Noise Management Organisation
Statutory forum for engagement on any matter concerning the management of the airport which affects: users, local authorities and other local stakeholders Develop, agree, oversee and maintain a coordinated noise management vision and strategy on behalf of stakeholder organisations
Noise and Track Keeping Monitoring Advisory Group (NATMAG)
Discusses a wide range of noise and track-keeping issues; monitors airspace, complaint handling, noise and track-keeping performance and ground noise complaints. Drives and monitors the NMB actions and NMB Workplan activities coordinating activity across various stakeholders and fora.
Gatwick Consultative Committee (GATCOM) Noise Management Board (NMB) NMB Workplan Implementation Steering Group
Gatwick’s Mitigations
Statutory noise controls include
- Departure noise limits and noise preferential routes
- Restrictions on number of night movements and their noise footprint
- Minimum heights to be achieved; the monitoring and reporting of
compliance using the noise and track keeping system Mitigations beyond NMB Workplan
- Actions proposed in the Noise Action Plan 2019-2024
- Gatwick’s noise insulation scheme extends to the 60 dBA Leq
contour and thereafter up to 15km from the runway
How We’re Delivering Change
Noise Action Plan
- Proposed plan with DEFRA (and DfT) for approval
- Plan covers the period 2019-2024
- We will regularly monitor and report on progress against activities
- In the next year anticipate:
- Review of the Noise Insulation Scheme
- Introduction of enhanced Noise and Track Keeping System
- Review of Departure Noise Limits and Fines
- Review options to ban noisiest aircraft at night
22
Enhanced Noise & Track Keeping System
23
- Implement an enhanced system summer 2019
- Will use multiple data feeds and sources to add resilience
- Replacement of all noise monitors and expand the fleet
- Additional means for submission of complaints
- Enhanced public flight tracker
and website re-design
24 Hours on Westerly Operations
24 Hours on Easterly Operations
Holistic View of Airspace Operation
Noise Exposure Contours 2017
- Actual modal split 54dBA contour decreased by 5% from 88.1km2 to
83.8km2 and the 57dBA contour decreased by 3% from 44.2km2 to 42.7 km2
- Day standard modal split 54 dBA contour decreased by 4% from
86.5km2 to 82.7 km2 and the 57dBA contour also decreased by 3% from 43.8 km2 to 42.6 km2
- Population count within the actual 54dBA contour decreased by 3%
from 11,600 to 11,300
27
- Population count within the
standard 54dBA contour decreased by 1% from 11,100 to 10,950
Route 4 - Update
- We are working to revert the Route 4 conventional standard
instrument departures (SIDs) to their position on 6 April 2017
- A safety review was completed and the SIDs submitted to CAA for
approval in May 2018
- We published an explanation of the historic changes to the route
based on the review of Route 4 conducted by the CAA
- We have appointed ANS/Osprey to develop the Route 4 Airspace
Change proposal
- The rigorous ACP development process does however mean that a
final outcome is likely to take up to two years to achieve
Departure Route Review
- Assessment of the impacts of Heathrow routes on Gatwick’s Route 3
SIDs to enable an increase to the first altitude restriction
- Studies of aircraft performance on departure to identify restrictions
and develop options to allow Gatwick departures to climb in a more consistent and low noise configuration
- Review of lateral and vertical departure route performance:
- Routes 1, 7, 8 and 9 - January 2019
- Routes 5 and 6 - February 2019
- Route 2 - March 2019

Case for Airspace Modernisation
- Traffic is increasing, airspace
inefficiencies are creating environmental issues and delays are increasing
- Airlines are introducing next
generation aircraft but legacy airspace means we aren’t fully exploiting this benefit
- Airspace re-design potentially
unlocks innate capability, reducing noise by up to 5dB and emissions by up to 14%
Future Airspace Strategy
- Opportunity to deliver for communities and aviation
- But, local communities suspicious of aviation intentions
- Needs Government and industry leadership to achieve change
33
Airspace Modernisation Process
- NERL will redesign London
airspace (LTMA) and coordinate airport inter-dependencies
- Engagement and transparency
are key requirements of the CAA’s new process
- A statutory consultation will
take place (estimate 2021)
