Well that's handy - If you're talking about Paris, France the
arrival and departure procedures are designed to circumnavigate the
city . . .


Yes, but as I said, even when I lived in another city beneath an
arrival path for one of the world's largest airports, I still didn't
hear much.

It used to be entirely forbidden to overfly Paris without special
permission, but now I do see aircraft occasionally flying over the
city. I understand that rules were relaxed some years ago (ironically
not long after 9/11), but at the same time I still see Paris marked as
a prohibited area on the charts, so I'm not sure what the status is
exactly.




Waht?


You're an idiot.
