  • Airport Operational Activities: Flight Paths
  • Airport Operational Activities: Standard Hours of Operation
  • Airport Operational Activities: Flight Training Guidelines
  • Airport Operational Activities: Fly Neighbourly Agreement

 The Noise Management Plan (January 2022) can be found using the following link: BMRA Noise Management Plan (January 2022)

 Fly Neighbourly Principles

The Noise Management Plan, Airport Operational Activities: Fly Neighbourly Agreement lists the following principles for pilots and aircraft operators utilising the Busselton Margaret River Airport to observe:

  • Observe the flight path principles in the noise management plan;
  • Observe residential noise abatement zones as identified in the noise management plan;
  • Pilots should endeavour to maximise flight paths over coastal water, forest and highways while avoiding residential areas and rural homes wherever possible;
  • Avoid flying below 1000 feet AGL within in the circuit area, and avoid flying below 1500 feet AGL over built up areas;
  • Observe the Operational Limitations and Approved Parameters defined in the Standard Hours of operation;
    • Observe the noise generation specifications as depicted in the noise management plan;
    • During take-off:
      • utilise the full length of the runway where possible;
      • aircraft to climb out at best rate of climb (Vy) or for Jet aircraft to conduct jet noise abatement climb procedures;
      • consider neighbours when selecting power and propeller pitch control settings by reducing power as soon as possible after take-off.
    • When flying in the circuit:
      • light and rotary wing aircraft should avoid flying below 1000 feet (AGL);
      • jet and turbo prop aircraft should not fly below 1500 feet (AGL);
      • rotary wing aircraft should avoid 'rotor slap' conditions in the circuit area;
      • avoid using individual houses as circuit reference points.
    • When landing:
      • Do not increase propeller to full RPM until power has been reduced to final approach power.
