Yet another example of a so-called “scientific study” using the name of an educational establishment to give it credibility.

Safety and aesthetics are completely different subjects and yet the questionnaire combines both. As with all surveys, it’s the question not the answer and this one is heavily weighted to produce an anti-windfarm response.

There is no question to determine the difference between ground clutter of nuke and coal fired power stations compared to wind farms and pilots & ATCO’s opinions of commercial & visual impacts (with answers provided) has nothing to do with aviation safety.

A genuine scientific study wouldn’t ask for opinions. It would carefully evaluate results from radar technicians and properly conducted tests.

Next Daily Fail headline; “Air traffic controllers report windfarms are a danger to aviation safety”

You’ll have to do better than that, son.
