manchesterairport.co.uk Pack Information Routes Departure Airport Manchester

54 2016 60 MEASURING NOISE 54 Generally, the closer that you live to an airport and a departure or arrival route, 66 the more noise you will hear. 60 ‘Noise contours’ give an indication of general noise levels and show an average noise reading over a set period of time. They use actual information on the 69 position, number, heights and noise levels of arrivals and departures to and 66 from Manchester. Noise contours look like a series of concentric rings, like in Manchester Airport a tree trunk. The closer the rings are to the airport, the louder the noise is. This is represented by a number. Current Government guidelines recommend 69 noise insulation such as high performance glazing or loft insulation at Departure Routes 63 decibels. If you live in this area, you can apply for help with this 72 at www.manchesterairport.co.uk/soundinsulation. Noise contours are common for measuring noise around 72 Information Pack other transport routes such as roads and railways. SOUTH TURN IN EASTERLY OPERATIONS (ROUTE LISTO2S) Flying over: Heald Green / Cheadle / / Bramhall / Woodford / Mottram / Prestbury / Henbury This document explains how we operate now and provides some information about the number of aircraft and passengers currently flying from Manchester Airport.

WANT TO KNOW MORE? There is a booklet like this one for each of our departure routes. Extra information is already available on our website in a range of formats including films and downloadable information sheets. You can see them all at www.manchesterairport.co.uk/runwaydatasheet.
