We used to set our watches while waiting for the transit bus as the first UPS flight landing at Dulles using 01C. They were as good as railroad time.
Uhhmmm, best economy ever!
cant read article because a ad pops up in front of article. Clean this up
Great indicator of a declining economy. Thanks creepy joe.
That's good to hear - we are often woken late at night or early mornings by UPS flights setting up for their approach to Cologne/Bonn - speed brakes in, flaps out, in a banking curve, which together make a thunderous roar.
I never had to use drag devices to descend into CGN because of their CDA approaches and their well trained ATC issuing clearances in a timely manner to easily comply with them in order to keep noise and drag devices to a minimum. Operators are subject to stiff penalties setting off noise detectors around the airport and threat of loss of access if it continues.
If you don't like airplanes then why live near the airport?
