Hickory NC Airport Flight Pattern

[HBYardSale]

I'm looking at a house that is about 1 mile north of the airport -- right in
the flight path of the north-south runway.

I would like to find out how many planes a day fly in/out of the airport and
typically how many of these use the N-S runway.

Any help or a referral would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean KHKY, Hickory Regional, then the AirNav web site says that it
gets on average 125 operations a day. However, no indication of how many
on each runway, since it would depend on the winds. The other runway
(6-24) is longer, so that's where the bigger planes, if there are any.
The AirNav site says that it's closed to airplanes bigger than 30 seats
without prior permission, so it probably doesn't get any big traffic.

But regardless, if you're going to be sensitive about airport noise, can I
respectfully suggest that you stay the **** away from the airport? The US
has too many airports that are under pressure to close from people who
moved to the neighbourhood knowing that there was airport there already,
and we don't need another.

E40 is pretty much a glorified cow pasture. Mostly powered parasails
and the like there lately. I live 1 mile from the approach end of the E-
W runway (rwy 24) at Hickory Regional and i'd estimate that 90% of the
traffic uses the E-W runway.

You don't say which airport (they both have N S runways) so you may want
to check the following links:

** LOL!! Good advice, I'll say! Myself, I ain't too worried. Right now I'm now
living directly under the approach of Long Beach Airport. Them big old Jet
Blues come sailing over about every hour or so. And, oh yeah, I hear them. I
only have single-pane windows and even so, they don't bother me a tall. Long as
they don't empty their toilets over my house.

You're exactly right, my good man! Kind of the same way that city folks move up
into the woods and then complain because they live in the woods. (You gotta
love 'em, eh?)

I know the type. I used to live in rural splendor (deer at my bird
feeder, cross country skiing out the back yard) and commute to the city to
work, but unlike many of the commuters I wasn't agitating for better
roads, more convenient gas stations, StarBucks. I figured the bad roads
were what kept it the way I liked it.

good to hear that. Also though be aware that just like buying a mutual
find, "past performance is no guarantee of future returns." Someday
KHKY could expand, so don't count on the 125 ops/day on airnav.com and
then if it grows to 250 or 500 or if they get airline service, start
complaining. Understand that it's an airport and could expand. However
you seem to already have that perspective so hopefully I'm preaching to
the choir.

Btw, I flew into Long Beach last month, and while it's not the busiest
airport it's got the most interesting traffic: airliners, DC-3's,
private planes, 'copters, blimps, etc...

Careful there. Our local strip gets way more complaints about the powered chutes than they do airplanes. It seems they cruise much
lower and their speed dictates that they hang around a lot longer. I think they look like fun, so easy on the flames here, but they
remind me a little of jet-skis that way.
