Description
For years, Carlsbad residents have been fed up with plane noise from flights heading in and out of McClellan-Palomar Airport, and frustrated with the lack of action at both the county and federal levels.
On Tuesday night, Carlsbad city leaders stepped up to look into ways to tackle this problem that residents say threatens their health and their safety.
Neighbors say this disruptive plane noise has been a problem for decades, with pilots who fail to comply with the voluntary flight curfew, as well as those pilots who fly too low or deviate from the recommended flight path.
"It can get pretty bad," said longtime Carlsbad resident Hope Nelson. She said that the plane noise from flights coming in and out of McClellan-Palomar Airport, with no mandatory regulations in place, has just gotten worse over the years.
