So what did council really decide?
They will? That's a little timey-wimey isn't it?Her descendants decided to build the castle right in the path of Heathrow's runway.

It is technically true that the fill will be placed in the existing MEZ. But as a result of the expansion of the runway into the existing MEZ, wouldn't the new MEZ be taking formerly publicly accessible waters (and airspace rights in the port lands, if last week's report is to be believed)? It is called an "expansion" for a reason.
From what I've seen, the MEZ wouldn't significantly be altered.

Wouldn't the MEZ grow by the same amount as the runway at a minimum, and possibly by more than that if TC determines that the jets require more leeway and more gradual ascent/descent slopes? Besides, in the post I responded to, weren't you essentially saying that the expansion would not result in the loss of public space? Isn't that a nonsensical statement in the context of an "expansion"?
Jets don't require any thing different than the normal 3 degree glideslope. Airplanes are built to existing standards. Not the other way around. The only way a steeper approach might be required was is there are noise abatement concerns (a la London City). But in this case, if that happens, I don't see them getting approval for the changeover to jet use anyway.
The reality is this, the aircraft is well on its way to qualifying to the noise emissions standards that exist for the airport today, and under which the Q400 operates. Excepting the CS100, does not in any way, shape or form set a precedent allowing other aircraft in. All the rest will still have to meet the noise abatement standards and they won't. Ergo, they won't fly to YTZ.
Why is the CS100 an exception? None of the above makes sense to me.Excepting the CS100, does not in any way, shape or form set a precedent allowing other aircraft in. All the rest will still have to meet the noise abatement standards and they won't. Ergo, they won't fly to YTZ.
