Grrr

A few additional points that I have taken fro the meeting document.

R Nav approaches if ILS is down.

Noise complaints were down.

Car parks were operating at +100% during parts of last summer.

Delayed flights increased mainly due to late arrival of incoming flight caused by weather and ATC capacity constraints within Europe and the UK.

Departures routes will not be changed until a decision on the next new London runway is resolved. Flights therefore will continue to be held down lower until the airspace changes as part of LAMP are introduced after the initial deadline of 2020. LLAOL mentioned the possibility of achieving greater height sooner, by operating to fly over the ‘Bovingdon Stack’ rather than under it. (‘BLIMEY’ says Buster!).

Airbus A320neo when departing the noise reduction is around 5 dB and on landing around 3 dB.
