Aircraft noise - have your say...

[KidKruger]

wow dude lay off the moron stuff it makes you come across real silly. I overslept. Again.

[edcam]

Silly and a tad unhinged. This explains the oversensitivity to noise.

[ruffers]

This is up there with the cycling threads.

No it's the noise which has created the oversensitivity!

The lack of noise allowed you to sleep in?

Blimey anorak time.

Tomorrow will be just the samez

Runway resurfacing alters night-time flight patterns

Runway resurfacing is an essential maintenance task that comes round roughly once every decade. Last year we resurfaced the southern runway. During 2014, we'll be resurfacing the northern runway. Because Heathrow is so busy, this work needs to takes place at night.

That will mean changes to the pattern of night-time flights. From 23rd March to 31st October, most aircraft flying after 10.30pm and before 6am will use the southern runway.

Since Heathrow has relatively few night flights, the changes won't affect many aircraft ? mostly arrivals after 4.30am. There will be no additional night flights.

What does this mean for you?

If you live under the flight path for the southern runway, you'll experience more night-time aircraft noise than usual

If you live under the flight path for the northern runway, you'll experience less.

Back to the noise.

Westerly operations today.

But flights must have been further north as the noise sounded 1/3 to 1/2 of last weeks levels, that could be down to wind direction but the wind is very light so probably not.

From 6.30 did noise did become more intrusive but right now 9.00am nothing ?

See flight path below shows many flight are not over ED but over the Thames this morning.

Someone told me today that, since 9/11 the flight path into Heathrow has slowly been changed which is why we are now under the FP.

I can't see that makes any sense.

[edcam]

No, that doesn't make any sense at all fazer. They are just feeding your obsession.

[fazer71]

Yes that's what I thought too.

FYI it's not an obsession it's an annoyance.

Interestingly with the rise in temperature the noise appears to be slightly lower.

Even so today Jets droning whistling overhead every few mins.

[fabfor]

Well said, fazer.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Don't see why the aircraft noise should have a say, it's always droning on as it is.

I'm abroad at the moment but I hear last Thursday's meeting was poorly attended.

Anyone going to Tuesday's?

[Otta]

Probably poorly attended because for most people this isn't a big problem.

[ianr]

They're still up there. I can hear them.

....................................

Looks like I made a lucky guess, eh... Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Anyhow, I'd appreciate hearing about Tuesday's meeting, please.

[fazer71]

Just back home in ED.

Drone central.

watching top gear and the aircraft noise is constant.

drone drone drone.. In the background constant rumble.

99% of people don't want to make a fuss about negative issues.

maybe the ostrich in them stops them from making a fuss.

[StraferJack]

Come on people of east dulwich!!!

None of you can hear anything!!! Right?

Back this guy up so be doesn't like so... Isolated
