Neighbors constantly complain about the noise and the fact that the runway is about 150 feet away from homes in some places.<BR/><BR/>On one hand, the airport has been there for 70 years, long before there were any homes in the area. So if someone decides to build homes or move in next door, that's their issue and not the airport's. As you say -- if you want to live near the airport, you have to deal with living near the airport.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, 20 years ago, this airport was really just a bunch of light singles toodling around the pattern. Nowadays there are business jets coming and going about 50 ops/day, so I think residents have a resonable case for "bait and switch" -- the airport wasn't nearly this much of a noise-maker when they moved in.<BR/><BR/>Also, the runway used to be much shorter. True, they're the ones who built homes 150 from the fence, but the fence used to be 1000 feet from the threshold.<BR/><BR/>So, who's to blame? I don't know, but still reduce my prop pitch to 2200 every time I get close, because it makes everyone's lives easier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1117125119592281512005-05-26T16:31:00.000+00:002005-05-26T16:31:00.000+00:00I was told in my ground school that the Vancouver ...I was told in my ground school that the Vancouver International Airport recieves 70 calls a day regarding noise complaints....Some people have to much free friggen time on their hands. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I'm moving into a place mere yards away from where the float planes take off and land....I can't wait :)Lost Av8rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096008783177892349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1117094209953367492005-05-26T07:56:00.000+00:002005-05-26T07:56:00.000+00:00DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) has some problems w...DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) has some problems with its neighbors complaining about noise. However, a large percentage of the complaints come from one single address. We seem to have someone with the same hobby as your complainer.<BR/><BR/>The airport has been there for a few decades. I doubt many of the people complaining about the noise were there before all the airplanes moved in.Kris Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074794127008708420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1117090651815230782005-05-26T06:57:00.000+00:002005-05-26T06:57:00.000+00:00I know the feeling - we have the same problem with...I know the feeling - we have the same problem with neighbours who bought a house near a bread bakery, then wondered why there were lorries going in and out at four in the morning.<BR/><BR/>Paul G0TLGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1117089432372835432005-05-26T06:37:00.000+00:002005-05-26T06:37:00.000+00:00Hey great site!!
