  15. All taxiway edge lights north of Runway 09/27 unserviceable.

4  Helicopter Operations
  1. Light helicopters are not required to use the runways but arrivals and departures should be operated in such a way as to avoid overflying of, and to minimise the disturbance to, local residential areas.

  2. Air taxiing on the main apron is not permitted except with the approval of ATC and under the guidance of a Marshaller.

  3. Departures direct from the SaxonAir Apron and associated stands are prohibited.

  4. Daily Helimed Operations take place outside of AD operating hours.

5  Use of Runways
  1. Variable circuits in operation.

  2. Normally no overhead joins are permitted.

6  Training
  1. Circuit and Instrument training is only available by prior arrangement with ATC and subject to local traffic and the runway in use. Normal circuit heights are 1000 FT QFE for aircraft up to 5700 KG and 1500 FT QFE for aircraft over 5700 KG.

  2. Due to the number of aircraft using the airport for instrument training a booking system is in operation. Training periods can be booked by application to ATC Tel: 01603-420641. The filing of a flight plan does not constitute a booking to carry out instrument training at the airport. Failure to make a booking may result in the aircraft being refused use of the facilities. Pilots unable to make the booked time must inform ATC either to cancel the slot or to re-book.

  3. Aircraft wishing to make training approaches (non-landing) are to contact the preferred handling agents, SaxonAir on 01603-510111 to book in. There is no requirement to call ATC.

EGSH AD 2.21  NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

1  General
  1. Operators of all aircraft using Norwich Aerodrome are to ensure at all times that aircraft are operated in a manner calculated to cause the least disturbance practicable in the areas surrounding the aerodrome.

  2. Where operationally possible, pilots should endeavour to avoid overflight of the town of Taverham situated 2 miles west of the airport.

  3. When taking off, aircraft shall climb as steeply as minimum engine noise settings allow and when approaching to land, without the assistance of ILS, shall follow a descent path which will not result in their being at any time lower than the normal 3° GP.

2  Arrivals
  1. Pilots of arriving jet aircraft and turbo-prop aircraft and aircraft in excess of 5700 KG should arrange their flights to be established on final approach to a runway not below 1500 FT AAL.

3   Departures

All aircraft other than IFR helicopters to the Southern North Sea (see below):

  1. On departure from any runway, all aircraft are to climb straight ahead to 1000 FT AAL before turning, unless instructed otherwise by ATC.

  2. Departure aircraft less than 5700 KG AUW - may be permitted to make a turn to the north of the aerodrome at 500 FT AAL.

EGSH AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1  Procedures for Outbound Aircraft
  1. Departures overflying the EHAA FIR via the UK North Sea are to flight plan via BODSO - L17 - MOLIX and then appropriate routes for destination.

2  Air Tests
  1. Any aircraft requiring an air test which will be climbing to FL 190 or higher must have each individual flight approved by London Military. Pre-notification to London Military is required 24 hours prior to the flight taking place and it is the responsibility of the aircraft operator to ensure compliance with this requirement. London Military can be contacted on Tel: 01489-612408. If pre-notification is not completed start clearance may be delayed or withheld. All air tests must have a correctly filed flight plan which clearly and unambiguously states the nature and requirements of the flight and must include London Military as one of the addressees. A GAT Flight Plan into and routing along airways for the sole purpose of a flight test IS NOT acceptable. Norwich ATC can provide further information if required.

3  Visual Reference Points (VRP)
  1. Details of VRPs are available in the consolidated 'Visual Reference Points List' published on the 'Digital Dataset' page of the NATS AIS website, www.nats.aero/ais.

4  Special VFR Flight
  1. Clearance may be requested for Special VFR flight within the Norwich Control Zone and will be given whenever the traffic situation permits.

  2. Special VFR clearance may include routing and maximum altitude instructions.

  3. Pilots are reminded that they must at all times when operating on Special VFR clearance, remain clear of cloud and in sight of the surface and in flight conditions which will enable them to determine their flight path and keep clear of obstacles. Radar vectoring will not normally be applied to aircraft operating on Special VFR clearance.

5  VFR Flights
  1. VFR flights in the CTR/CTAs may be given routing instructions and/or altitude restrictions in order to integrate VFR flights with other traffic.

  2. Pilots should anticipate routing instructions in relation to the Visual Reference Points (VRPs) detailed in paragraph 3.

  3. Pilots of VFR flights are reminded of the requirement to remain in VMC at all times and to advise ATC if at any time they are unable to comply with the clearances as issued.

6  Frequency Monitoring Code (FMC)
  1. Pilots operating in the vicinity of, but intending to remain outside the Norwich controlled airspace within a 20 NM radius of the airport and maintaining a listening watch only on Norwich Radar frequency, 119.355 MHz, are encouraged to select SSR code 7350.

  2. Selection of 7350 does not imply the receipt of an ATC service. Aircraft displaying the code are not expected to contact ATC under normal circumstances, remain responsible for their own navigation, separation, terrain clearance and are expected to remain clear of the Norwich controlled airspace at all times.

  3. Whilst squawking 7350, pilots should be aware that Norwich Radar may make blind transmissions in order to ascertain a particular aircraft's intentions/route.

  4. When a pilot ceases to maintain a listening watch, code 7350 shall be deselected.
