2012 UPDATES RELATED TO ORMOND BEACH AIRPORT NOISE AND SAFETY ISSUES
(most recent is first)
From November 2011 to January 1, 2012 the flights over Tomoka Estates
seemed to be less but then again, I traveled a lot during the month so I was not
home to document bad days. Also, Embry Riddle was probably on Christmas
break which decreased the number of their aircraft I saw during that period.
2012 starts off as a year that I don't expect any improvement in the noise
because the City of Ormond Beach staff has stated in the past year that there is
really nothing they can do except ask for cooperation from the flight schools to
follow the noise abatement procedures and suggested flight path.
Euro American
School of Aviation is still the major problem
flight school, followed by Embry Riddle and then occasionally Sunrise Aviation
and some new aircraft showing up lately registed to Fly 4 Fun.
Going into April 2012 the noise and traffic has increased significantly.
See several emails below after Feb. 15. (these were delayed being added to this
page)
Unfortunately, there was a period where I did not add to this list after July
because of travel, etc. However, from October to December things were
unusually quiet, except for the information below this item.
