Phil Dominey of South West Trains confirmed the new rail/air tickets were also available for passengers with reduced mobility.
Jan Halliday advised the whole of the Southampton Airport website was being re-designed and queries regarding the readability of certain pages would be addressed.
RESOLVED –
That the minutes of the meeting of 11 June 2013 be confirmed and signed as a true record of the meeting.
2. INFORMATION FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Godfrey Olson advised that he had been informed that Lucy Luland was unwell and had resigned from the Committee. She had asked Winchester Trades Council to appoint a replacement for her. The Committee agreed a letter should be sent to Mrs Luland giving their good wishes.
3. AIRPORT MANAGING DIRECTOR'S REPORT
In the absence of David Lees, who was attending a meeting of Ferrovial in Madrid, Jan Halliday presented the Managing Director’s report previously circulated with the agenda.
Addressing the growth in passenger figures, up by 7%, Mrs Halliday said August had been the busiest month since 2007. The additional daily flight to Amsterdam provided even more worldwide connections from Southampton Airport.
The Andorra route by Inghams and Neilson tour operators would fly to Llieda Airport from where the transfer to Andorra takes only 1.5 hours.
In addition to the report Mrs Halliday spoke about the Music in the Air project which provided Friday evening concerts at the Airport from 5pm. The Eukalele Jam were the first to participate on 27 September , followed by the Electric String Duet on the 4 October. This week on 11 October the Southampton Swing Band would be performing in front of the Mayors of Eastleigh and Southampton. Committee members were invited to join them.
On being asked about increased helicopter flights, Mike Glenn advised that there were more movements of the Police helicopter and the Air Ambulance was seen more regularly since the helipad at Southampton General Hospital had provided a trauma centre for such cases. It was agreed that figures would be brought to future meetings.

4. GUILDFORD MEETING OF SASIG AND THE MAYOR OF LONDON - DAVD AIREY
Councillor David Airey attended a meeting in Guildford in July which considered the proposals regarding the future location of airports around London, together with extra runways etc. Proposals considered included inner and outer estuary proposals, and changes to Stanstead put forward by the Mayor of London. The meeting had been restricted to the promotion of the Mayor’s proposals, although several representatives at the meeting were keen to think about a wider range of ideas.
5. SOUTH EAST OF ENGLAND COUNCILS MEETING - DAVID AIREY
Councillor Airey also attended a meeting of the South East England Councils where they were looking at strategic commonalities between areas, common themes which local authorities could support. Infrastructure and connectivity were seen as the key number one issues, where airports might be involved where the obvious emphasis had always been seen primarily as Heathrow.
6. AIRSPACE CHANGE PROPOSAL - PRESENTATION BY IAIN MCDERMOTT PAINE AND MIKE GLENN, SOUTHAMPTON AIRPORT
Iain McDermott-Paine introduced the item explaining the initiative was primarily regarding new approaches for aircraft from the South and the move toward GNSS approach where satellite navigation was used. This was seen as a fairly minor change but nevertheless necessitated a consultation process.
The reason for the change was explained as a navigational aid known as a VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) would be de-commissioned in 2016 in a move toward satellite technology. The new system would provide more opportunities for aircraft to be configured to land more efficiently as they approach the airport from the South. This falls in line with FAS – Future Airspace Strategy.
The change was not about, routing heights, night flights, operational hours, types of aircraft, approaches from the North, runway/air capacity, noise routings, controlled airspace or Section 106 agreements.
Mike Glen explained that the noise statistics to August this year were significantly reduced from 1548 in 2006, to the current number of 64. Aircraft movements had also decreased from the 2006 level of 55789 to the 2013 level of 27524.
Turning to Aircraft operations and approach Mr Glen showed the committee maps with routings shown, given that aircraft always take off and land into the prevailing wind.
There are currently two types of approach: visual where the pilot uses his/her eyes, and makes manual adjustments to the flight routing, for this approach visibility must be good and conditions perfect.
3 4
The second approach was an instrument approach used when there is low cloud, mist or rain. This system relies on navigational aids positioned on the Airport. This approach may be used in all conditions and relies on: (1). The glide slope which emits a signal on a gradient of 3˚ which controls aircraft descent; (2). A Localiser which aligns the aircraft with the centre line of the runway; and (3). Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) measures the distance from the airport.
Currently the visual approach takes a straight line from Southampton Water at 4 nautical miles out. The VOR approach to the runway is offset and the aircraft becomes fully aligned at approximately 2 nautical miles from the airport. However the VOR system is being decommissioned.
NDB (Non Directional Beacon) is very old technology and emits a signal which the aircraft flies towards.
GNSS is a line over the ground and gives a straight approach from 9.1 nautical miles out (a point beyond Beaulieu to the South) and gives a constant approach with no turns This is expected to provide benefits in terms of a reduction in noise and emissions. This is less invasive and works in a similar way to a sat nav in a car but in a 3d form, giving height as well .
From 2016 GNSS and NDB and visual approach will b e able to be used. The height of the aircraft using GNSS would be 2500 feet at a distance of 9.1 nautical miles, then at a non specific point on the same trajectory it would be at a height of 1860 feet, by Dibden Purlieu the height would be at 1700 feet. At the Itchen Bridge in Southampton the height would be 902 feet and at 1 nautical mile out 400 feet then touch down. This approach will maintain the internationally recognised approach angle of 3 degrees meaning there will be no change in aircraft heights.
A question was raised why the 3˚ approach had to be used, when London City Airport uses a 5˚ approach. It was explained that only aircraft with the correct regulatory approvals and technology can use a 5˚approach and these were not currently in use at Southampton.
On looking at the narrower approach a question was raised as to whether those houses on the wider approach would be less disturbed to the detriment of those houses directly within the narrow path. It was agreed this was probably the case. A slide showing the four approaches was shown and is attached to these minutes.
It was explained that 1 in 4 aircraft can already use the GNSS approach and by the end of the decade it is likely to be mandatory to use this system.
Turning to tranquillity and visual intrusion it was explained that the biggest change would be felt on the southern side of Southampton Water and Jan Halliday and Mike Glen were working with representatives of this area during the consultation.
Details of the consultation could be found on the Airport website at the following address: www.southamptonairport.com/consult .

