I bought here because the disclosures warned us of the airport but told us that there was a VNAP in place and that planes did not fly over our neighborhoods!! My neighborhood was NOT in the flight path and it stated that in the sales office. In fact, we considered buying in Rancho Carrillo but felt the planes might fly over that area so did not buy there. Furthermore, at the time the airport was so small and we were told it could not expand.
For you to assume that I would put my children in danger is ludicrous. The problems with the planes flying over our neighborhood really just got bad within the last two years. Before that it did not bother us. Believe me, if I could afford to move I would. I downsized to buy this home–now it would still cost twice what I paid for it to buy it and anything else is more expensive.
The reason our group talks about the quiet hours is because of the absence of people in the control tower during those times, which we feel is a safety issue. I am not complaining about the noise.
If you do your research you will discover that the accident rate at Palomar is scary:
