47N is one (#16 out of 32) of the airports I'll fly into this summer on my
4,500nm odyssey, of course theres no mention of any special procedures
on my printed out AOPA kneeboard chart for the airport.
Then again, so is BED (#12), where the pilots being sued are based.
Hope during this trip I don't do something that is forbidden locally
but not known beyond the local pilots. Nearly all the 'violations'
at our airport are by pilots not based here, they have no knowledge
of our voluntary noise abatement procedure. They still get a
nastygram in the mail though.

There's a complainer that lives off the western end of the runway at 47N.
They
initiated a procedure to try to placate her. Every aircraft was expected
to make a 45
degree left turn about 100 yards from the end of the runway. About a year
after that
went into effect, a Cherokee stalled immediately after turning and
pancaked into a
golf course, killing both occupants. They're back to straight out
departures now.
