Are you concerned about the dramatic increase in low flying aircraft over your community? If so try to attend the Monday August, 27 Town Village Aircraft Safety & Noise Abatement Committee meeting. A very large turnout is expected and many elected officials and candidates for elected office will be attending.

Most people don't realize that the FAA put 67,612 planes over communities in Nassau County in 2011. These were arrivals into JFK 22L and represented 32% of all arrivals into JFK.
They need to bring that 33% up another 17% to make it fair for all. I should go and tell them im tired of my parents having 77% of the air traffic come directly over their house for the past 92 years, we need to bring another 17% over nc

Sounds like a blast, but I'm already going to the Angry Housewives of Nassau County's Formal Inquiry Committee Community Hearing on Thunderstorm Abatement and the Busybody League's Long Island Ladies Auxiliary Chapter Inquisition on Unnecessary Duration and Coldness of Winter on that date.

They need to fire the Math teacher at your parent's district first, before considering upping the %.
And 32% is way too high considering 9 out of 10 planes come in from the West/SW.
He's saying 33% come over nc per year and his 33% is 67k, so another 17% makes it fair if it was 67% on the other side but he is apparently missing nearly another 90,000 flights or more to have 33% of nearly 300k flights a year where he says 67k is coming over nc is only 24% so it is putting 77% on the other areas which have 77% more than his 24%
LIMA it is quite obvious that you have a mathematical background. However the reality is that JFK has four separate runways and planes could land and take off from each end. This means that in a perfect world each of the eight different runway options would get 12.5% of all arrivals and departures. However the communities under 22L get tortured with 32% of all JFK arrivals.
I'm sure you don't consider this fair or equitable?
I live in northern Franklin Square, a stone's throw from Stewart Manor and have no problems with the planes. It is the reality of living near one of the world's busiest airports.
BTW it could be worse: arrivals are much more quiet than departures.
Air Noise is subjective. It affects everyone differently. You also have to understand that if you live under a flight path, it is very different than living say...1/2 a mile away. The neigborhoods under the constant and consistent flight paths are really negatively impacted.
Try sleeping when a 747 comes over your home at less than 2,000 feet on arrival. Unless you sleep like a log, it WILL affect you. This is quality of life we are talking about.
We are asking for more equitable distribution. 67,000 jets over your home is unacceptable in any universe. 32% may not sound that much, but it is by far the most used runway for arrivals at JFK.
Now before some of you start with "you knew what you were buying" and you live "close to the airport" lines, you need to study the issue a lot more closely. Most people don't sit and study and track exact flight paths when they are busy trying to juggle a mortgage, home inspection, and the other myriad of headaches during a home buy. Secondly, Crv1010 lives 10 miles from the airport. He's not exactly in Cedarhurst. If the FAA respected proper altitudes, none of us living in central Nassau would be having this discussion.
