previous financial year. An annual Quota Count of 4,000 applies and aircraftwith a noise quota value greater than 4 are not allowed to operate during thenight period. Other controls include a night noise limit of 87 dB(A), withinfringements surcharged by a fine equivalent to the full runway charge.There are also constraints on the use of specific runways and restrictions onthe use of certain aircraft stands to protect local residents from ground noise.Schedule 6 gives details of a diffusion tube and an ambient air qualitymonitoring system to provide measurements of emissions attributable for theoperations of the airport. The airport is obliged to make a financialcontribution for an annual air quality survey (up to a maximum of £100,000)and to take appropriate measures if this falls below the minimum standard setby the World Health Organisation, the European Union or the HMGovernment’s expert advisory panel on air quality standards (EPAQS).Schedule 7 sets out the airport’s obligations in establishing noise preferentialroutes following public consultation. The airport is required to monitor trackkeepingand publish a report on airline performance at least quarterly. Alldeviations more than 1.5 kilometres from the centreline of the standardinstrument departure (SID) route at a height of less than 3000 feet should bebought to the attention of the aircraft operator.Schedule 8 provides details of the Community Trust Fund referred to above.The objectives of the fund as to enhance the natural and built environment inthe area affected by the airport, including the provision of recreational, leisureand educational facilities. Under the Section 106 Agreement for the newterminal development, the airport is obliged to contribute £50,000 per annumtowards this fund, together with all income from surcharges raised from theviolation of the day and night flying policies.7.2 London City AirportPlanning permission was granted in July 1998 for an increase in Air TransportMovements at London City Airport subject to Section 106 Agreement betweenNewham Council and the Airport. This covered a range of environmentalprotection issues (including noise and air quality), surface access andjobs/training matters. Under Clause 7.7, the Airport was required to submit anew and extended Noise Management Scheme for approval by the Council,following consultation with the Airport Consultative Committee.The key elements of the Noise Management Scheme include:• Airport and airline operator awareness (through theappointment of a specialist airport environmental officer and anairline air safety committee)• Provision of a combined noise monitoring and track-keepingsystem (with four recording positions). The system is to beregularly calibrated and maintained and, in the case of failure,additional back-up equipment is to be kept by the Airport• Preparation of noise contours (57 dB LAeq 16hour) based onactual noise trials of aircraft operated at London City Airport• Limitations on the use of noisier aircraft types (up to 94.5PNdB)EU00142:FINAL REPORT PAGE 35
• Limitations on the number of annual and daily ATMs and theuse of a factored movement system based on aircraft typenoise levels (similar to a Quota Count). The factoredmovements should not exceed specified annual or weeklylimits• Limitations on the use of engine ground running and auxiliarypower units (APUs). The limit on engine ground running is setas the equivalent of 60 dB LAeq, T (where T is any period of12 hours) free field as measured outside and at one metrefrom any existing residential premises in the vicinity of theairport• Provision of soundproofing to local homes and schools• Stipulation against the excessive use of reverse thrust onarrival without the clear need to do so• A system of penalties to airline operators for noisy departures(in excess of the maximum dB limit), for the use of reversethrust on arrival and for exceptional deviation from track.Conversely a credit (or bonus point) to be awarded for quietdeparturesIn terms of air quality, the Section 106 Agreement requires the installation ofair quality monitoring equipment near a local school to measure fineparticulates (PM 10 ) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ). An annual report is to besubmitted annual to the Council and the Airport Consultative Committee.7.3 Manchester International AirportManchester Airport PLC signed a Section 106 Agreement jointly with CheshireCounty Council and Manchester City Council in August 1994. The Agreementrelated to the development of a second runway at the airport.The main schedules of the Agreement cover:• Community Obligations (Sound Insulation Grant Schemeand Community Trust Scheme)• Noise Control (Impact, Noise Monitoring and Track-keeping,Aircraft Operations Policy, Runway Utilisation, EngineTesting)• Night Flying (including a Quota Count)• Environmental Mitigation Works• Highway Improvements• Public Transport Improvements (including extension of theMetrolink and schemes to promote public transport accessby passenger and airport employees)The Community Obligations cover the provision of a Sound Insulation GrantScheme to domestic properties within the 62 LAeq (24 hour) contour. This isto be reviewed annually. A Community Trust Fund is to be established by theAirport Company with an annual budget of £100,000 plus aircraft noisepenalties. This will provide expenditure on schemes for environmentalimprovement within areas directly or indirectly affected by the airport’soperations.EU00142:FINAL REPORT PAGE 36
