VTSM  AD 2.20  LOCAL AERODROME REGULATIONS

NIL

VTSM  AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1.  ICAO Noise Abatement Departure Procedure RWY17/35
1.1 ICAO have developed aircraft operating procedures, Noise Abatement Departure Procedure 1 (NADP 1) and Noise Abatement Departure Procedure 2 (NADP 2), for the take-off climb to ensure that the necessary safety of flight operations is maintained whilst minimizing exposure to noise on the ground.
1.2 NADP 1 is intended to provide noise reduction for noise sensitive areas in close proximity to the departure end of the runway. NADP 2 provides noise reduction to areas more distant from the runway end.
1.3 All operators are to adopt NADP 1 procedures for all take-offs from Samui Airport on RWY17 or RWY35
1.4 Full details of NADP 1 and NADP 2 are contained in ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Aircraft Operations, Volume 1 – Flight Procedures (PANSOPS, Doc 8168 Volume 1).
1.5 For Propeller and Turboprop Aeroplane, after take-off Pilot-in-Command should aim to use an airspeed giving the best rate of climb.
2.  Noise Mitigating Measures
2.1 The following procedures are implemented to reduce aircraft noise levels when operating conditions permit. These measures include:
  1. Preferential use of Runway

  2. APU Restrictions

  3. Reverse Thrust Use

2.2 Preferential use of Runway

RWY35 for take-off and RWY17 for landing are preferentially to be used. However, in order to achieve maximum flight safety, this procedure is not applied under the following circumstances.

  1. The use of other runway is necessary in consideration of safety of the aircraft operation.

  2. The condition of the specified runway is not suitable for landing or take-off.

  3. The tail wind component, including gusts, exceeds 5 KT.

  4. The cross wind component, including gusts, exceeds 15 KT.

  5. When the possibility exists that orderly flow of traffic may be impeded.

2.3 APU Restrictions

For noise abatement purposes, pilots are encouraged to limit Auxiliary Power Units (APU) use to the minimum time necessary. The maximum recommended APU run-time is (30) minutes.

2.4 Reverse Thrust Use

The use of reverse thrust may negatively impact the residential community surrounding the Samui Airport, particularly during night hours. The use of minimum reverse thrust necessary for safety is recommended consistent with runway conditions and available length.

3.  Noise Level Limits
3.1 Noise Operating Restrictions

Under the Environmental Protection (Aircraft Noise) Regulations, international and domestic aircraft operating to/from Samui Airport are required to be certified as compliant with the relevant ICAO Annex 16 Volume I, Aircraft Noise.

  1. Subsonic jets must be certified as Chapter 3 or Chapter 4.

  2. Aircraft with Chapter 2 noise certification are not permitted to operate.

3.2 Marginally Compliant Chapter 3 (MCC3) Aircraft

The operations to flights which will be operated by subsonic jet aircraft that meet the Chapter 3 standards by a cumulative margin of not more than 5 EPNdB (Marginally Compliant Chapter 3 (MCC3) Aircraft) will be prohibited for take-off and landing at Samui Airport between 1100 UTC and 2359 UTC.

3.3 Exempted MCC3 Aircraft

MCC3 aircraft operated for emergency, medical and humanitarian purposes are exempted from the above restriction.
