AMOFSG/9-SoD/1 Appendix F APPENDIX F AMENDMENT TO THE TEXT OF PANS-ATM, CHAPTER 7, PARAGRAPH 7.2.6 Editorial Note.— New text is highlighted and deleted text is struck out. ... 7.2.6 Noise abatement shall not be a determining factor in runway nomination under the following circumstances: ... e) when the crosswind component, including gusts, exceeds 28 km/h (15 kt), or the tailwind component, including gusts, exceeds 9 km/h (5 kt), unless the following requirements are met, in which case noise abatement can be the determining factor in runway nomination to a maximum crosswind component, including gusts, of 37 km/h (20 kt), or a maximum tailwind component of 13 km/h (7 kt) including gusts: i) The wind reporting system for the touchdown and take-off area, incorporating implementation of additional wind measuring sensors and data processing meets the following accuracy of measurement criteria; 1) Mean Surface Wind Direction: ± 10º 2) Mean Surface Wine Speed: 0.5m/s (1kt) up to 5 m/s (10 kt) and ± 10% above 5 m/s (10 kt) 3) Variations from the Mean Surface Wind: ± 1 m/2 (2 kt), in terms of longitudinal and lateral components; ii) A procedure is in place to monitor and compare flight data with data derived from the wind reporting system in e) i) as part of a continuous safety risk assessment process to ensure that aeroplanes do not exceed demonstrated crosswind values or certified tailwind limits; iii) Precision approach guidance is available for the runway in use; iv) Arriving and departing aeroplanes are advised as part of the landing or take-off clearance, when variations from the mean wind speed (gusts) exceed 9 km/h (5 kt); v) The current surface wind is reported by ATC to aeroplanes on final approach after entering the Final Approach Segment or equivalent position; AMOFSG/9-SoD/1 Appendix F F-2 vi) Reported braking action remains “good”; and vii) At aerodromes with multiple runways, the wind information for each separate runway in use is included in the information provided by the automatic terminal information service (ATIS). ————————
