The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management wants to know how residents aged 16 and older in the Netherlands experience their living environment. In that context, it was investigated whether people experience nuisance from the noise caused by GA (“small aviation”). T
he research shows that people experience little inconvenience from small aircraft. Most of the questions in the survey were asked of people who experience noise from GA (so-called “observers”). They are hardly concerned about their safety due to this type of air traffic, except about drones. They do worry about that.
Nearly two thirds of the observers can also enjoy overflying light aircraft. RIVM advises to continue to monitor the impact of helicopters and drones on the perceived quality of the living environment.

There you go. Stop trying to kill GA – it’s the feed for the airlines and transporters and people like it!