The consultation was being launched today with the following timetable:
8/10/13 – 31/1/14 Consultation period Feb/March 2014 Analysis April 2014 A summary report would be written June 2014 Formal submission of the report Summer 2014 CAA decision Autumn 2014 The new approach would be available for use.
Jan Halliday advised there was to be a consultation session in the Spitfire meeting room on 13 November 2013 to which stakeholders were invited (The Consultative Committee being considered a stakeholder). More details would be sent to members.
In reply to a query as to the resilience levels it was thought these would be better and in America where the system is widely used resilience is at 99%.
In depth questions with regard to height were taken.
7. NOISE ACTION PLAN
Patrick Collins advised the Committee that we were in the third year of the Noise Action Plan. There was currently nothing significant to report and although it had been hoped to bring noise contours to the meeting these were still ongoing and a report would be taken to the Technical Working Group in January and then to the February meeting of the Consultative Committee.
8. MONITORING OF THE FLYING CONTROLS AGREEMENT - TONY WRIGHT, EASTLEIGH BOROUGH COUNCIL
Consideration was given to a report by Tony Wright which summarised the statistics of operational activity at Southampton Airport for the May to August period of 2013 provided by Southampton Airport in accordance with the Flying Controls Agreement between the owners of the Airport and the Borough Council. The report also compared the figures with those for the previous year.
Turning to the earlier query regarding increased helicopter movements Mr Wright explained that although movements were up they were nowhere near the level that the Flying Controls Agreement would permit. Aso night flights were well within permitted numbers.
The report was noted.
9. TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP FEEDBACK
Iain McDermot Paine presented the previous TWG minutes previously circulated with the agenda. He mentioned that although currently the Trislander Aircraft was exempt from noise performance routings, there had been some increase in the numbers of complaints and they were to look at 5 6
the preferred noise routings again and revalidate the need for the exemption with Aurigny.
The Aviation Policy Framework would be a regular agenda item at the TWG. Robin Tice applauded the efforts to save fuel but questioned the savings of aircraft taxiing on one engine and questioned health and safety in this regard. He also thought there was considerable cost and wastage by flying the loop over Winchester.
Mr McDermott Paine advised that the one engine taxiing was used network wide and was a decision by airports but by the airlines.
10. DATE AND TIME OF NEXT MEETING
The next meeting would be held on 11 February 2014 at the Civic Offices, Leigh Road, Eastleigh.

