where to see routes on internet?

Buy a place as close as possible to a nuclear power plant,
or a presidential residence or get ear plugs. Airplanes can
fly almost anywhere. Best to live in a all concrete jungle
so there are no leaf blowers or lawn mowers. A small town
without bus service will be quiet.
Cozumel should be very quiet, but you'll need a boat.

The guy was not one of the nutjobs who want to close
all airports because they inconvenience him (except when they
actually do need transportation), but he asked politely how
to find information that might help him choose a better place
for him when he moves.

I mean, we do criticize (and rightfully so) people who move
near an airport and then complain about it, but this guy is
actually taking steps to avoid doing just that. Why not
give him some useful info?

The only thing I could think of for him to do would be to
get the relevant sectional and terminal charts and ask a
local pilot to interpret them for him. I'd be more than
happy to do that if he was moving nearby.

I agree.

(My 2 cents) When I was looking for a house in McAllen, TX (MFE), I noted
where the airport was and the houses I was looking at. My friends (and
realtor) kept asking me why I was avoiding certain neighborhoods and I
mentioned that the airlines seem to pass over those. Most realtors don't
have a clue about that.

I have a friend in Cedar Rapids (CID) that lives in the same neighborhood as
the local (head?) controller lives, thus very few planes fly over his house.

You *avoided* areas with airplanes? Geez, Greg, what's up with that?

;-)

Personally, I love having our house adjacent to the 3-mile final
approach path to our main calm-wind runway here in Iowa City.
(Admittedly we don't get a lot of departures east of town, which
largely saves us from the noise.)

That's another good thing for the original poster to check. Make sure
he's on the approach side of town in relation to the most commonly-used
runway. Planes passing over at low-power settings are not bothersome.

The GA I didn't care about, it was the airline traffic that flew into MFE
that I didn't want to be too near.

I now live on 1.5 mile final to 13 here in Fairmont. I've thought about
complaining to the city about the local airplane noise -- not enough of it!

that's very true; I live right under the short final (less than 2nm)
of one of the 32 runways of Moffett Federal Airfield; for one thing
there is not much traffic, but interesting a/c land there, from AF1 or
2, a huge Antonov, F18s, C130s, various helicopters, etc.,
really cool :-), but in the last two years that I have lived here, I
saw only one aircraft (a C130) take off from 14 (and I reckon it was
part of whatever training thing they were doing) right over my house;
it is really no bother at all; when I work at home, I keep my VHF on
the tower frequency in case I miss something :-) (my cat however,
is scared silly by the F18s, other aircraft are ok, regardless of
size or noise levels...)

There is a job title, real estate agent... Airplanes are a
fact of life. Just as waterfowl migrate, airplanes migrate.
Some things are daily and some are seasonal, like football
season near a college town.

He has the mistaken I'd that airplanes follow routes and
they do to an extant near terminal areas, particularly Class
B airspace.
