Noise Abatement Procedures (NAPs) at Gold Coast Airport restrict use of the ILS (Instrument Landing System) except in the following circumstances:

• when poor weather affects visibility
• for operational requirements,
• or during emergencies.

Air traffic control will nominate the mode during periods of poor visibility or in emergency situations. Pilots may request the mode at other times when there is poor visibility outside of air traffic control tower hours, to manage operational issues on board the aircraft or during emergency situations.

The report below provides a breakdown of ILS use based on ATC nomination and pilot requests.

The report is best viewed in full screen mode.

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.
