LHR Night Flights
In a recent article in the London Evening Standard concerning the ongoing expansion squabble at LHR, a reference was made to 18 night flights that take place at the airport. I presume that this refers to the early morning arrivals from the far east before 06:00, this does not account for 18 movements however. Can anyone clarify the matter. Living in the Waterloo area, where most of these a/c are applying reasonable power intercepting the g/s, I seem to get more noise than those closer to the field, and yes - although it is not an issue for me personally - it does frequently wake me up.
While on the matter, what is the planned usage for T5, the last I heard it was to more or less be another T3.
Thanx, Bill.

I think the 18 is the 2330-0600 quota. INBOUNDS and OUTBOUNDS!
As for appyling "a reasonable amount of power" it stops them falling out of the sky around Richmond/Twickenham.
A lot of posh houses/MP's there so power over Waterloo acceptable.
Seriously, they apply no more thrust there than anyway else on final - and at least they are higher than those closer to the field.
As for the media; Don't believe all you hear or read or see.
