Some years ago when Narita was new and the riots were at their height, some blue ice did drop onto houses under the R/W 34 ILS causing a fair bit of damage.
The oriental mind came up with this fix to placate the locals. I'd have thought that most thinking pilots with a single brain in their head would totally ignore the requirement given that noise abatement is the utter holy grail of Narita and Chiba Prefecture. Equally given the number of deaths and property destruction caused worldwide annually by this phenominon!
Of course, this IS a solution devised by those who run pens not flightdecks.
Heard the one about Aussie security severely hassling a B737 Capt for carrying aviation charts in his flightbag??
Who dreams up this s**t and teaches these morons??
G'day
