Interferance From Wind Farms
Hi Guys & Girls,
Could someone please explain to me why a wind farm could interfere with the ATC systems, the only thing I could think of was a possible interference to radar, possibly some EMF interference or line of sight communications?
It’s been a long time since I sat my exams and I fly rotary so it’s not an area of aviation I deal with. Could someone else please shed more light on this?
I am asking because a planning application has been made to build a wind farm with in 500 meters of the village I live in, naturally the people from the village are against it but also BAA opposed it about a year ago, since then revised plans have been re-submitted for this wind farm. I just wanted to get my head around the reasons why it could interfere with ATC systems etc.
Thanks in advance TTTE.
