broad swathe for arrivals into Gatwick 4 C502 - S2/3 - To centre arrivals along one centre line would create unfair stress on those who would be overflown 4 C504 - CAGNE EAST 329 C504 - Q1B 328 C504 - Q1B - S1/1 - Complete - I believe that as these proposals are not relevant to our area, they are best responded to by those affected 328 C504 - Q2C 2 C504 - Q2C - S1/1 - Complete - I support the most practical width that causes the least disturbance to those being overflown 2 CONCERNS / GENERAL 271 All of the above needs to be considered 10 Concerns about the altitude of flights / low flights
