Article Excerpt:

THE AIRPORT OWNERS WANT TO…

  • be able to schedule flights throughout the night
  • increase the number of night flights from 2 a week to 7.7 a night
  • operate a "Quota Count" system: every plane has a QC number, the louder the plane, the larger the number. The airport wants an annual Quota Count total - a "plane noise budget" for night flights
  • be able to fly planes up to and including QC4 (a 747 jumbo) at any time throughout the night
  • apply the night flight Quota Count to planes flying between 11:30pm and 6am, even though the standard definition of "night" is 11pm to 7am.

... and much more
