Minimum Noise Routings Hamburg (SID)

The take-off routes are proposed by German Air Traffic Control and, after being heard by the German Aircraft Noise Protection Commission (Fluglärmschutzkommission), are regulated by the German Federal Aviation Administration.
Aircraft taking off must remain within the flight expectation areas highlighted in grey until reaching the minimum flying height.
The take-off routes aim to direct aircraft which are taking off in such a way that the number of people affected by aircraft noise is kept to a minimum.
