......if you do not like airport noise do not live near one.....
I totally agree. If you buy a house in Kegworth, then don't moan if your life becomes (as it will) a living hell whilst operators do their training. (the same operators, by the way, who are'nt allowed to train from their own bases because of noise restrictions there).
The start of this thread, however, was made by someone who heard aircraft noise at low level for an extended period
in the EAST of LEICESTER!!!!
So when buying a house which "is'nt too close to an airport", how flipping far do you have to go?????? Maybe the onus is on the Airport to keep the noise within reasonable boundaries.
My main argument, though, is that EMA is regarded as one of the training airfields of the UK. A free-for-all. As many as you like. The equal sharing of training flights (and their noise nuisance) throughout the UK is a farcical failure, supported by statements on this thread (which I've stored for future use).
Maybe the complaints are falling of (which I don't understand) because people have given up trying to put forward a reasonable case.
God help the ignored residents of the East Midlands area if the proposed expansion occurs. They'll be starting a Commercial Flying School if that happens. "Come bash the circuit with us. Noise not a problem. Make as much racket as you like over as big an area as you want."
