Hi,
There is clearly a problem with off route Jets (at Manston) and this forum is about getting to matters of fact as well as discussing the odd rumour. Catflaps is right we seem to have an odd situation with Manston the old operators did one thing and the new operators are doing another. Now its clear that the 106 agreement which is voluntary (at Manston), means nothing now - this has a bearing on all airports in the UK as voluntary 106 agreements and Airports are a bad thing. Another aspect of this is the CAA does not engage appropriately with airport communities which does not aid any transparency with a so called watchdog.
I have looked at the so called 106 agreement departure, training and landing routes and something is not right, so we do need to know who actually controls Manston airspace - and who dictates which take off and landing routes are in operation as there is a small matter of noise abatement is there not -and at every airport i believe. Manston does not have a gated noise monitoring system so any noise monitoring is not worth the paper its printed on if jets are not on the designated routes.
