Title: Lots of complaints from Holywood folk - Ezy94ey depart - 31st May 2023 - 20:51

Hi all.

There are lot of complaints from Holywood residents this morning, regarding EZY94EY's departure from the City last night.

To be fair, it take a sharp right over Holywood at around 1400ft. 

A local MLA has said she will complain to the Airport.  Goodluck with that.  Surely more important things for MLAs to be worrying about at the minute!

Probably from the same lot that travel to London for shopping, and west end trips etc. ::)

If you live near a flightpath, you have to expect some noise, I lived very close to BFS for 14 years and it never bothered me at all, quite the opposite :)
We didn`t have double glazing either, and no curfew at BFS.

Reminds me of my looking for a house near Landivisiau in Brittany a few years back, and getting warned in all the property groups in social media that I'd be tortured by jet noise. "I certainly hope so" was not the response they were expecting.

Looks like it was around 2000ft when it turned.

It was 8.50pm... noise isn't an issue at that time. People just like to moan.

From looking at the FR24 playback, he was at around 1500ft when the turned over the Wood.
