RichieD: the effects you mention on SSR are no different from the effects of chimneys, masts and tall buildings. Ask NATS!
NutLoose: do you really think EMA would build wind turbines on the airport without doing a full safety assessment and getting it signed off by the CAA?
Flying Pram: I'm sure if anyone proposed putting turbines close enough to an airfield to cause turbulence to aircraft taking off/landing there'd be plenty scope for objecting. Away from airfields normal 500ft rule applies and you just use common sense as you would in the lee of other objects which might generate turbulence.
ericferret: were you successful in stopping the turbine being built? The CAA are more willing to help these days but it depends which bit you speak to. DAP takes the lead. If you were only speaking to Aerodrome Standards you may not have had much response.
brine:
who will be the first pilot to collide with a wind turbine or wind farm
Ban hills, they really get in the way, especially if you never look at your chart or your altimeter or out of the window.
