Yep and the answer's the same, fvck off back in your hole.

Here's the answer you got to the same question last January: From: Don Tuite Newsgroups: rec.aviation.piloting Subject: Planes drone out MLK celebration Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 20:51:33 GMT On 17 Jan 2006 10:18:20 -0800, "daffy" wrote: First, the city we are talking about is Newark, not Norwalk. Second, the small plane (GA) traffic is NON-STOP, where a new plane passes overhead every 60 seconds or so everyday, so this plane noise was not done delibertly during the ML King celebration. It was hard to hear the speaker while planes flew above the event. Yes, the noise lasts only 20 seconds, and if only a few planes per hour were out, it wouldn't be an issue, but the airspace above Newark is a pilots fancy. This complaint makes sense. Planes heading for San Carlos, Palo Alto, Reid Hillview, Hayward, and to some extent, Oakland tend to exit the Livermore valley via the Sunol gap. The gravel ponds at Niles are sort of a waypoint, and Lake Elizabeth marks a step transition in the base of the San Francisco class B, so it's another airplane magnet. Going west or north, the reporting point for San Carlos is the Coyote Hills, which is a little north of the Dumbarton Bridge tollboth. Inbound Palo Alto pilots report the Nummi plant or the salt pile, a little to the south. I'm not sure where the Hayward reporting point is from the south, but it's got to be right around there. A little further south and you're in San Jose's airspace. That actually protects Milpitas because flying east of 680 puts you out of San Jose airspace. The result is that Newark and Fremont take it in the shorts. I don't have a solution, but the poster is by no means talking through his hat. Well, I do know one thing that makes logistical sense. Move Palo Alto GA and San Jose freight to Moffet. Don |

Although you sound like a yet another anti-aviation troll who bought a house near an airport without researching it first, perhaps you would like to post your latitude and longitude so that we can either avoid your location if at all possible, tell you why you might be noticing a lot of aircraft, or at the very least, fly by and wag our wings in an aviation version of "hello"... Interestingly, your IP address indicates that you are near Pasadena, not the Bay Area... Perhaps you have more more problems than a bit of buzzing in the air... One might hazard to guess that you should at least know which ****in' part of the state you live in? |

Don't do that. The pilots all know there is no enforcement, and they will
retaliate by buzzing your house since you have the audacity to complain about noise. Here is the mentality you are fighting: http://www.stopthenoise.org/Pilot%20Talk.htm You need to go to the press, organize other victims, and go to the politicians en masse. It is extremely hard to fight the FAA/AOPA cabal, but it is possible if you are persistent and do your research. |

It is extremely hard to fight the FAA/AOPA cabal, but it is possible if you are persistent and do your research. Victims? Fight? What are you fighting for? What are you a victim of? America is a country that is founded on principles of freedom and democracy. Pilots are free to fly in this country once they have demonstrated that they can do so safely. In a similar manner, drivers are free to drive in this country once they have demonstrated they can do so safely. I'm sorry that your house is in a noisy spot. I assure you that pilots do their best to pick practice areas that are in remote locations so as to disturb the fewest people possible. People may hear airplane noise if they bought houses in those areas. If it disturbs them, that is certainly unfortunate. The solution of creating no fly zones over your house because you are annoyed by the noise is ludicrous. The US Government was not established to protect a very small set of citizens from their own bad choices, poor due diligence, or just plain bad luck. Perhaps you should consider staying inside and turning the TV on to eliminate the noise. Or if that is not acceptable, I can offer a good source of inexpensive earplugs. Of course, neither I nor the US Government, would ever attempt to restrict you from moving somewhere else that is not in the practice area of an airport. Why would you think that the government would attempt to restrict me from flying in your neighborhood if I am doing so safely? Do you believe that you have more rights than I do to the air above your head? I'm afraid you don't own the air that circulates above or around your person or property. Even if you breathe that air, it's just on loan, as it will be expelled out of you shortly afterward, ultimately to be shared by someone else. If it disturbs you that much, I can recommend several places where you can move to and be guaranteed not to hear small airplanes. There are countries that restrict air travel by any other than military personnel. As such, the likelihood of encountering airplane noise will be limited. Unfortunately, these countries have other rules in place that restrict the freedoms of their population and you may be affected by them. Especially if you are of American descent. And I cannot guarantee your safety there either, as many of these countries are in constant states of war and rebellion, or intense poverty and corruption. And while it may not even be quiet, you certainly won't have to worry about airplane noise... |

Maybe you do, but I'm more interested in it having plenty of alternate landing spots (i.e. large fields)... Of course this usually also results in disturbing the fewest people possible, but that is rather low on my priority list... |

"Small" misspelled notwithstanding, an appropriate usenet poster name on this topic?? Anyway, I live on 3/4 mile centerline from the field where my small plane is based. Small plane noise is no biggie, and my neighbors don't bitch at all. Even bizjets -- if not the newer generation which are really quiet, their velocities are such the event is half over through one's reaction time. Like what really frosts me is noise from neighbors' lawn mowers, especially lawn tractors. I mean they're really nice people and all, but if I can afford a small plane, why those people should have the common courtesy to buy top-shelf, with a real good muffler, like one new John Deere I heard. Why, I never realized how loud my cheapass Craftsman weed eater was, 'til I replaced it with actually another cheapass Toro on sale but starts real quick. I couldn't look like a dork wearing hearing protection like the instructions show, especially when neighbors know I fly a little airplane up there on departure from said field. Ooooh....the event which makes me so mad I could get myself arrested. Like the music from the ice cream vans cruising at 5 mph. If I hear Scott Joplin in annoying electronic tones at 85dB just one more time (like little kids recognize Scott Joplin), I just might grab a shotgun and take out those big bullhorn speakers atop the van. Those disgusting little kiddies (a la W. C. Fields) just gotta have their ice cream on Mommy's money on a hot day, or the small businessman driving the van is just trying to earn a living. Gotta be nice to have so few problems that what minor, fleeting, things other people do can be such a nuisance. Like seeing folks driving and yapping on a cell phone in probably a pure social call, esp one of the two genders. To self: enough already!! ;-) Fred F. |

Who are you to tell the FAA what they should do? And why do you think it should be announced on a newsgroup concerned with pilot issues? Keep your day job -- you'll never make it as a politican! |

Troll troll troll your boat...
On an aviation theme I blew my Commercial checkride yesterday. Completely zoned during the accuracy landings in my instructor's Bonanza. Bah. 100 feet sounds like a lot, but not when you're trying to hit a spot that size doing 75 mph. Time for more practice. "daffy" wrote in message oups.com...
