From: Palomar Airport Action Network
PAAN Participants;
I am forwarding the C4FA Announcement below, in case you have not received it directly.
In addition to the info provided by C4FA, note the following additional details for PAAN Participants ONLY.
- We currently have 12 monitors operational in locations surrounding the airport north and south and also in Escondido, San Marcos and Vista!
- On average, approximately 50% of 400 flights per day, as recorded at one or more of our monitors, exceed the 65 decibels acceptable noise threshold. Many locations record sound levels in the 70s and 80s, which are 2 to 4 times the acceptable level.
- We are also recording a significant amount of flights which deviate from the recommended flight paths.
Instead they turn north, south, east, west of the airport directly impacting every neighborhood within 4 miles.
- Many of the flights also fly lower than an acceptable and safe altitude, which the County represents as calculated from sea level. We are working on a formula that will show the altitude from the ground elevation at the point of the monitors that pick up the sound. (Reflecting more accurately our lived experience when the flights come over our home)
The result of our efforts exposes that the County approach to noise, belies the fact that this is a NOISE IMAPACTED Airport, which has avoided conducting adequate noise studies (since 2008), so as not to discredit their attempt to expand to commercial aircraft use.
Please speak to your HOA representative if you would like to look at the data for the monitor in your location.
Or feel free to contact me, and either I or someone else can answer any questions you may have.
I also hope to schedule a live/Zoom access meeting as soon as our Dashboard is complete, so as to unveil our detailed data and findings.
Regards……Dom Betro 951-660-5946
