Impact of Palomar Airport Expansion – Carlsbad

[Bubblesitter]

fyi, update on the new terminal

Looks to be a large terminal with restaurants.

I just took a short commuter flight from LA down to Palomar airport. Nice hopper, beats flying into SAN and fighting traffic going north on the 5.

A couple thoughts… first off I’m an airline pilot that, up until the last couple months, flew the turboprops in and out of Carlsbad. The turboprops are pretty quiet and the newer 70 seat turboprops (dash-8s) are very quiet.

The major noise comes from jets, the loudest being the oldest regardless of size. In fact some of the loudest planes out there are the first generation of small bizjets like the twenty series learjets. The big new bizjets like the Gulfsteam 550 are almost creapy quiet.

Probably the least appreciated point when it comes to airport expansion is that increasing the runway length decreases the noise. It allows us to use lower power settings for takeoff and less reverse thrust on landing.

There are airports like orange county that we have special profiles we have to fly the reduce noise. We do try to fly as quietly as we can in general.

The homes in Point Loma are subject to a lot more air traffic noise than the homes along the Palomar Airport Road corridor. I notice the values in Pt. Loma area are among the most stable in the county.

Before we settled into our home in RSF, we looked at Bressi and locations north of Via de la Valle, but decided against all of them because of the accelerated traffic problems you encounter the further north you go on I-5, and the airport situation at Carlsbad.

I’ve been flying 757’s for 15 years, and regardless of the type of aircraft, I would never want to live near any airport. That said, some family members who live in Point Loma and Sunset Cliffs are effected by the noise at Lindbergh, and others are not, but, as mentioned, property values seem to remain stable. This is also true at the Scottsdale Airport, where homes surround the airport. Historically, those values have held also.
