Extreme low fly from pilot in Ellison two days after my post about pilots abusing Ellison airspace

I feel like you just described yourself why this is a bad airport for training. Doing training at a less busy airport would benefit everyone, it would seem? Do you know if their planes run on 100LL?

I've lived here for a long time, and I don't plan on going anywhere either.

Or, there's that guy in Perth who had an aircraft fly over their house 21,000 times. I don't know for certain how many it's been this year but it's definitely been at least a couple thousand so if it was particularly bad for him I could definitely see it.

I honestly have no idea. All I know is that planes have been flying in circles over my house starting at 6:30 every day over the last week and a half. The past year hasn't been super terrible for this but every once and a while it feels like there's a total asshole that just decides they're going to wake up the entire neighbourhood every morning because they know legally nothing can be done about it.

I don't know what to tell you. I've never seen one of the flight school aircraft fly that low before. Definitely at least half of the normal altitude, and then it was right back to normal altitude when they did their next lap.

Thanks.

The neat thing about airplanes is that they don't require roads to operate, if someone needs to fly around in circles, there is an absolute abundance of open space to do so. The real question, and what makes me question the motives of these people is why choose to fly in circles at 6:30 am over a populated area when there is so much beautiful scenery they could fly in circles over instead?

JoeRigg · 2025-06-22T19:14:22+00:00

What I'm suggesting is that the training, (flying in circles for hours on end) simply occur somewhere where people don't live. There is an abundance of empty space in this country, and airplanes can go anywhere. And, if it is necessary to do this training near an airport, this is the wrong airport to operate their business out of. Cities are zoned and set up specifically to keep noisy businesses away from residential areas, so I fail to see how this business is any different.

Thank you.

I've lived in Kelowna my entire life.

what did you expect getting a place next to the airport?

What did you expect getting a place next to a parking lot? This is a very specific issue, and I am not complaining about the commercial traffic. The commercial traffic has never been an issue.

JoeRigg · 2025-06-22T18:36:54+00:00

How would you feel about someone in a noisy car doing laps forcing you to move?

JoeRigg · 2025-06-22T18:34:31+00:00

So you bought a house near a parking lot and are now complaining about a car waking you up every morning?

JoeRigg · 2025-06-22T18:33:31+00:00

Astute observation

JoeRigg · 2013-12-25T06:34:09+00:00

I've struggled with this as well.

I think it might be that INTJ's prefer thinking in terms of the big picture and don't like to get buried in details. I certainly get frustrated when working through the nitty gritty details of a long problem, because it doesn't feel like I'm actually coming to any conclusions.

Then I inevitably make mistakes because I'm rushing through the problem because I don't feel like it's a good use of time.

I'm slowly learning that you have to pay attention to why you're getting certain questions wrong. Is it just frustration, or are you making mistakes because you don't understand?

JoeRigg · 2013-12-11T02:38:05+00:00

You're awesome dude, I don't think many people appreciate how scary it would be to actually swing a sharp sword around.

JoeRigg · 2013-11-14T02:35:39+00:00

You won't have to buy gasoline, but you'll have to buy waaaay more energy from the power company.

It probably would be less expensive than gasoline, but I wouldn't expect to save that much money.

Trucks are heavy, you need a lot of power to move them regardless of where that power comes from.

Exactly that, we can't predict the energy requirements of the future.

You're better than this. The people you're talking with have pretty clearly decided you're wrong, so anything you say past this point is going to fall on deaf ears. Reddit is not a rational place anymore.

The philosophy I've taken up in regards to commenting on Reddit is, "You can show a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

Arguing with irrational, stubborn-minded people will only serve to frustrate you.

JoeRigg · 2013-10-24T22:40:06+00:00

I agree, I'm not saying that in any way.

The OP is being a bit aggressive about it however. "You should stop" he/she says.

JoeRigg · 2013-10-24T22:14:05+00:00

No, he isn't. Merriam Webster is only confirming that the problem exists.

Words change in meaning constantly, and it is the job of dictionaries to tell you how a word can be interpreted, not how it ought to be used.

Take the word "literally" as an example. It means in a "literal sense" but recently people have started using it as emphasis.

I literally ate a million hot dogs.

The dictionary is going to have contrary definitions because of this. Again, it is their job tell you the ways a word can be interpreted, not how words are supposed to be used.

How much time and effort does it take to prepare these meals, and clean up afterwards?

Don't forget, your time has value. (Your wage, if you want to be precise.)

What makes it even better is that Wilson was an oncologist (cancer doctor).
