Dog,

I looked up the Alders home address after you did and then looked at the airport information. If everyone follows the noise abatement procedures....no aircraft should be overhead that house. However, it being a controlled airport and the FAR's requiring a helicopter to avoid the flow of Fixed wing traffic...I could see how it could happen. Also...I notice the helicopter altitude is published as a much lower height than the fixed wing altitude for traffic patterns.
