Complaints

Several years ago an Aviation General retired, bought land near Mother Rucker, started a housing sub-division and then complained daily about the flight paths over the area.

They put a 1K no fly around the subdivision. Not much investigating went on there.

More recently (last month) the FAA asked that the several EMS providers keep the airspeed up and altitude (above 1000 ft agl) as long as possible before starting the approach into a down town hospital pad (gound level pad).

The same individual complains on a daily basis, EMS or ENG it does not matter. No other complaints from residents in the area since the pad went into service years ago.
