I have flown from a variety of Airfields and Farmstrips and without exception they all had rules and advice for pilots regarding noise sensitive areas. Many also seemed to suffer from unfair complaints - sometimes quite unreasonable.

I have always thought that many people regard flying as an activity for the rich. Anyone that flies knows that is not so and most people have to stretch to afford it. GA in this Country struggles to get by.

I cannot imagine flying at 50' over someone's roof. If somebody did that then further action should be taken, but how do you determine the altitude of an aeroplane by sight? I know that I can't do it.

I am personally very glad that Ms Lacey has joined this forum. Let us have an educated debate by all means and try to see both sides.

I would not want to annoy anyone with any of my hobbies. There is however give and take possible here - there are some people's activities that I personally cannot stand...........
