1. Brandon O’Reilly (CEO TAG) to Eagle Radio on 27th March 14:
“Local people will see aeroplanes climb more quickly into the airways and not fly low over their communities.
The benefit we believe is more precise flight paths, aircraft flying higher so away from local communities at a higher level and away from other airports around this area."

So why are TAG proposing to LOWER airspace al the way to the South Coast

The shaded area represents the proposed narrow corridors that flights would be concentrated into. This represents use runway 24, which is most common (80% of the time)
Indicates the likely number of flights that Farnborough predict within each corridor in 2019
Indicates the likely highest noise level from overflights in the corridors as indicated by TAG. Refer to the separate table for an explanation of how this dB level may be perceived.
Note that most arrivals and departures would be at a significantly lower altitude than they are currently due to the lowered airspace – they could sound up to twice as loud as they do now for currently overflown areas.
The background shading shows the density of current aircraft – it can be seen that the majority of areas will only benefit by less than one overflight per day. (key below)

General Comments:
TAG overstate the benefits – large numbers of people are quoted as being better off. However, they have not quantified these benefits and made it very difficult to interpret. In reality, benefits are likely to be marginal.
The negative impacts have been understated – there will be significant changes to the noise climate for people under the proposed flight paths.
They are not following CAA best guidelines on presenting noise impact issues in an ACP.
The information supplied is unclear, difficult to interpret and misleading to the layperson.

12. Impact of the Southerly 2500 corridor
The proposed low level 2500 Airspace South of Farnborough creates a serious safety and environmental issues
The creation of a Pinch-point over Petersfield where all GA traffic is forced around at much lower altitude than now
A significant narrowing of the corridor between London TMA and the Southampton zone from over 20 miles to 6 miles
Significant increase in noise / emissions over local towns
