26L/1391

08R/1289

Runway 08L/26R is a non-instrument runway and will only be used when Runway 08R/26L is

temporarily non-operational by reason of maintenance or incident. Additionally, during weeks

where planned maintenance does not take place, Runway 08L/26R will be in use onThursday

morning of each week from 0100 to 0400 (Winter) and 0001 to 0300 (Summer) for lighting checks,

subject to weather and confirmation on ATIS

Taxiway Juliet, between Juliet 8 and Sierra is limited to use by aircraft of wingspan of 99 ft or

below during actual take-offs or landings on runway 08L/26R. Taxiway Juliet, between Sierra and

drag operating procedures (referred to in Detailed Procedures for descent clearance in AD 2-

EGKK-1-17 of the UK AIP). Where the use of these procedures is not practicable, the

aircraft shall maintain as high an altitude as possible. In addition, when descending on initial

approach, including the closing heading, and on intermediate and final approach, thrust

reductions should be achieved where possible by maintaining a ‘clean’ aircraft configuration

and by landing with reduced flap, provided that in all the circumstances of the flight this is

consistent with safe operation of the aircraft

levels remain the basis for the QC classification.

- The definition of night (23:00 to 07:00) and night quota period (23:30 to 6:00) are

maintained.

- The 9 EPNdB adjustment for arrivals is maintained.

- The exempt category is no longer determined by weight, but by noise levels (aircraft below

84 EPNdB are exempt from night restrictions).

- The QC/0.25 band is 84 to 86.9 EPNdB. Aircraft in this category account for 0.25 in the

overall night quota (around 30 at LHR).

- QC/4 classified aircraft are subject to a scheduling ban within the night quota period

(23:30 to 6:00). This is not an operating ban and would permit aircraft movements within

Airport Charges from 1 April 2011-2012, revised 26 July 2011

Certification noise levels (EPNLs) are used for determining the QC category.

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS

When aircraft are parked on a stand which has a serviceable Fixed Electrical Ground Power

(FEGP) installation, the APU must be shut down on arrival on stand as soon as FEGP is

available and the passengers have disembarked.

The APU may not be restarted until 15 minutes before the planned departure time for

narrow bodied aircraft and 50 minutes before the planned departure time for wide bodied

aircraft except with the prior permission of the Airfield Duty Manager, in exceptional

circumstances.

Except in an emergency, no APUs shall be operated between the hours of 2300-0700 local

time on the taxiways and aircraft stands within the North Terminal site.

If it is necessary to use an APU to diagnose and rectify aircraft faults, prior permission must

be obtained from the Airfield Duty Manager.
