Not surprising that you are not sure, because you are not a pilot. To

the rules and procedures are clear, and vector departures and arrivals may

If only things were so black and white.


Well, radar vectors are pretty cut and dried - you go where they say.
The arrivals are designed to avoid Paris, but they often vector them right up
to the line - With a 1nm tolerance in B-RNAV a good many of them will be over
the line. Departures often fly over Paris, but they are above 6500ft, where
there is no restriction.

I agree that airplane noise in that and most other cities is insignificaznt
compared with road traffic noise. . .
