“We have recorded and investigated over 430 individual complaints and found that in every case, the aircraft concerned was operating normally, legitimately and within the Airports operating framework.
This is is airport speak for tough we don't care and the law is an ass for residents as airport workers are protected by law while they are not.

I live a mile away from Luton and that is bad enough. I would expect noise levels to hit illegal limits if she is that close to the runway and was working without ear protection. Airport staff would be mandated to wear ear protection yet she is expected to just get on with her life that has been blighted by expansion that she could have not been expected to have predicted.

A jet aircraft taking off 25 metres away will be 140 dB(A)
If the daily noise level reaches 85dB(A), the law says that ear protection must not only be provided, it must be worn.
