Default No touch and go's?

So would I be in accordance with the noise abatement policy if I just
did one ILS, land, then quietly depart? The way I see it, I'm not
making any more noise than a transient that decides to land there,
taxi off to get fuel, then departs again.


Yes, you would be acting in accordance with the policy. And you are right
you are not, but come on John this isn't your first rodeo is it? Since when
did rules have to be logical?

There is probably some group near the airport that wants to shut the place
down completely. There are those that don't want it shut down. There was a
probably some negotiation and this was the outcome.

With that in mind if you start doing this every evening they might go back
into negotiation and the outcome might be a worse rule.
