The approach to 24 brings aircraft very low over some of the more expensive housing in Le Touquet. Operations on 24/06 inevitably bring noise complaints - one of the most vocal, ironically, from a resident Brit.
The view has been promoted strongly that departures off 06 are a really horrible accident waiting to happen - a view supported by a few rather cack-handed heavy departures on the average windy Saturday.
Such is their keen-ness to avoid the use of 24/06 that the ATIS-wind and the observable actual often bear little resemblance to one another
