NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
| Departure Procedures: Distance measuring equipment (DME) departures for jet aircraft will commence departure turns using DME from the following runways, unless otherwise directed by BWI Tower. Runway 15R: 2 mile DME, turning left and 1 mile DME turning right. Runway 28: 3 mile DME, all turns. Runway 10: 2 mile DME, all turns. Runway 22: 2 mile DME, all turns. Jet aircraft departures from runway 33L will commence turns immediately upon becoming safely airborne. Runway 04 will be used only when excessive cross winds or other emergency conditions dictate. Jets departing runway 04 will maintain runway heading until one mile from end of runway before turning. Runway 33R departing for all aircraft going to the north or east will maintain runway heading until one mile from the end of the runway before turning right. Departures from runway 15L of multi-engine aircraft are encouraged to maintain runway heading for one-half mile before turning on course. Arrival Procedures: Turbojet aircraft conducting visual approaches are expected to maintain 3,000 feet or above until 10 DME from the BWI VOR and, to the maximum extent feasible, remain at or above the Instrument Landing System or Visual Approach Slope Indicator. The Interstate Visual Runway 33L procedure is to be used by turbojet aircraft arriving via the Nottingham VOR for visual approaches to Runway 33L, when air traffic and weather permit, and when cleared by the BWI Tower. |

PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS
| Preferential Runway Use West operations which concentrate turbojet departures on Runway 28, are preferred for noise abatement. Runway 10/28 is the preferred runway for noise abatement between 2300 and 0500 local time. Traffic and weather permitting, aircraft should arrive on Runway 10 and depart Runway 28. Runway 15R/33L and 15L/33R are available for use during the above hours, but are not preferred for noise reasons. Runway 33R should not be assigned to departing aircraft between the hours of 2300 and 0500 local time. During these hours, Runway 15L should not be assigned to arriving aircraft except for unusual weather conditions, etc. Runways 04/22 shall be closed to multi engine aircraft 2200 to 0700 local time. Runway 04 shall be closed to jet aircraft takeoffs. Runway 22 shall be closed to landing jet aircraft. The above restrictions apply except for unusual weather conditions, emergencies or runway closures which preclude the use of other runways. Practice landings and approaches by jet and turbo prop powered aircraft are prohibited from 2300 to 0700 local time. Commuter Runway (15L/33R) Noise Rule: Any aircraft producing a sound exposure level (SEL) of 90 decibels or above for, either takeoff or landing, is prohibited from operating on Runway 15L/33R, except for emergencies or mercy flights. |

| The SEL calculation procedure for each aircraft type uses noise and
performance data from the most recent database of the FAA's INM. For
aircraft types that are not included in the INM database, a comparable
aircraft type that has been identified by the FAA as most appropriate, is
used for estimating the noise of the actual aircraft. Using the INM, noise calculations are made at three locations; 1)15,000 feet from start of takeoff, 2) 25,000 feet from start of takeoff and 3) 10,400 feet from landing threshold. Any aircraft type producing an SEL of 90 dB or more for any of the three specified calculations is prohibited from operating on runway 15L/33R. |

ENGINE RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS
| Run-ups are authorized from 0700 hours to 2300 hours local time only at approved airfield locations and under procedures prescribed by the MAA. Run-ups are restricted between 2300 hours to 0700 hours local time and authorization must be obtained from the BWI Airport Operations Center for any run-ups above idle power setting. Only run-ups for emergency operations can be authorized between 2300 and 0700 hours local time. Certain exemptions for unscheduled maintenance can be allowed between 0400 and 0700 hours local time. Authorization during this time period can only be provided for aircraft that had an unexpected abnormality which had been discovered on an inbound flight segment to BWI Airport which required maintenance to assure a safe flight and in order to meet an early morning departure time. To meet an early morning departure time, run-ups may be performed beginning two hours prior to the scheduled departure time, but not earlier than 0400 hours, with prior approval from the MAA's Airport Operations Center. For example, an aircraft scheduled to depart at 6:00 a.m. may perform a run-up at 4:00 a.m.. |

NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM
| The noise monitoring system now consists of twenty-three permanent monitor sites. The purpose of the noise monitoring system is to: |
|
| The monitoring system is not used to monitor noise levels of individual aircraft flyovers to enforce any type of noise budget or maximum SEL levels. The airport has no such requirement. There are no pre-set noise levels in the system which, if exceeded would consitute a violation. |
