Departure procedures when using runway 20

Pilot's are advised that a trial amendment to procedures when using Runway 20 takes effect from 28th May 2010.

To minimise local noise disturbance when departing from Runway 20 and when safe to do so, upon reaching the Manchester Ship Canal aircraft should commence a right turn onto crosswind to avoid overflying the residential areas of Flixton and Irlam.
