Transport Canada and modify it as appropriate to meet operating demands. A Noise Management Committee has been developed to provide a forum for the GTTA to work with the community on noise related issues. Through consultation with this committee and the GTTA Consultation Committee, the GTTA will work to minimize the conflict and the magnitude of existing overlap between established residential neighborhoods and the LBPIA Operating Area.

Implementation of the Noise Management Policy is essential to allow the GTAA to act as a good neighbor and to ensure that is maintains and enhances LBPIA as a major economic generator for the Greater Toronto Area.
