If it were routed to cross the shoreline any further North then it would have to be lower over a populated area. The article is about people's qualitative perceptions of change in a place over time, based on those people's stories. 300 foot differential is harassment. The flight was somewhat earlier than usual tonight. pepperkat, [Portion removed. Most cross 101 at about 4000 ft., 200 kts, and vertical speed of ~ -1200 ft/min, then slow down and flatten out after the last turn to SFO. Its efforts on a regional level have also run into political hurdles. Why does there need to be an alarmist response to canceling 1 night flight?

The law that makes curfews "illegal" is actually called a "Noise and Capacity Act" (they've been "duped" before). See, for example, the FAA's "Implications of Environmental Requirements for NextGen," in which the agency asserts that creating highly concentrated "precise navigation" flight paths would "reduce fuel burn/emissions and noise exposure" overall by increasing noise exposure and affecting surface air quality concentrations "in some areas." Looks like a "sound" air traffic policy to me. WHY do they send the night flights over highly populated areas. All rights reserved. Once you get familiar with the tools that are already there then you have the same impact as everyone else - you another voter in the complaint war. Slightly smaller than a 737.
