It's sad, but such are economic realities. I've seen an A380 flying directly over my head at low altitude at a show a couple years ago. I was super-impressed at how agile, almost sports plane-like it was behaving.
- lostlogin 8y agoIt’s less impressive when it’s over your backyard. They have been trialing a more aggressive landing approach here in Auckland. It’s lower, faster and shorter and it’s very irritating. It’s been handled aggressively by the airport but I sort of admire their handling. They started with the more annoying option as a test, so any future route will seem like a concession to public pressure. They have been encouraging people to complain, then producing stats showing that a high percentage of complaints relate to old flight paths. https://corporate.aucklandairport.co.nz/smart-approaches https://corporate.aucklandairport.co.nz/smart-approaches
