Management previously apologised to communities that unexpectedly found themselves beneath relatively low-flying aircraft
In its circular to the community explaining the flight path changes, DAA said with other airfield airspace and parallel runway operations taken into account, safety regulations require departing aircraft to follow the new SIDs “which must diverge by a minimum of 30 degrees northwest”.
It said that from Thursday some areas including St Margaret’s, Shallon and The Ward Cross would continue to be overflown as anticipated. Others such as Oldtown and Ballyboughal would also continue to be overflown but at higher altitudes. Skephubble, Kilsallaghan and Rolestown would no longer be directly overflown by jet aircraft but would remain “exposed to a certain amount of aviation noise, albeit less than currently”.Dublin Airport flight-paths: ‘Windows are literally rattling’ when planes take off, says residentThe variance in effects from the changes were met with scepticism. “The first plane came at about 9.15am and I heard it in the bedroom.
“There was disappointment but no great surprise. It isn’t solving the problem, it’s moving the problem around.”
