Welcome to this application Noiselab.
Why am I hearing aircraft noise at night? Aren’t there restrictions on night flights?
Edinburgh Airport is a 24-hour operational airport. There are no restrictions on night flying at Edinburgh Airport.
Why was an aircraft flying over my home, I am not under a flight path?
Occasionally aircraft may be diverted off the normal flight path for weather avoidance. A flight will request from ATC a deviation from flight path for weather avoidance. ATC agree to the captain’s requested course whenever possible, as it is the captain's responsibility to ensure the safety of the aircraft and ATC have no recourse to that decision making.
What if I have a question about a specific aircraft or noise, who do I contact?
Why do some aircraft appear to fly so much lower than others?
It's quite normal for aircraft to operate at a range of heights. It is important to stress that aircraft vary considerably in size and larger aircraft do often appear to be operating lower than others.
