Night Flights RSP Is Now Suggesting a Scheduled Flight Ban Between 2300 and 0600
Night Flights RSP is now suggesting a scheduled flight ban between 2300 and 0600. Of course, aviation night is normally 2300 to 0700. Also, cargo flights are predominantly chartered rather than scheduled and so there will be no night time ban on them. RSP is inconsistent in its new Noise Mitigation Plan about what would and would not be allowed. Para 1.4 says it won’t allow night take-offs, but it will allow unscheduled landings at night. Para 1.7 then says “Each landing and take-off at the airport during the Night Time Period is to count towards this annual quota” which means that night take-offs will be allowed. Which is it? RSP is still refusing to cap night ATMs. It says it will probably have 6.7 or 7.7 night flights a night on average. It is not clear to me how this relates to the scheduled night flights that will start at 0600. A few years ago Infratil submitted a night flight application for 7.7 flights a night. Infratil asked for a Quota Count of 1,995 a year. Independent experts Bureau Veritas concluded that the environmental downsides of these 7.7 night flights on average per night outweighed any socio-economic gain for this level of night flights. The public voted overwhelmingly against this proposal. TDC did not approve the proposal. Canterbury did not support the proposal. The RSP proposal is for roughly the same number of night flights (as far as we can tell as there no cap) but for a much higher quota count of 3,028. -

C ONTENTS TO J UNE 2017 AIRFIELD REVIEW The Journal of the Airfield Research Group The journal was initially called Airfield Report , then ARG Newsletter, finally becoming Airfield Review in 1985. The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself. -