The report also compares the figures with those for the previous year. ______ Aircraft Movements: September to December 2013 1. The monitoring statistics for this period are set out in the attached Appendix prepared by Southampton Airport. The total number of aircraft movements during this four-month period was 12,977. This was 779 fewer than the total over the same period in 2012, a decrease of 5.66%. 2. The fall in the number of aircraft movements recorded at Southampton Airport in each reporting period during 2012 compared with the previous year has been repeated in each reporting period of 2013. It reflects the significant ongoing impact of the economic recession on the airlines and on operational activity at the airport. 3. As with my report to the October Committee, the number of aircraft movements is the lowest total number of aircraft movements recorded in this reporting period for many years, although figures in earlier years were boosted by the number of training flights in smaller aircraft. 4. There were no training movements during this four-month period and none were recorded in the same period in 2012. Eastleigh Borough Council 1 19 5. Helicopter movements totalled 81 during this period, 21 more than in the same period last year but well within the usual range for the number of such movements. Movements During Night Hours: September to December 2013 6. There were only two aircraft movements during night hours over this four-month period, neither of which were exempt from the restrictions in the Flying Controls Agreement. The Agreement allows for up to 10 night movements in any calendar month, in addition to ‘exempt’ movements attributable to weather conditions or defined emergencies directly affecting that movement. The total number of night movements was one of the lowest ever recorded. 7. The tables now also show the cumulative total number of ‘non-exempt’ night movements for the year to be only 17. The Flying Controls Agreement allows up to 100 such movements in a calendar year. 8. Both of the night movements took place within 5 minutes of the formal airport closure time of 11.00pm and were delayed scheduled flights. Conclusions 9. Monitoring continues to show airport operational activity to be well within the terms of the Flying Controls Agreement. The continuing uncertainties in the economic climate and the difficulties faced by the aviation industry are again reflected in the decrease in the number of movements compared with the same period last year.

(ML’s were tendered after the meeting) Review of Previous Minutes DI had submitted an update around his action drafting a MoU between WAG and WCC. DL updated the meeting on an action assigned to DI in connection with a proposed MoU between WAG and Winchester City Council. DI had advised DL that a meeting is scheduled with Steve Brine MP, Jan Warwick and WAG for 7 th February, which was meant to take place in December but had to be postponed. Minutes reviewed and updates to be given during this session and were signed off. 25 Noise Statistics Review Noise Complaints Most complaints are coming from the Bishopstoke locality. One vortex report from Townhill Park but was confirmed by SIAL’s roofing contractor that it was general wear and tear on his roof. One complaint related to a helicopter movement which was around a week ago and was subsequently found out to be a police helicopter therefore not related to the Airport. Noise Complaints by Arrival / Departure Individual Households Review of 2013 0 complaints were recorded in November and December 2013 . Complaints remain low for the year despite the warm weather experienced between May – September. MG highlighted that planned improvements for 2014 include an improved complaint logging dat abase which has been created in-house and a planned newsletter focussing on key noise issues such as aircraft routings, how weather can affect noise etc. This follows the proactive stance that SIAL take towards noise. NS reported that there were a lot of local contentious planning applications which could be making people more aware of surrounding and likely to complain more. JH said the number of individual households must be at the lowest figure during her time at Airport. 26 GO said it was almost a non -event these days and it’s important to keep on top of this. Trislander Noise Preferred Routing (NPR) • Following an increase in complaints, SIAL decided to look at implementing a form of NPR’s for the Aurigny Trislander • Notification received in October 2013 from Aurigny regarding a new aircraft trial • November 2013 – 2 week trial with Dornier 228 • NPR investigation on hold due to Aurigny placing an order for 2-3 of these new aircraft, although delivery timeframe unconfirmed. Plus points – • Increase in seating capacity • Quieter • MTOW means that the aircraft will be required to follow existing NPR’s GO questioned the flying height. MG reported they are more efficient and can get to a higher altitude more quickly. DL reported that the new aircraft are manufactured in batches so there was a level of uncertainty for when they would receive the aircraft. TW asked how many tr islanders Aurigny currently had. MG confirmed that they have around 6/7 trislanders. Operational Fuel Saving s This was raised by Robin Tice at the last Consultative Committee Meeting.

MG – It’s a brand name and stands for Airport Noise Monitoring Systems, it processes our data and determines whether flights are off track. It is used by LHR and isn’t personalised for us and is suited to dealing with a higher volume of complaints compared to what we have. TW questioned around the multilat system being taken out of use an asked why. DL reported it had been approximately 5 years since the system was scoped and implemented, and as a result the system was coming to end of life and with the lower number of complaints we were experiencing it wasn’t viable to continue with it. The Airport still continues to use the webtrak system to monitor flights.
