Some years ago I attempted to get the airport to implement a noise abatement procedure to no avail since I don't live on the island and couldn't follow up. I have a house just east of Nisbet and everyone in the neighborhood complains, especially the Nisbet guests. I am looking for a pilot or ATC person who lives on Nevis who would be willing to work with me on this project. I spoke to the new manager of Nisbet last week and he is all on board to approach the ATC authorities about implementing a sensible program of getting pilots to turn out over the water as soon as practicable to alleviate the noise for Newcastle, Nisbet and others.

 

Any one on this forum from Nevis that would like to work me on this, please contact me via email.
