Commerical Airplane flying over Prospect Park
Wanted to know what can be done if anything about all of the commercial planes flying over Prospect Park West? They are extremely loud.

ATC isn’t that capricious about routing aircraft on intermediate approach. Pilots flying into Laguardia normally fly a straight precision approach under instruments but winds aloft will sometimes require the aircraft to fly a different vector for the turn to final. Because the aircraft are flying relatively slowly it’s a safety thing.
Lots of people are giving you bad information. Ed Towns’ office is very interested in where planes fly and in the past his office was working closely with the FAA. I know one flight path is supposed to be over the Gowanus Canal but it’s easier for them to go at an angle over dense residential so they were taking the short cut. Towns office put a stop to that quickly. Just call his office. I’ve called the one on Court St about a couple of different issues over the years and found them very responsive.
You wouldn’t be so entertained if they were flying low over your house every 4-6 minutes – in Carroll Gardens which is not exactly near an airport. And then there was the time a blue blob about 6-8″ diameter landed in my front yard. And you know what that is. It came straight down and went through a thick, hard crust of ice over snow. Not acceptable.
Call your Congressman.

Denton,
That’s actually Senator Schumer himself flying overhead in the Delta shuttle to/from LaGaurdia, at least twice a week. Maybe OP can come up to your roof and hold up a sign with big letters asking for a route change (I’d offer mine but there’s no deck or guard rail).
From the petition
“….THAT WAS NEVER–AND CAN NEVER–ACCOMODATE THE INSANE AMOUNT OF INCOMING AND OUTGOING TRAFFIC”
One of my pet hates is when people miss the second M in accomModate (the other of course, is when the put the E in SepArate!” 😀
Why not enjoy them? My wife and I spent many pleasant summer evenings on our roof deck watching them fly over. Didn’t seem particularly loud.

“write your congressman”
Yes! Send a letter to Senator Charlie Schumer and ask him to do something about the horrible airplane noise in Prospect Park.
You can just drop it off with Senator Schumer’s doorman. He lives on Prospect Park West.
If you find a way to do anything about maybe you can help with the traffic helicoptors that used to hover over my old apartment in Carroll Gardens. I always enjoyed when they started hovering at about 5:00 AM.
JasonB…then they’d expect the boat to be free as if it was taking them to Ikea!! There’s no end to what entitled people think they should have.
