Friends of the Earth continue their uninformed comments on aviation :
BBC News - Olympic cable car 'at risk from City Airport planes'
How low do they think aircraft are at 2 DME on a 5.5 degree approach (answer about 1,100 feet).
It's not as if this cablecar scheme is in any way needed through. There is a quite adequate one-change Underground/DLR link between the two points already. It serves no additional transport function at all. Which is probably why Friends of the Earth back it.
