At some time during the night, I was woken up at work by the unusually loud droning noise of some aircraft, I didn't bother to look at what time it was as I just wanted to get back to sleep, I always thought aircraft louder than a certian amount were banned from flying between 10pm and 6am, this aircraft was really loud as I had all windows shut but it still woke myself and others in the building.
Just in the off chance does anybody know if noisey aircraft are banned overnight? If it's the case then I think I'll have a moan to LBA and see what happens, particularly in view of the fact I need to be alert at work the next day as making a mistake could be very costly in more ways than one.

Leeds flying is not banned between the hours of 10pm and 6am, hence the reason for Thomas cook operating horrible horrible night flights to deep turkey & other obsurce places. And for jet2 running their canaries, cyprus & turkish programme in the afternoon getting back in the early hours. However they are certain aircraft that do not fit into certain noise level brackets, thus breaking the general rule of quietness in the night. A310 from pakistan usually the ones that wake me up.
You waking up could be one of two - Your a light sleeper or wasn't asleep "properly" or whats called a go around. Usually it would be the latter as in the morning fog tends to hang up & around the airport.
- As for complaining - did you live there before the airport expanded or was the airport there before where you live was built?

Sorry just to be clearer I was on site at work in the sleep room, were expected to sleep on site anything from once to three times a week ensuring someone is there to look after residents who would struggle to cope if something happens overnight, e.g if a fire, burgulary or other incident happens. The house was built well after the airport was but that dosen't give the airport the right to allow noisey planes to fly after 10pm, that's a bit like the government allowing anybody to play music loud at any time of the day or night.

It probably does if they were allowed to before the building was constructed. |

Just to add my 2peneth, would you complain if it was the police helicopter, or the air ambulance during the day. I live on the flight path (my choice) and I often wake up to the noise of aircraft (I work shifts) but not once have I even thought of complaining. If you do not like the noise of aircraft move away from the airport. Its NIMBY's like this that prevent this country from expanding (see Heathrow expansion plans)..

Its like the residents of Headingley that complain about the parking & traffic problems on game day. Headingley has been there over 100 years, now unless you're mega old and have been there since birth, you have no right to complain. You moved in knowing full well that the stadium was there and the problems it creates.

Personally I think the airport should have moved ages ago to that big plot of land down south east Leeds nowhere near any built up areas, and just to clarify once again I work in Yeadon not Live in Yeadon, I'm not going to move from work, that would be daft.

So they should move and spend millions on building a new airport as well as uprooting all their staff so you can get your head down at work?

In defence, the airport would be located much closer to the city centre, and would also benefit from good motorway links and it would be much easier to include rail transport as the rail line from Woodlesford to Leeds passes much closer to my proposed site (quite easy to include a diverted section as no tunnel work involved, only a bridge over the Aire Calder needed) than the Harrogate Line does to the current airport site. Back in the early to mid 90s, the skies were quiet as no flying was allowed after 10pm so people on the flight path tollerated the airport. Niose is now a problem, traffic is now a BIG problem especally if a nearby road is closed and the airport has nowhere to expand unless green belt land is used. At least if it's located on that scruffy part of South East Leeds bordered by Halton Moor, Cross Green, Stourton and Woodlesford/Rothwell, no green belt land would be needed (although there is a couple of nature reserves in that area, possible to move them though), traffic wouldn't be a problem and it could be as noisey as it liked as no built up areas would be nearby. At the moment the South East/Aire Valley area is reserved for Industrial Developemt, however look at Cross Green, units empty, scruffy units falling down or demolished, loads of spare brown field sites and theirs that big area of land where the school used to be, why not develop Industrial units on those sites.
Oh and just to add, I live in South Leeds and work up Yeadon using public transport so it's very possible with well times bus services (which the airport could arrange as it does now with Centrebus) for employees to do what I do the other way.
