NOISE COMPLAINTS AND AIRCRAFT TRACKING

A number of our supporters have asked for a reminder on how to make complaints about noisy and low-flying aircraft using Stansted Airport and this note is to advise you that if you would like to understand the ‘rules’ about what constitutes a noisy or off-track aircraft that details appear on the SSE website, together with a link to a complaints form to BAA, at:

http://www.stopstanstedexpansion.com/how_to_complain.html (the link to the form appears in the first line).

 

The complaints form ensures that BAA’s Flight Evaluation Unit (FEU) has all the information required to carry out an investigation.  The detailed notes which accompany the form explain how to complain, which incidents to complain about and what happens next.  It is also important to ensure that BAA’s FEU fully answers your complaint.  If you need further advice on aircraft noise in general or for a specific incident you can contact our SSE noise team through the SSE office on info@stopstanstedexpansion.com.

 

Legitimate complaints send a signal to BAA about the impact on the community of aircraft that break the rules – and in some cases can result in offending airlines being fined.  We do ask you, though, to ensure you complain responsibly and do not abuse the system which could otherwise result in your complaints being ignored by BAA.

 

In addition, if you’re interested to monitor flight movements which have been particularly disturbing, this can be done online (with a 24-48 hour delay) through BAA’s new WebTrak system at:

www.stanstedairport.com/noise (see ‘track flights’).
