Dublin Airport New Runway/Infrastructure.

Can’t wait for the incoming article in tomorrows Times 😜😂

Yep first one off was a Ryanair to Tenerife and it turns left slightly and goes right over Feltrim Quarry.

Loud-ish enough from the front of the house which faces that way and then I sat in the back room for the second Ryanair and couldn't really hear anything.

Am I right in saying that the 738's are a bit louder than their Airbus counterparts? Will report back if one of the big dirty 330's take off 😂

A320’s that still have the old extendable landing lights would be “louder” as a result of the whistley sound the airflow makes… but I think most have been retrofitted with more aerodynamic bulb housings which reduce that…. Otherwise I’d say the 73’s are louder. On that note, living in Sandyford I find the MAX’s the loudest of the narrowbody’s we see in Dublin!

Some sources state otherwise!

Going out over Paddy’s Hill all right.

In the afternoon.

The butterfly aperture around the fuel outflow port on the A320 CEOs was noted as causing a great deal of noise on approach, there's a mod available on the type but not sure EI availed.

The very high bypass ratio engines make a distinct noise IMO on the 777-300ER and the 321Neo.

BAC 1-11s do their thing - this would cause consternation on a 28R departure.

Prior to 10/28, runway 05/23 was the primary runway but 16/34 was also used when weather dictated. The approaches to these runways, and departure paths, involved some overflying of residential areas, though of course things were not as built-up as they are now. Departures off 23 with a turn over the Glasnevin area were commonplace, regardless of noise. The 16 approach was (is?) probably the least populated, though you wouldn't think that, based on the recent media reporting. The 34 approach comes in over Clontarf/Beamont/Santry, which are long-established areas.

I think 16 only gained the ILS in the early/mid-1980s. Prior to that it was a VOR approach.

On the face of it, seems like a good idea for the benefit of airport operations into the future. Can't remember if the Ryanair submission had merit or just following the usual moan at anything the Daa do or plan.

Ryanair has deep pockets and has consistently objected to any developments at DUB where it will not be a direct beneficiary. In the case of the tunnel, assuming that this enables the western side of the airfield to be used more and eventually further developed, Ryanair should benefiot indirectly, in that the whole airfield should operate more efficiently than is currently possible.

Your thinking of the City North hotel, the hotel the crew saw was the Clayton which is 1km or so east and almost directly in line with the approach to 34

Oddly enough I was reading that report today, G-FLTM
