HOW WE OPERATE

USE OF RUNWAYS

Manchester Airport has two runways. We use both runways during the daytime, but planning permission does not allow us to use Runway 2 between 10pm and 6am, unless we are doing maintenance on Runway 1.

As the number of flights has increased, we have needed to extend the times during which we use both runways. This happened in July 2018. The changes will reduce delays and increase efficiency. For more information about this see our web page at manchesterairport.co.uk/ dualrunwayuse.

We have a Night Noise Policy which means that we do operate at night, but flights are restricted. You can read more about our Night Noise Policy at manchesterairport.co.uk/nightnoise.

LANDING PATHS

RUNWAY DIRECTION

For safety reasons, aircraft must land and take off into the wind. At Manchester Airport the wind usually blows from the west, meaning aircraft approach from the east (over Stockport and Heald Green) and take off to the west (towards Knutsford). This is known as `westerly operations'.

Sometimes the wind direction changes and moves to the east. In this case, aircraft approach from the west (over Knutsford) and take off to the east (over Heald Green and Stockport). This is known as `easterly operations'.

On average, between 70% and 80% of our departures each year will be westerly operations. In 2018, 76% of flights were westerly operations and 24% of flights were easterly operations.

ROUTES DEPARTING TO THE WEST

There are four routes with westerly departures shown on this diagram. These are used for an average 76% of our flights. In 2018 there were 4521 departures on route LISTO2R (Runway 1) and route LISTO2Y (Runway 2) ? 6% of all westerly departures.

Our information is based on the most recent complete year, which was 2018, and our busiest month in that year (August), compared to our quietest month (February).

Currently aircraft navigate using navigational equipment on the ground close to and around our

SONEX1R / 1Y runways. A series of instructions will navigate the aircraft along the whole route (for example, to fly

straight ahead for a set distance and then turn at a particular point to a compaMssEbReEa?ring of...).

Outwardly the accuracy with which an aircraft navigates depends on the following.

? The size of the aircraft

? The weight of the aircraft

? What technology the aircraft has on board ? Weather conditions

CHANGES IN THE FUTURE

AIRCRAFT

Over time, airlines will buy new aircraft. The improved engines are quieter and more efficient. The new sleeker plane is able to climb quicker and with less friction, significantly reducing noise and emissions. All of this is beneficial to communities that the aircraft fly over.

Aircraft using the LISTO2R and LISTO2Y routes range from small 10-seat aircraft up-to the larger 100-seat aircraft.

MODERNISING AIRSPACE? NORTHWICH In February 2017, the Department for Transport published `Upgrading UK Airspace'. This document reviewed how modern aircraft can use the new technology on board for greater efficiency and reduced noise. The current departure routes for aircraft are based on navigation equipment on the ground. Modern aircraft can replace this method of navigation by using satellites. Satellite-based routes enable aircraft to more accurately follow the centre lines of departure routes while maintaining safety.

The Government has said that all UK airports must make these changes, and in December 2017 the CAA issued guidance on how airports should manage change in a document called Airspace Design CAP1616. This is available on the CAA website.

The first stage in the modernisation process is for an airport to issue a Statement of Need to the CAA for them to approve the start of a change process. We did this in March 2019 so that the CAA can give approval for change. In 2019 there will be a period where we consult our community and the industry on Design Principles. We will follow the process set out in CAP1616. Find out more at manchesterairport.co.uk/ futureairspace.

AIRSPACE LEVELS A review of upper airspace (above

OLLERTON

24500 feet) is taking place. This will

reposition some of the main airways

over the UK to increase efficiency and

improve the customer experience with

less time in hold, more timely arrivals and

departures and reduced emissions. This

review process will also enable us to create the

best possible design to make sure we can achieve

Manchester Airport's potential by securing further

routes to destinations around the world. This will

create more jobs and boost the region's economy.

The changes relate to three levels of airspace.

? High level ? over 7000 feet where aircraft are travelling to or from their final destination

? Arrival ? below 7000 feet heading to the final destination airport

? Departure ? between 0 and 7000 feet leaving the airport to join the high level routes

ARRIVALS

Aircraft currently approach the airport they are landing at and wait for an instruction to land. Ideally, the approach is a continuous descent to land as this is fuel efficient and quiet.

If aircraft need to wait, they go into a `holding pattern' away from the airfield. As a part of this project, NATS will examine if this is the best way to control aircraft approaching the airfield before they land.

There is more information about arriving aircraft in our arrivals data sheet. You can find this at manchesterairport.co.uk/ runwaydatasheet.

MEASURING NOISE

Generally, the closer that you live to an airport and a departure or arrival route, the more noise you will hear.

`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 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 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 noise insulation such as high performance glazing or loft insulation at 63 decibels. If you live in this area, you can apply for help with this at manchesterairport.co.uk/soundinsulation.

Noise contours are common for measuring noise around

72

other transport routes such as roads and railways.

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 at 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 future.airspace@manairport.co.uk. If you would like to talk to us you could: ? phone our Freephone number (08000 967967); ? send an email to community.relations@manairport.co.uk; ? come to an outreach session (details are on our website at

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 manchesterairport.co.uk/webtrak.
