You're a Noisy Lot in Perth...

[cbradio]

I knew Perth was a backwater!!

You might have the wrong Perth, wombat.

[Jabawocky]

find this idiots house, and get some old 727's, F28's, DC9's and do max weight max thrust departures over his house for a week or so.

Then ask hime would he like the modern quiet jets back?

Another 02 thief

Bloggs.....maybe its just you?

[Capn Bloggs]

Looks more like you than me, Jabba!

[DX Wombat]

No, definitely Perth, West Oz.

[cbradio]

Perth has about 13000 movements per month. Not sure where 778 per week comes from!

[le Pingouin]

No idea where you got your figures from Wombat but they're rubbish!

91,723 annual movements 2010-11 according to the Perth Airport Annual report: http://www.perthairport.com.au/FY%20...l%20Report.pdf

It made me wonder why people so much further out at higher parts of the approach seemed to be more vocal about it.

I think you'll find that the most annoying (as opposed to loudest) noise on a flightpath is where config/power changes occur.

[DX Wombat]

Figures came from a Government Paper on projections for the future. I've just tried to find it again and can't. If I get another chance to do so I'll try again later. I should have known better than to think any figures given by a government would be accurate.

[18-Wheeler]

You probably have to factor in some traffic to/from Jandakot as well, because the idiot in question here has decided to buy a house right between the two airports, then complain about aircraft noise.

[wishiwasupthere]

Is it natural progression for him to start complaining about 'chemtrails' soon?

Noise Complaint - YouTube

Now this is a noise complaint

[Pappa Smurf]

Amazing,as Canning Vale is 15k from airport.

At least people are allowed to make noise complaints...unlike your current abode, 380!

Here is a crazy plan.

Move Perth Airport to Pearce , Move the RAAF to a regional city like Kalgoorlie .

Some benefits are ,
Opening up prime real estate in the middle of Perth.
Values of suburbs like Redcliffe and Midland would rise due to less noise.
Govt could extend the the northern train line and have a train line to the airport.
A small regional city could recieve a boost from the RAAF and support services moving in.

Just an idea,

[avconnection]

RAAF would probably be happy to move but you'd still be stuck with the Singaporean Air Force there.

[Shark Slayer]

...Would love to see a new waypoint "NMARA" appear somewhat overhead this blokes house or maybe do the old checkboard like they used to have into Hong Kong and require aircraft to overfly it?

Wouldn't WANKA be more suitable?

The False Teeth Crusader

This bloke probably creates noise and other complaints against himself by way of:

• Playing his noisy piano accordian every friday night!
• Regularly wearing beige cardigans.
• Lining up at the Post Office every Tuesday AM 30 minutes before opening time.
• Lining up at QML every second Wednesday for a blood test 1 hour prior to opening.
• He complains daily to Coles about the lack of pensioner discounts for food items such as soft lollies and lactose free milk, and not to mention products such as adult nappies and Bepanthen cream.
• Whinges daily to the local Minister and Council about road noise, noisy kids, crows/magpies and wilderbeast noise, noisy garbage trucks, noisy Postie bikes, the young couple next door having noisy rooting sessions, noisy pool filters, noisy above ground power line humming (affects his tinitis), noisy police sirens, noisy cloud build-up during summer.....
• He creates complaints by driving his Mistubishi Magna at around 60 km/h on the freeway.
• He complains about not having unlimited access to the electric BBQ's at the local park.
• He whinges about insufficient wheelchair access to the lawn bowl green.

Again, we have a silly old silvertail moaning daily in an obsessive manor. This is another reason why the elderly should be culled at age 70!!

[Nautilus Blue]

70 you say, is that not a little old?

Gmail calendar duly annotated with Gobbledock's 2033 birthday.

[Worrals in the wilds]

Wouldn't WANKA be more suitable?

Or DIKWD.

He creates complaints by driving his Mistubishi Magna at around 60 km/h on the freeway.

And a legion of accidents behind it, but he's okay, sure in the belief that he's a Safe Driver. That said, I'd move the age up to 85, and a selective cull at that. Not all oldies fit the type, and there are plenty of Gen Xs who tick all those boxes;

• Playing his noisy piano accordian every friday night!
• Playing dodgy 1980s rock at dB readings in excess of a 727 on takeoff until 0200 cos it's allegedly cool, and who doesn't like Jimmy Barnes?
• Regularly wearing beige cardigans.
• Regularly wearing sports wear, despite his/her last sporting achievement being an 'effort' award in the B team at school during the aforementioned 1980s.
• Lining up at the Post Office every Tuesday AM 30 minutes before opening time.
• Lining up at the local coffee joint with an order that sounds like the co-ordinates for a secret nuclear facility. 'I'll have a double shot single filtered mocha soy latte with swirl, and don't make it too hot', while everyone else just wants a coffee...
  
• Lining up at QML every second Wednesday for a blood test 1 hour prior to opening.
• Lining up at the physio with yet another imagined complaint concocted between him/her and the naturopath next door, making all the people who actually had an appointment for their work related back injury and are writhing in agony (in between nicking sports magazines ) wait another half hour.
• He complains daily to Coles about the lack of pensioner discounts for food items such as soft lollies and lactose free milk, and not to mention products such as adult nappies and Bepanthen cream.
• Or the lack of free range pork, when his/her trolley is packed to the gunnels with precooked pepperoni pizzas and luncheon meat (may contain traces of lunch, definitely no meat),
• Whinges daily to the local Minister and Council about road noise, noisy kids, crows/magpies and wilderbeast noise, noisy garbage trucks, noisy Postie bikes, the young couple next door having noisy rooting sessions, noisy pool filters, noisy above ground power line humming (affects his tinitis), noisy police sirens, noisy cloud build-up during summer.....
• Same same. Some things never change.
• He creates complaints by driving his Mistubishi Magna at around 60 km/h on the freeway.
• Or his big, kickarse European SUV pretend 4WD with the private school stickers all over the back, just in case you weren't sure he was a total wanquer
• He complains about not having unlimited access to the electric BBQ's at the local park.
• Or the safety of his/her kids because there was a MAN in the park. Just sitting there. He must be Evil, otherwise what would he be doing in a park while the kids were there?
• He whinges about insufficient wheelchair access to the lawn bowl green.
• Or insufficient room for the aforementioned Euro Wanquer Tanker out the front of the aofrementioned coffee shop, when the spots are clearly marked 'commercial vehicles only' and someone from the council has the audacity to issue him a ticket...

I hear you, but being a whinger is a state of mind, not an age thing. We won't be rid of them for a loong time...
In the meatime, airport locations are hardly state secrets. Nor are flight paths, if you have the nous to look on the ASA site or just sit out the front of your prospective new home for an hour or so.
