Trainees, or those doing renewals/type conversions, are accompanied by instructors. You are in no danger. It is a highly skilled exercise to fly into an airfield on instruments, which is what they are doing. You get too high so you decrease rpm. You get too low so you have to power up, and so it goes on. It's a decreasing sine wave. With practice you come in one the right line so there are fewer needs for adjustment. To get the line right is a very exacting task, believe me. Personally, I would rather they did the practice over Ramsgate than when I'm going for a relaxing holiday somewhere!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-38104569540609572782009-02-01T18:53:00.000+00:002009-02-01T18:53:00.000+00:00Oops done it again Richard warned me about posting...Oops done it again Richard warned me about posting after a glass or two should read hereMichael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-3606701761419073542009-02-01T18:46:00.000+00:002009-02-01T18:46:00.000+00:00Well hare are Laura’s views on the airport http://...Well hare are Laura’s views on the airport <A HREF="http://thanetonline.blogspot.com/2009/02/laura-sandys-on-manston-airport.html" REL="nofollow">http://thanetonline.blogspot.com/2009/02/laura-sandys-on-manston-airport.html</A>Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-30945430492605338832009-02-01T18:45:00.000+00:002009-02-01T18:45:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-21619543529813483852009-02-01T18:01:00.000+00:002009-02-01T18:01:00.000+00:00Peter, the post about Cliffe was from me.

Bear in mind that the r...Blimey don't people go on! Bear in mind that the runway at Manston is 10 and 28, i.e. pretty much east to west. With the prevailing westerly winds, they use 28 more than 10 (i.e. landing over Ramsgate rather than taking off). They also do this if there is a crosswind (i.e. they could choose either end of the runway). The reason - to reduce noice over Ramsgate.<BR/><BR/>Landing is normally a lot less noisy than taking off. Much of the reason we experience noise on landing over Ramsgate is because training flights are precisely that. Half the time the pilots get too low and have to put their engines on (and half the time they are too high so you don't notice). They are training and get it wrong! We all have to learn. It wouldn't be half as bad with commercial pilots who are flying in there regularly. And the number of flights is seriously not worth getting worked up about, compared to the economic benefits and connectivity to the area. Clearly people have nothing better to do in Thanet than moan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-12622484270781369482009-01-31T15:53:00.000+00:002009-01-31T15:53:00.000+00:00S.M.E.G.

Their own figures.<BR/><BR/>One nights disturbed sleep a week for families, who have members away for work for 14 hours a day does not make for a pleasant lifestyle. Children being awoken after 10pm on a school night. These are the stories we are getting from east Kent residents.<BR/>This growth is unstainable and a major concern - overall flights have only grown 19% in the same time. <BR/><BR/>Tony, pete is quite happy to encourage the lies about manston our local politicos spout, and contradict himself with his green credentials. If he gets sensitive about getting negative comments, he needs to give up or thicken his skin. Either way, I am sure he would be happy you are sticking up for him.<BR/><BR/>8.58, plenty of facts on our postings, nothing but. Same on our blog. The mud slinging is only in response to outrageous continual comment from pete and don, who both seem to have sniffed too much kerosene during their love affair with all things aviation. Serious issues call for serious debate and these two are not serious. We take what you say onboard, and won't be engaging them again. <BR/><BR/>I ask other, anti- airport posters to counter their nonsense though please.Head, SMEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065972461608526811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-86701177013587854832009-01-31T10:06:00.000+00:002009-01-31T10:06:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Head, SMEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065972461608526811noreply@blogger.com
