7.2 SELECTION OF RUNWAY-IN-USE

7.2.4 Runways should not be selected for noise abatement purposes for landing operations unless they are equipped with suitable glide path guidance, e.g. ILS, or a visual approach slope indicator system for operations in visual meteorological conditions.

7.2.5 A pilot-in-command, prompted by safety concerns, can refuse a runway offered for noise-preferential reasons.

7.2.6 Noise abatement shall not be a determining factor in runway nomination under the following circumstances:

a) if the runway surface conditions are adversely affected (e.g. by snow, slush, ice, water, mud, rubber, oil or other substances);
b) for landing in conditions:

1) when the ceiling is lower than 150 m (500 ft) above aerodrome elevation, or the visibility is less than 1 900 m; or
2) when the approach requires use to be made of vertical minima greater than 100 m (300 ft) above aerodrome elevation and:

i) the ceiling is lower than 240 m (800 ft) above aerodrome elevation; or
ii) the visibility is less than 3000 m;

c) for take-off when the visibility is less than 1900 m;
d) when wind shear has been reported or forecast or when thunderstorms are expected to affect the approach or departure; and
e) when the crosswind component
