1. Low flying airplanes and helicopters over residential areas outside of the prescribed flight paths. Helicopter pictured hovering approximately 150 feet above residential area.
2. Flight and ground operations in violation of the curfew.
3. Use of aircraft auxiliary power units (APU) instead of the quieter ground units. Commercial jet pictured with it's jets and apu facing residential. Airline passengers are also subjected to fumes and noise from jets and apu's as they walk to and from the terminal/aircraft.
4. Allowing unrestricted access to aircraft with greater than Stage 3 noise levels. Left, Navy F18D Hornet, two seat attack/fighter carrier jet, two afterburning pure jets. Right, Lockheed Jetstar, four pure turbojets, seats ten. The Navy Hornet's noise level is way beyond Stage 2. The Jetstar is a Stage 2 jet and is extremely loud.
5. Present takeoff procedures (steep climb) places an intolerable noise burden on some Peninsula Communities.
6. Allowing premature right turns over residential areas after takeoff.
7. The area for jet and propeller airplane runup is not designed to stop noise.
8. Allowing practice take off and landings and practice instrument approaches.
9. The Navy Flying Club is located near residential areas to the north and due to it's location forces takeoff and landing paths over residential areas. The Navy Flying Club has the same aircraft conducting multiple landings and takeoffs with one, maximum two people creating a nuisance for thousands of people.
10. Monterey Peninsula Airport promotes aviation operations on the north side which is too close to residential.
