Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: I should perhaps clarify my question. I am referring to noise abatement procedures for aircraft using an SID. Is this aspect not built into the SID?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: I see. Can Mr. Fitzpatrick outline in what circumstances it would be?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: Yes, that is fair enough, because I am not sure I fully understand what an NADP is. I know that in certain other jurisdictions NADPs, specifically NADP 1, are used and this allows, for want of a better description and I am not an expert, for the throttling of aircraft at a particular rate of climb or thrust, which results in less noise being generated. I understand this is a legal...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: I very much appreciate that. I appreciate that the IAA has been very forthcoming with me thus far. Mr. Fitzpatrick clarified that simultaneous operations minus the 30° is not possible and, under questioning from the Leas-Chathaoirleach, clarified the application of the 30°. Would it be possible, through the committee, to request any form of analysis that might be forthcoming in a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: I understand and I appreciate Mr. Fitzpatrick entertaining the question. It is worth exploring alternatives. Deputy Duncan Smith outlined what all of us thought since 2007 when the permission for the runway was granted.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: We were all under the impression it would be straight out and people's homes would be insulated using taxpayers' money - not the DAA's money - against the new aircraft movements. Now we find ourselves in the invidious position where aircraft are flying over homes that have never been in any scheme and cannot be included in this scheme because of-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: Indeed, and I want to make sure it is made clear. Homes that cannot be insulated unless it is done as part of a voluntary scheme because a review cannot take place of the noise corridor for another year under ANCA legislation, so there is a series of problems at play here. As a public representative for the community, as is Deputy Duncan Smith, it is incredibly frustrating that this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: That was very informative. I was not aware that the IAA had oversight over deviation of aircraft, and I had not realised that this is something that is reported to it. I omitted to ask a question, which may well be linked to NADP, but Mr. Fitzpatrick might clarify. Are continuous climb operations, CCOs, conditioned as part of an SID?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: I think so.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: If we are taking off on our flight path, when we get to 65 m above an obstacle, is the aircraft then permitted to go up in altitude?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: Yes, to bank. Mr. Fitzpatrick should forgive me. I want to make absolutely clear who is responsible for the instruction to the aircraft to adopt a standard departure within the corridor that the IAA has given its assent to, by verifying that it was within the code?
