Noise:

The airport is surrounded by many built up areas. Various procedures have been designed to minimise disturbance to the local communities.

Preferential Selection of Runway

Edinburgh operates a preferential runway scheme, whereby the Westerly runway (24) will be used for take-off and landing in preference to the Easterly runway (06), unless wind, or other factors dictate. Generally, it is to be said that:

"Runway 24 will normally be used in preference to 06 when the tailwind component is no greater than 5kts and the surface is dry"

The choice of runway configuration will be the decision of ADC.

Runway 12/30 is a visual runway only and should only be used if runway 06/24 is out of service. It may also be used for VFR aircraft wishing to depart and land.
