Ah thanks Martin 123 - so to those not intimately involved with EIDW, some bigger picture emerges ...

An official (noise) report on dublinairport.com tells us that there were 1,411 arrivals (recorded as noise report events) on RW16 as opposed to a total number of such events of 70,107 for 6 months January to June 2016 i.e. indicative of 2% of arrivals.

Can we say RW16 gets well used 1 day in 50? Maybe speed/capacity limits should apply 1 day in 50 until they fix the system on RW16 Arrivals. Should the risks be NOTAM'd?

Devilishly inconvenient though, as commuters found out every day for years after the Hatfield and Potters Bar rail disasters.

Meantime, Keep calm and carry on ?
