Dear Customer,
Please see below information regarding operating criteria at TAG Farnborough Airport. Following approval of the planning application for an increase in annual permitted movements, it is now appropriate to advise you of information regarding new, legally binding noise limitations for aircraft operating at TAG Farnborough Airport.
Currently, only aircraft types that are complaint with ICAO Chapter 3 criteria and above are permitted to operate. In accordance with the Airport Master Plan published in April 2009 and as a condition imposed to allow the increase in movements, noise restrictions at TAG Farnborough will be tightened to allow
only those jet aircraft meeting ICAO Chapter 4 criteria from January 1st 2013, with the exception of flying associated with the Farnborough International Airshow.
This does not mean they must hold a Chapter 4 noise certificate as only aircraft designed after 2006 may have this; however they must comply with Chapter 4 noise criteria.
Examples of types that currently operate at the airport which will not be permitted after January 1st
2013 are Cessna 560 Citation V, Dassault Falcon 20, Dassault Falcon 50, Gulfstream 3, Hawker 125-600A, Hawker 125-700A and Hawker Beechjet 400 depending on the individual engine type fitted to each aircraft.
Propeller driven aircraft with a MTOW of less than 8618kgs are exempt from this restriction.
Further information regarding criteria can be found at
EASA - Noise
We are currently collating data on all aircraft that use the airport. You will soon receive a request for noise certification information which, once verified as compliant, will allow future handling requests for specific aircraft to be accepted. If no noise certification information is received, or the aircraft is noncompliant, then handling requests post January 1st 2013 will be declined.
