NOISE SURCHARGE
5/2008 Updated per the IATA Airport & Air Navagation Charges Manual
*A portion of the landing charge (2.08) is allocated to the Brussels International Airport Company and another portion (1.6432) is allocated to Belgocontrol which equals the Unit Rate of 3.7232
Landing Charge: Basis MTOW
Applied to each landing and each take-off
NOTE: According to the information in the AIP, GEN 4.1-4, para 7.2 - For the calculation of the charges and fees below, each fraction of a ton is counted as a whole ton, each fraction of 10 tons is counted as a whole.
Calculation: U x W x E x D
U = Unit Rate (EUR 3.7232)* is the unit tariff
W = Weight Factor(W) The maximum authorized take off weight of the aircraft expressed in tons
Minimum Weight Factor 25 tons
Maximum Weight Factor 175 tons
E = Environmental Factor
Noise Level Category

Environmental Factor (E)
1 1.70
2 1.20
3 1.00
4 0.90
The aircraft are classified into four noise categories by Brussels Airport in accordance with the stipulations of the management contract between the State and Brussels Airport. Each aircraft, of which the documents necessary for the classification have been transmitted to The Brussels Airport Company, will be assigned to a noise category. The initial classification into a noise category or a change of noise category of an aircraft is effective on the first day of the month following receipt of the required documents. Any aircraft for which BIAC has not received the required documents will automatically be assigned to category 1 with the exception of propeller aircraft of a maximum 9 tons, which will be assigned to category 2.
D = Day/Night Factor
The day/night factor (D) is set to 1, except as determined according to the table below
DAY/NIGHT FACTOR (D) QC DIRECTION TIME (LOCAL)
2 12 or above TKOF 2100 - 0759
2 any LDG + TKOF 2300 - 0559

The time of landing to be taken into account is the actual time at which the aircraft touches down. The take off time is the actual time at which the aircraft lifts off.


Aircraft Noise Categories

Basic principle:

A theoretical reference curve is drawn up according to the maximum authorized take off weight expressed on tons (MTOWTON) and the number of engines.

This curve is determined by the following formula:

PRED=LAT+APP+TKO

In which the parameters, dependent on the MTOWTON and the number of engines, take the values mentioned in the tables below.

LAT parameter
weight 0-35 tons 35-400 tons 400 tons and more
LAT=94 LAT=80.87+8.51 log MTOWTON LAT=103
APP parameter
weight 0-35 tons 35-280 tons 280 tons and more
APP=98 APP=86.03+7.75 log MTOWTON APP=105
TKO parameter 1 or 2 engines
weight 0-48.1 tons 48.1-385 tons 385 tons and more
TKO=89 TKO=66.65+13.29 log MTOWTON TKO=101
TKO parameter 3 engines
weight 0-28.6 tons 28.6-385 tons 385 tons and more
TKO=89 TKO 69.65+13.29 log MTOWTON TKO=104
TKO parameter 4 engines and more
weight 0-20.2 tons 20.2-385 tons 385 tons and more
TKO 89 TKO=71.65+13.29 log MTOWTON TKO=106

PRED gives the reference value in EPNdB (Effective Perceived Noise Level) for a given aircraft. The determination of the noise category of an aircraft is based on the data of its noise certificate established according to ICAO provisions.

In order to determine the noise category of an aircraft the sum TOTNOISE of the noise levels expressed in EPNdB for the lateral noise, the take off and landing noise, mentioned on the noise certificate of the aircraft, is compared with the PRED value which corresponds to the characteristics of this aircraft.

Determination of noise categories:

In view of the fixed theoretical reference curve, the four categories are determined as followed.


Category 1 TOTNOISE > PRED -4dB
Category 2 PRED -12 dB < TOTNOISE = or < PRED -4dB
Category 3 PRED -20 dB < TOTNOISE = or < PRED -12dB
Category 4 PRED -20 dB > or = TOTNOISE

Procedure for Classification into Noise Categories:

- For a given aircraft the sum TOTNOISE is made on the basis of three noise certification data (lateral, landing and takeoff)

- The corresponding PRED value is calculated by means of the above mentioned formula on the basis of MTOWTON value (maximum authorized takeoff weight expressed in tons) and the number of engines.

- By comparison between the PRED value and the TOTNOISE value, the noise category is determined on the basis of the criteria mentioned above.

- In principle, the determination of the TOTNOISE value is based on the results obtained according to ICAO provisions from noise certification of "Chapter 3" aircraft, i.e. at 2000 m from the landing threshold below the descent path, at 6500 m from the start of roll below the climb-out path at takeoff, at 450 m from the runway center line for the lateral value.

- As the lateral measurements for "Chapter 2" aircraft, are carried out at 650 m, the lateral value for these types of aircraft has to be increased by 2.1 dB

- In default of certification data according to ICAO provisions, the certification data according to FAA provisions may also be used.

- For certain types of aircraft, for which no noise certification is required and for which noise data are not or only partially available, an appropriate procedure is worked out together with the operator in order to establish a realistic TOTNOISE.
