airplane noise can impair young students

Not hard pressed at all. My home airport fills the bill. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danbury,_Connecticut

What a coinky-dink... I just moved my Lance up from Bridgeport to
Danbury. Which FBO do you keep your plane at Jose? Or do you rent?

Who will pay for the relocation of schools in order to accomodate the
nearby airport? (I assume you mean that the schools, rather than the
airport be relocated.)


The gubmint, who else?

Actually, the life expectancy of an airport is far longer than the life
expectancy of a school. My town has had the privilege of buying two new high
schools in the past thirty years. We only use one.

I'm a member of the Flying 20 Club (http://www.flying20club.org), and we
keep our planes (two Archers and a Dakota) at Reliant. I have some pics
of me and the Dakota at SnF last year I keep meaning to send to the
Alexis Rogues Gallery. Where's your Lance?

They built the high school football field where the old grass strip
airport was here at 4R7. "New" paved airport was built 3 or 4 miles
away. The grass strip prior to that was closer into town...

How does one "accomodate" something that was there decades before one
ever moved in?

I used to work off the end of the Miramar at UTC, there was serious
window gazing going on at all times.

Also I grew up in Fresno during the 70's and the Air National Guard
unit was outfitted with F106's. There was no noise like couple of those
birds screaming out of FAT at full afterburner. Class would pause, and
then go on.

Note to self: If there is an airport next door to the house I'm thinking
about buying, it's MY FAULT if I buy the house and don't like airplane
noise.

I live under Sandy River Arrival for PDX 28L and 28R...that's TWO
international airport runways also featuring a squadron of F-15s, and the
approach to Troutdale, so I have aircraft over my house all day. The PDX
heavies and F-15s lower their gear and throttle up about right over my
house. It's so damned loud I can't hear the neighbors' dogs barking.

Glorious! (But, to be fair, there were no jets, Arrivals or runways 28L
and 28R when my house was built. C'est la vie say the old folks...)

I know that airplane noise interrupts me at work.

I hear the plane and want to go flying!!!!

My office has two windows, one of which looks over ("under?") the VOR-DME-A
into KTEB. A fair amount of VFR traffic also crosses my view (likely
inbound to TEB as well).

It is quite disruptive. I've ceased taking my aviation radio into work,
which helps...but still, I see them and I want to join them.

I could easily see students having this problem. The solution is to give
them some experience with aviation. Get them to an airport, an aviation
museum, or - best - get them flying. It won't end the distraction (it
could make it worse if I'm to be an example {8^), but at least there'll be
that extra achievement too. And, with luck, motivation to study for [at
least] the PPL.

Seriously, I do wonder which is more time consuming: wishing I was flying
knowing that I can and do, or wishing that I was flying not knowing how to
get involved. The latter certainly seems more emotionally draining (not to
mention: just plain sad).

Get the kids flying, and see what that does to their memory and study
habits.

There IS such a program -- Wright Flight -- for middle schoolers, that
serves as a mentoring program, with an aviation theme:

New research shows that airplane noise can impair reading and memory
abilities of young students.

A team of researchers from Mexico, Bosnia, Latvia and the Ivory Coast
studied 50 children (ages 9-10 years old) who attended James Graham
Elementary in Newark, California. The researchers found that as
airplane noise around a school increased, students' reading
comprehension scores decreased. Airplane noise was also related to
lower scores on a memory recognition test. There was no relationship
between road (cars, trucks, motorcycles) traffic noise and reading or
memory test scores and the data were not related to the socioeconomic
status of students.

These results suggest that airplane noise may affect the ability of
children to learn in school. The scientists believe that airplane noise
may distract students from their schoolwork and lead to problems with
reading and memory. For example, children might tune out unwanted noise
such as that from an airplane, but in doing so, they will also pay less
attention to their teacher. Planes flying over a school may also
disrupt a teacher's ability to communicate with students.

Effective ways to fight airplane noise are needed. An obvious solution
would be to shut down the Palo Alto Airport.




HAHAHAHAAHAH....

Notice there is no work actually CITED to document their concerns...
Just random rantings...

Funny funny funny..

Vote for best troll of the week..
