NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

See AIP France LFBO ADC 02 for details Particular Instructions for Arrival Procedures 1. Noise Abatement Procedures - Flying over the Hospital of Purpan is permanently prohibited - Low circling approaches are prohibited 1.1 Departure procedure Flights must be operated with noise abatement climbing procedure at departure 1.2 Arrival procedures Approaches should be performed with an angle or greater than the angle of the glide path defined for ILS (RWY 14R, 32L, 32R and 14L). Visual approaches are prohibited - in the case when they are required in a purpose of flight safety - on proposal of ATC unit in order to optimize the air traffic control. Flying over the urban area of Toulouse has to be avoided and the runway center line has to be intercepted at 3000 ft QNH minimum. See AIP France AD2 LFBO ENV 1 for complete details of noise abatement procedures. 1. General Instructions The aircraft captain can only waive these rules if he thinks that it is required for flight satiety. 1.1 Rules 1.2.1 Aircraft operating in accordance with instrument flight rules must respect the specific noise abatement procedures that are published for the attention of users by the Aeronautical Information Service. 1.2.2 Aircrews shall observe the engine operation instructions included in the operating manuals aiming at reducing to a minimum the noise impact of landings and take offs. These instructions shall comply with the ICAO PANS-OPS provisions, vol 1. 1.2.4 Flying over the Hospital of Purpan is permanently prohibited 1.2.5 Low circling approaches are prohibited 2. Procedures 2.1 Arrivals It is recommended that, whenever possible, power or thrust increases are avoided when on final approach 2.1.1 Visual approaches Visual approaches are prohibited except: - in the case when they are required in a purpose of flight safety - on proposal of ATC unit in order to optimize the air traffic flow management. In this case flying over the urban area of Toulouse shall be avoided and the runway center line has to be intercepted at 3000 ft QNH minimum. 2.1.2 Instrument approaches To reduce aircraft noise nuisances, instrument approaches must respect the following criteria, unless safety considerations dictate otherwise. - Final approaches shall be performed with an angle equal to the glide path defined for ILS - The glide path shall be intercepted at 3000 ft QNH minimum - Recommended optimum initial approach glide slope angle is 5.2% 2.1.3 Thrust reverser operation On landing, thrust reverser operation is prohibited as also the propeller reverse pitch devices may be set to a position exceeding the reverse idle power only for operational safety reasons (for example: rear wing, contaminated runway ....) 2.2 Departures Except in special situations or if otherwise advised by ATC, all instrument take-offs must comply with the initial clearance issued by the ATC (See AIP FRANCE LFBO SID) There are fines that apply in accordance to the law L228-4 of the Civil Aviation Code (document in French) A draft bill was approved by the French Parliament (July 12) that will set up an independent group call the "Autorité de Contrôle des Nuisances Sonores Aéroportuaires" to monitor noise levels at French airports and will be allowed to impose fines of up to 20 000€ on airlines and 1500€ on pilots that disregard noise abatement procedures on take-off, landing or engine run-ups. This group is operating since 16/02/2000 .The new law also restricts helicopter operations over over populated areas.

Other Operating Restrictions 3.1 Night Operation None of the noisiest aircraft included in Chapter 3 (1) is authorized at Toulouse-Blagnac aerodrome: - to land between 2200 and 0600 local time for in-block time - to take off between 2200 and 0600 local time for off-block time Under the same provisions and in the same time slot, no noisy aircraft included in Chapter 3 (2) is authorized to land or take off at Toulouse-Blagnac airfield except if the aircraft operator can prove that the affected aircraft has been operated at the airport less than 5 years before March 30, 2003 which is the date of application of the ministerial decree restricting the use of Toulouse-Blagnac airfield. All operations undertaking commercial flights departing from or arriving at Toulouse-Blagnac airport must publish, in their operating manuals, the classification of their aircraft in accordance with the following definitions: (1) *The most noisy aircraft in Chapter 3*, are turbojet aircraft whose noise certification meets the requirements specified in Chapter 3 of the second part in the first volume of Annex 16 of the ICAO Convention dated December 7th 1944 and which have a cumulated margin of certified noise levels, with respect to permissible noise limits defined in this chapter, being less than 5 EPNdB; (2)* Noisy aircraft in Chapter 3*, are turbojet aircraft whose noise certification meets the requirements specified in Chapter 3 of the second part in the first volume of Annex 16 of the ICAO Convention dated December 7th 1944 and which have a cumulated margin of certified noise levels, with respect to permissible noise limits defined in this chapter, being less than 8 EPNdB

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS - NONE

OPERATING QUOTA - NONE

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS

Provided by the airport from AIP France - AD2 LFBO ENV 2 16 Mar 2006 3.2 Engine run-up These engine tests must be carried out on the "Bikini" run-up area and in the protected run-up area located on St Martin Lagardere site. The engine tests are prohibited between 2200 and 0600 local time. "Engine test" means any operation carried out on stationary aircraft with its engines running either for more five minutes or at a power greater than that used for starting and taxiing sequences.

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS

Environmental Charter: limitation of use of the APU. APU can be started during 20 mn after the arrival time or 60 mn before the departure time. http://environnement.toulouse.aeroport.fr/upload/pagesEdito/fichiers/Charte_plan_action(1).pdf

ADJUSTMENT TO THE LANDING FEE

Since 1984, the landing fee is adjusted according to the aircraft's acoustic group. Group 1 = 1.30 Group 2 = 1.20 Group 3 = 1.15 Group 4 = 1.00 Group 5 = 0.85

NOISE TAX - click here for the details (revised as of January 1, 2008) The noise tax is part of the general tax on polluting activities TNSA (Airport Tax Noise). This charge is in addition to the landing fee which is based on the aircraft's acoustic group. The formula for the noise tax which is applied to each take-off: Tax = b x t x log(MTOW) t= Unit rate: EUR 30.00 (adjusted each year based on the domestic retail price index) b= Coefficient according to the departure time and to the acoustic group to which the aircraft belongs.
