The Editor’s Corner #22 – Israel Banning Boeing 747s Will Have Massive Impact on Cargo Operators
Israel making the decision to ban Boeing 747 aircraft will have a massive impact on cargo operators going into the future. Welcome to The Editor's Corner. (aviationsourcenews.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
not necessarially: 777 freighters are employed by many cargo carriers , so sending any of those will work much of the time. This is a peculiar ruling by a county as it speaks to all cargo carriers not from a position of strength.
I was stuck in traffic at the end of Heathrow's runway when a Concord took off right overhead. The ground trembled and the car shook. If you think a 747 is loud you haven't heard anything. Mind you I'm glad I don't live under Heathrow's flightpath.
Having lived under the London Heathrow landing flightpath - both the 380 and 747 are by far the planes that make the most noise. 12 to 20 dBa more noise than most other planes.
@2000' ish feet above - 747's was at around 70-75 dBa and 380's at about 65-72 dBa.
Most other planes was below 55 dBa.
There are exceptions on the smaller aircraft but that seem more "driver" related than plane related.
The only noise source that was worse than 747's and 380's was Chinook helicopters peaking at 102-115 dBa @ 500' - Enough to crack the outside render on the walls on a couple of occasions. Yes render was not put on well either *G*.
12 to 20 dBa is a HUGE difference in noise. That is perceived as 2-3 times the noise for the human ear (roughly)

747’s cargo from all major cargo flightcompanys arrive en depart Schiphol on late night and night hours while hundreds of thousands don’t sleep well. And mind you, that’s a major issue for the health of the population.
So yeah, wrack the 747’s, they are as worse as the old dc8.

Sounds like a management problem to me.
It is ridiculous over here in Holland.
The whole situation in Schiphol is a mess.

Spent 5 hrs trying to get through Schiphol a week ago. The entire airport is completely dysfunctional!
