1. Noise Abatement Provisions for København Airport Kastrup
The provisions are divided into 3 parts:
I. Noise abatement procedures for jet aeroplanes irrespective of weight, and for propeller and turboprop aeroplanes with MTOM of or above 11000 KG.
II. Noise abatement procedures for propeller and turboprop aeroplanes with MTOM below 11000 KG.
III. Noise abatement procedures for helicopters.
As regards engine run-ups and use of APU, see Local Regulations for København Airport, Kastrup.
Note: Noise abatement provisions for København Airport are established in pursuance of Section 82 of the Danish Air Navigation Act, cf. The Consolidation Act. no. 543 of 13 June 2001, and Regulations for Civil Aviation, "Bestemmelser for Civil Luftfart" (BL), BL 3-40: Regulations on the abatement of noise from controlled aerodromes, Edition 2, 17 March 2003.
Chapter 7 of BL 3-40 reads as follows:
"7. Punishment
7.1 Violation of Chapter 4 in this BL is punishable with fine under Subsection 9 of Section 149 of the Danish Air Navigation Act if the violation can be set against the person in question as intentional or grossly negligent.
7.2 Penalty may be imposed on companies, etc. (legal persons) for violation of noise regulations even though the violation cannot be set against the legal person or a person attached to the legal person as wilful or negligent. Similarly an owner of a one-man company may be punished with fine even though the violation cannot be set against the
owner as wilful or negligent. No alternative sentence is laid down for penalty."
I- Noise abatement procedures for jet aeroplanes irrespective of weight, and for propeller and turboprop aeroplanes with MTOM of or above 11000 KG.

a. Propeller and turboprop aeroplanes: 1500 FT
b. Jet aeroplanes ..............................:2500 FT
1.2 RWY 04L/R and 22L/R are preferential runways.

However, ATC can make use of parallel operations when regard of capacity makes it necessary. Depending on the time of the operation, certain types of aeroplanes are due to their noise characteristics only allowed to take-off on RWY 04R and land on RWY 04L.
2.1.2 When in the period 0700-2200 Danish time the runway in use is RWY 22L/R, RWY 22R shall be used for take-off and RWY 22L for landing unless one of the runways cannot be used due to snow clearance, disabled aircraft, work on the runway or runway conditions. However, ATC can make use of parallel operations when regard of capacity
makes it necessary. Depending on the time of the operation, certain types of aeroplanes are due to their noise characteristics only allowed to take-off on RWY 22R and land on RWY 22L.
2.2 When in the periods 2200-2300 and 0600-0700 Danish time the runway in use is RWY 22L/R, RWY 22L shall be used for take-off and landing.
2.2.1 RWY 22R may, however be used in the period 2200-2300 and 0600-0700 Danish time when:
a. RWY 22L is used for ILS CAT II+III approaches.
b. RWY 22L cannot be used due to snow clearance, disabled aircraft, work on the runway or runway conditions.
c. an extraordinary traffic situation causes delays of more than onehour.
d. regard of capacity makes it necessary to use parallel operations on characteristics only allowed to use RWY 22L.
2.3 RWY 12 and RWY 30 may be used when one or both of the preferential runways cannot be used due to:
a. the crosswind component on the preferential runways exceeds 15 KT.
b. the friction coefficient is below 0.30 on any part of the preferential runways.
c. the meteorological conditions are below minima for landing on the preferential runways.
d. snow clearance.
e. disabled aircraft.

g. condition of the runways.
When wind conditions so permit, RWY 12 shall be used for take-off in preference to RWY 30.
2.3.1 RWY 30 may, however, be used for landing without restrictions.
2.3.2 If a preferential runway is runway in use irrespective that the crosswind component exceeds 15 KT, a request to use RWY 12 or RWY 30 will be complied with.
2.4 If a preferential runway is not runway in use due to the crosswind component exceeding 15 KT, a request to use a preferential runway will be complied with if the handling of the other traffic so permit.
2.5 A request for permission to deviate from a clearance will be complied with if the Pilot-in-Command claims safety reasons.
