AMC1 ATS.TR.260(g) Selection of the runway-in-use
ED Decision 2020/008/R
CONSIDERATION OF NOISE ABATEMENT IN THE SELECTION OF THE RUNWAY-IN-USE
(a) The aerodrome control tower should select runways for noise abatement purposes for landing operations only when they are equipped with suitable glide path guidance, e.g. ILS, or a visual approach slope indicator system for operations in VMC.
(b) Noise abatement should not be a determining factor in runway nomination under the following circumstances:
(1) if the runway surface conditions are adversely affected (e.g. by snow, slush, ice, water, mud, rubber, oil or other substances);
(2) for landing in conditions:
(i) when the ceiling is lower than 150 m (500 ft) above aerodrome elevation, or the visibility is less than 1 900 m; or
(ii) when the approach requires use of vertical minima greater than 100 m (300 ft) above aerodrome elevation and:
(A) the ceiling is lower than 240 m (800 ft) above aerodrome elevation; or
(B) the visibility is less than 3 000 m;
(3) for take-off when the visibility is less than 1 900 m;
(4) when wind shear has been reported or forecast or when thunderstorms are expected to affect the approach or departure; and
(5) when the crosswind component, including gusts, exceeds 28 km/h (15 kt), or the tailwind component, including gusts, exceeds 9 km/h (5 kt).
