Hi Penguin.

How does the noise abatement work? Surely the noise abatement is for departure at takeoff power over the suburbs to the east of the airport.

Rwy 09 for arrivals would have aircraft on approach from the west and no noise to the east. A go around would be a rare occurrence from a noise to the east perspective.

Ie
Easterly - arrivals 09, departures 16/34
Westerlies - arrivals and departures 27 and 16/34

Wouldn't that work from a noise point of view? We need glass half full sort of thinking to get this solved.
