This Subpart prescribes noise abatement procedures for an aircraft operating in the vicinity of Paraparaumu aerodrome for the purpose of landing at or taking-off from Paraparaumu aerodrome.
(a) A pilot-in-command of an aeroplane must—
(1) except when performing a touch and go manoeuvre, commence each take-off—
(i) from the threshold of the runway to be used; or
(ii) if required to meet aircraft operational performance requirements, from the start of the starter extension if the runway is provided with a starter extension; and
(2) climb to 500 feet QNH before commencing a turn, unless the aeroplane is towing a glider and—
(i) a turn is required to clear an obstruction; or
(ii) a turn is required to avoid flying over residential areas; and
(3) if operating under VFR, conduct the part of the aerodrome traffic circuit where the aeroplane is not climbing after take-off or descending to land, at an altitude of at least 1000 feet QNH, unless a lower height is required to maintain distance from cloud; and
(4) when approaching to land on a paved runway, except runway 16, not descend below 50 feet AGL until the aeroplane is over the displaced runway threshold.
(b) A pilot-in-command of a helicopter must ensure approach and take- off flight paths do not descend below 500 feet AGL over any residential area.
