Private air strip..... yes or no???

I don't have answers for the technical and/or zoning portions of your
questions because I don't have sufficient information... I gather the
runway is in the planning stage so it is possible that anticipation is worse
than reality.. Discussion with the neighbor/pilot is the best method to
arrive at a solution that all can live with..

Consider that if his property border is 1500 feet from your buildings and
given that he will likely be airborne well before reaching the boundary of
his property, it is likely that the departing airplanes can turn enough to
avoid flying directly over your head...

As a person who also owns acreage and lives a quarter mile off the road, I
appreciate not hearing civilization too loudly, also... However, it is
rarely possible in this modern world to avoid noise... The farmers who work
the adjacent farms can be heard for well over a mile when their turbocharged
tractors, combines, etc., are working... The diesel pump for the half mile
long, circle irrigation system on the next section to my south can be heard
clearly at night in the summer thump thump thump all night long The
neighbor 3/4 of a mile to my southeast has music parties in the summer,
outside, and the banging drums and wailing horns are amazingly loud for the
distance...

Anyway, good luck with settling this between you and your neighbor as it is
tough living when there is animosity between neighbors...

Well, I found a reference that translates it as "plea". The language is Yiddish.

A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that
you look forward to the trip.

This interested me, as once someone becomes a pilot, the first thing they
want is an airplane, the second might be their own private airstrip. For me
anyway.
I think you've got a big problem on your hands. Just from reading the posts
from the last couple days, I get the impression your 'meeting' with this guy
will have you coming in all friendly but ready to pounce once you hear what
you expect to hear. It'll then slide into 'too bad, I can do it if I want
and theres not much you can do about it'. Good luck.
Now I see why people live at airparks instead.
I can see your point that his 'dream' shouldnt destroy yours, but it's not
as if theres going to be touch and go's going on all day long. It'll be
occasional, and not last too long. You got a Harley? You do anything
noisy? If you put your home that close to the possibility of being
disturbed and had all those acres to work with, well, that's just dumb,
especially if you want peace and quiet.
How do you know he's "got all this money" etc, you've got all that land, he
probably thinks the same of you, may have no sympathy. That's no excuse to
intentionally make your life a living hell either though.
I think you made your mind up before coming here, regardless of your "any
comments would be appreciated" line.
And "just an average white" from Idaho calling someone a redneck is sure
calling the kettle black. Got a cult goin on up there?
I'm JOKING, take a breath.

You are correct John, Farlang means French or Caucasian. It is their
way of saying France.

"Farlang" is Laotian, You do not Roll your toungue when you say this
word in Laotian. You pronounce the "L" in the second syllable. The
eastern part of Thailand used to be Laos, and the people from that
region pronounces it like the Laotians.

"Farrang" is Thai, you roll your toungue or pronounce the "R" in the
second syllable.

Alternatively, if you have 500 acres, put your own airstrip in
away from your house, build some hangars and rent the use to
your neighbour.

You got a great idea if it would work for both parties. Unfortunately,
I honestly planned on penning up animals like cows in the general area
under the runway and my house as I said was to be nearby on the top of
a hill.

Cows don't give a damn, and are sometimes even curious of the
flying machines. The airstrip I use has cows and sheep around the
runway, fenced off one one end with a permanent fence which keeps
the cows off the runway. and on other sides with a moveable electric
fence to keep the sheep off. Half way down one edge of the runway
is another fence which borders a field containing deer.

The deer can actually get out and like grazing on the runway. They will
part as I taxi past then get back on. They will part again as I stick on
full thottle and start moving towards them.

The cows are on two sides of me as I do my run-up. Most just ignore
me (even the ones directly behind me in my propwash!) but some stop
what they're doing and watch. On approach I come in right over the top
of them as the runway starts just the other side of the fence. They're
never bothered.

Thanks Bryan. Nice to get the straight poop.

"Farlang" hasn't posted for a while. Maye he took the good advice many
gave him and went and talked to his neighbor and found he doesn't have
a big problem? Let us hope so.

Don't you think the first step before really worrying too much about it
is to find out what he plans to do with the airstrip. Like you said if
he plans to take off for personal flight now and then its probably not a
big deal. But if he plans to run a business off of it, it probably is.

Find out the facts before wasting energy on worrying about.

Take Care,

Nathan



I was hoping for a more mature newsgroup. A more accurate saying would
be,"We all have rights but not the right to impose on other's rights".

So far I can only perceive a "redneck" mentality from the replies. You
people question if "I" love airplanes but I question if "YOU" love
airplanes because if you did you would be concerned to help preserve
this instead of thinking you can do anything you please. I think I
already commented that I didn't know the extent of what the other
landowner intended to do. One flight one day of the month would be
peachy. One flight every day, every hour, a crop dusting business ran
out of the home or whatever would be extreme. This is not a question
of pilots fighting for their rights because it is clear there is not
enough land in this example to not violate the rights of others.

Frankly I would be more worried about the noise from his mower. It will be running for hours keeping the grass cut.
