Have the flightpaths been changed – I’ve never noticed aircraft over here before?
There has been no change in policies relating to how Gatwick operates, including how Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) direct aircraft, nor in the position of the Noise Preferential Routes (NPRs), the stacks where arriving aircraft ‘queue’ whilst waiting to join the Instrument Landing System (ILS) or the position of the ILS radio beams which aircraft use to bring them into land on the last stage of their journey. These routes have been in place for over 30 years.
