SEN being a constricted site when it comes to very well established residential areas surrounding it & being unused to night jet movements would have due cause to heed./QUOTE]
I think it's worth mentioning that prior to the Section 106 agreement which limited SEN night period movements to 120 per month, the previous quota limit was 900 per month. Historically SEN was very busy at night and in the 1980s the local jokes included one which suggested that SEN would close during the day if runway resurfacing was required as it was much busier at night. After that in the 1990s SEN was a freight hub with Electras and CV580s etc. operating an intensive night programme.
The latest SEN Annual Report states that 87% of night movements adhered to the preferential runway policy of 23 arrivals and 05 departures. A glance at satellite imagary will readily show the noise benefits that produces.
