A Noise Abatement Procedure (NAP) is a procedure designed to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on the community.

Airservices Australia has the following NAP in place at Hobart Airport:

• Preferred Flight Paths Part 1 Part 2

We will commence reporting on preferred flight path use, including use of the NAP for arrivals to Runway 30, in coming months. In the meantime, we have provided an overview of runway end use and the most common aircraft that operate at Hobart Airport.

It is important to note that NAPs are not mandatory; Air Traffic Control (ATC) and pilots apply the NAPs whenever possible. ATC and pilots will determine when critical operational requirements override the use of NAPs.

The overview below provides monthly movement numbers, runway end usage, and the types of aircraft operating at Hobart airport.

Note: Due to rounding, percentage values may not sum to exactly 100.0%. Minor discrepancies of up to ±1% are expected and do not indicate any errors in the underlying absolute figures, which remain accurate and unaffected.
