[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s always someone trying to deflect from the real issue. That people should stop buying in these areas or if they do get it for cheap because you’ll pay in chronic disease, stress etc [/quote]

Classic DCUM. There are no bad polices and there's never a reason to fight to improve the status quo. It's all about people who made poor choices and their problems aren't deserving of attention.

"improving the status quo" means sloughing off airplane noise to areas where people bought houses that were not in the flight path previously. Seems kinda selfish.[/quote]

Not really. Dispersing the flights more would mean occasional noise for many instead of constant noise for some. Sounds more fair to me and not that disruptive toward those not affected by the noise now. [/quote]

Dispersing flights would make the airspace unnecessarily more hazardous and chaotic. The skies are already congested. Concentrating flight patterns isn't about screwing certain neighborhoods on the ground; it's all about keeping the flying public safe.

As others have said, places like the Palisades have dealt with airplane noise from DCA for decades. This isn't a new issue. Frankly, I have no sympathy for whiners who knew (or chose to ignore) that they were buying into a neighborhood that sits either adjacent to or underneath flight paths.[/quote]

I would love to know who the two single people with the tens of thousands of complaints are. They do seem representative of Palisades as a whole though...buy in a flight path THEN try to change it. They think the FAA would have dozens of different flight paths throughout the day because they made a bad decision is the answer. I wonder if anybody knows just how dangerous landing at DCA already is? Adding an array of takeoffs and approaches would be sheer chaos. [/quote]

You are ignoring the fact that there was a change in 2015 that significantly affected noise levels in that area that was implemented without any real public input. Those who bought prior to that can be rightfully upset in my opinion. An "unsuspecting buyer" who purchases now after a 15 minute viewing while someone is going around with a leaf blower in the yard has only themselves to blame. All the info about the flightpaths is public and anyone can spend some time in the neighborhood to figure out whether the noise is an issue for them.[/quote]

Looking at the graphic of pre and post 2015, seems the change was outside of the DC line and Palisades was where planes have always flown.  Before 2015, it was more dispersed over MoCo but still centralized over the Potomac adjacent to DC.[/quote]

Flight paths change, they did and they will continue changing.  It's messed up to have to blame buyers for not anticipating that one day they may end up under a "highway in the sky" where planes will fly every minute over the homes in their neighborhood.   Areas that are far removed from the airports and even miles inland from the Potomac still have airline noise even if planes fly high up.  It's still noisy if there is a plane flying overhead every minute one af

I think they are starting to do some better planning and using different paths on different days.  But since this seems to be changing, those of you so smug to have done your research to not be under a flight path today may be under a flight path tomorrow.  There is literally nothing that will ensure you won't.  You can be many miles from an airport and all the way inland and still get high flying planes in a "bee-line" over your area.
