[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With this map, it’s important to remember that MOST OF DC is nowhere near a flight path. So just avoid the flight path. It won’t change much.

According to this map our area is also not in a flight path, but there are few scarce flight paths nearby, near enough to obviously hear the noise.  Such is true for DC, you just have to be near at least one line.  The bloggers are close to the no-fly zone, but also relatively close to the many paths by the river.  People don't notice if there are a few planes flying distance away in audible range, but infrequently.  They do notice when there is a plane flying in audible range every minute or less for hours on end.  This means that they are either near lots of paths or directly under in the midst of them, or it means that the line closest to them (if they aren't in the flight paths) is very heavily used.  This map doesn't tell you which paths are heavily used, it just shows how many possible paths each areas has, doesn't it?   Also if you look at the map it's clear that that restrictive zones isn't what makes areas quiet, it's the way flight paths converge on certain areas.  National mall is still very very close to many paths, so you hear a lot of noise, but it's restricted airspace, so you won't have plane over your head a lot, but still near.  See what I mean?  It's not about restricted areas that protects the residents in some neighborhoods from noise.. it's just about how these flight paths were designed, it's unfair to some areas that get tons of paths near them while traffic can be dispersed in more directions and still spare protected space.  You are just lucky for now, but this may change and protected space won't protect you (one little blob of National Observatory) when this family isn't protected from the noise being close to a bigger protected area.  You are just lucky that planes aren't diverted to fly your way, they may one day and observatory blob will still be spared, but you aren't.  [/quote]
