Extract from the Neighbourly Policy:
We will do so by endeavouring to adhere to the following principles:
- Ensuring that where practicable all IFR aircraft depart via the appropriate standard instrument departure (SID)
- Compliance with noise abatement procedures included in the ERSA which applies irrespective of tower operation
- All pilots to plan all flights to minimise flight over built up areas eg over water or rural areas
- Wherever practicable runway departure to use full length in order to maximise height over populated areas
- Consider using satellite strips for aircraft circuit operations
- Avoid flying low over populated areas
- Minimise engine failure training over populated areas
- No training to occur between the hours of 2200 and 0700
- No engine ground running for the purpose of engine testing to occur between the hours of 2200 and 0700 (unless approved by the Airport Manager for extenuating circumstances)
- Ensuring that all non pre flight engine runs are undertaken in the designated run-up area
- Ensuring that environmental awareness and noise issues are included in pilot training
- Responding to community enquiries about noise in a cooperative manner.
