2019 DEPARTURES INFORMATION

MEASURING NOISE 5154 Generally, the closer that you live to an airport and a departure or arrival route, the more noise you will hear. 5760 ‘Noise contours’ give an indication of general noise levels and show the average noise reading over a set period of time. They use actual information on the 6663 position, number, heights and noise levels of arrivals and departures to and 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. 69 This is represented by a number. Current Government guidelines recommend noise insulation such as high performance glazing or loft insulation Departure Routes at 63 decibels. If you live in this area, you can apply for help with this 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. WESTERLY DEPARTURES IN EASTERLY OPERATIONS (ROUTE ASMIM1S) Flying over: Heald Green / Didsbury / Sale / Streford / Urmston This document explains how we operate 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 and arrival 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. We will need to consult widely about changes to airspace in the future. If you would like to be on a mailing list to make sure you receive information direct, please email [email protected]. If you would like to talk to us you could: – phone our Freephone number (08000 967967); – send an email to [email protected]; or – come to an outreach session (details are on our website at www.manchesterairport.co.uk/outreach). You can watch aircraft movements and look at heights and positions over the ground using webtrak, which is on our website at www.manchesterairport.co.uk/webtrak.
