"the airplanes landing at this airport that was here when I moved are very loud and should not be allowed to land here anymore."
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoThis is a standard in my country but with farm smells and noises. People buy a house "in the country", then they complain about manure on fields, cows mooing and tractor noises.
- shitlord 4y agoThey could also argue that the airplanes will cast a shadow on neighboring parks/houses.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoConsidering that FAA lowered a bunch of flight paths over the last ~5 years, kinda feels like a bait and switch. My parents' place was always pretty quiet since it's 20+ miles from the nearest major airport, but after FAA Nextgen was implemented it got fairly noisy from all the airliners passing over.
- clamprecht 4y agoI'm curious, where did this happen?

- V-eHGsd_ 4y agook, nothing was lowered, but nextgen and the reliance on satellite based navigation is allowing the planes to take more direct routes. this necessarily takes them over areas where they didn't fly before. i'm sympathetic to the homeowners, but the routes are more efficient and planes burn less fuel. and if the difference is really only a few miles as the guy said in the video, we're talking about ~15 seconds of inconvenience per plane (planes look like they're flying over the lakes ~300 kts), and from checking adsexchange/flightradar, we're not talking about a huge number of planes.
