@Nomad Thank you for your response. Which was obviously backed by a host to technical data, for otherwise how can you say what I said was Rubbish. If you could please share that technical data with the group, that would be very useful, for I am perfectly happy to be proved wrong. I do however as a matter of course only rely on facts, not hearsay or other anecdotal methods like emotion when discussing subjects as important as these. So as said previously, if you could enlighten me to the facts that "rubbish" what I have said then I am happy to proven wrong, otherwise it can be safely assumed that as I have given facts and you have not that I am correct and that it is actually you who are talking "rubbish"

That's from inside the cockpit. which is like being on the inside of a drum hence it sounds so loud. There are three sounds you can hear there, the engine exhaust noise, the wind over the airframe and the biggest noise which you CANNOT hear on the ground is the vibration of the airframe caused by the vibration of the engine (in a car this is deadened for the occupants with sound deadening material, but as that is heavy it is not used in aircraft) The noise outside the aircraft is less than a car driving past your driveway at 30mph. If you are going to object to a planning application, you have to bear in mind FACTS not conjecture.

Apart from STEM jobs for your children and not having to pay in an increase in taxes due to the £66bn (that GA brings to the UK economy) being withdrawn because GA dies due to short sightedness Of the local population.

Sir Jets will NEVER EVER be landing at a grass strip. The planes flying from this strip will be small, light aircraft. Most with very quiet rotax engines. It has been proven that a light plane flying overhead at 500 feet, ie on climbout, makes less noise than a car going past your house at 30mph. Stop using noise as an excuse, it is not a valid one.

GA, ie small planes contribute £3bn direct to the UK economy and £66bn indirectly. THATS why the government has agreed they are so important and hence the roadmap. Nimbys saying no are literally putting their heads in the ground. A mile of road will only take you one mile, but a mile of runway takes you all over the world. i fully support this development. Its a grass airfield, it will unlikely to be usable in winter due to waterlogging, it delivers STEM education skills to the local populace as well as giving opportunities for flight training, something that by the time the pilots whonare training now have completed will give them full careers. This is NOT a commercial airfield with jets, but a small training airfield for GA. Someone has mentioned above the cost of flight training. Well tbh what has that got to do with anyone apart from the person undertaking the training? Did anyone query and complain about the cost of your house or car? stop being nimbys and actually embrace something that will help give your children a future, ie STEM. Stop being nimbys and remember that if GA dies then that £66bn will have to be replaced by raising your taxes!
