Jetliner noise bothering you? You\u2019re not alone. From Pointe Claire to Ste. Anne de Bellevue, The Suburban<\/i> has heard from residents complaining about jumbo jets flying over residential neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n

The increased traffic is due to repair work that has shut down one of the three runways that serve Trudeau International Airport in Dorval. <\/p>\n

\u201c[It] will be closed for maintenance until the end of October,\u201d A\u00e9roports de Montr\u00e9al (ADM) spokeswoman St\u00e9phanie Lepage told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

Since the two runways still in operation are parallel, residents are seeing aircraft more frequently. However, as Lepage explained, the airport applies a strict policy to minimize the impact of intrusive aircraft noise on neighbouring communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cLarge aircraft like Boeing and Airbus airliners have to go straight up until they reach 3,000 ft, before they make a turn,\u201d she said, \u201cthough smaller, less noisy aircraft like turboprops can make their turn any time after takeoff.\u201d <\/p>\n

In practice, that means that big southwest-bound planes taking off from Dorval must be over Lac St. Louis before they turn toward their destination. <\/p>\n

\u201cAircraft that large can\u2019t [attain an altitude of 3,000 feet] before reaching Lac St. Louis,\u201d Lepage confirmed, adding that exceptions are permitted \u201cwhen there is a lightning alert. Depending upon the weather, they might have to bypass [thunderclouds].\u201d <\/p>\n

Deviations are sometimes necessary for safety reasons, concurred Ottawa-based Nav Canada spokesman Jonathan Bagg in a telephone interview. \u201cAn example would be an aircraft deviating to avoid thunderstorm cells. When this occurs an Aviation Occurrence Report is submitted to Transport Canada.\u201d <\/p>\n

Last month, The Suburban<\/i> witnessed one big plane after another flying low over residential neighbourhoods in Dorval and Pointe Claire in short succession. <\/p>\n

According to Transport Canada regional spokeswoman Leslie Husbands, airlines that break noise abatement rules face fines up to $25,000 per infraction. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends on type of infraction and if it is recurrent,\u201d she told The Suburban,<\/i> \u201cso someone who is a first-time violator will not be paying the same fine as if it were their third or fourth infraction.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIn this case ADM handles noise complaints within a 10 nautical mile radius of the airport,\u201d added Bagg. \u201cBreaches are referred to and enforceable by Transport Canada.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cResidents who want to complain can call our customer relations line at [514] 633-3351,\u201d said ADM spokeswoman Lepage, \u201cor they can fill in a form on our website www.admtl.com<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

Lepage noted that ADM has gone to great lengths to limit sound pollution in the vicinity. <\/p>\n

The airport restricts most takeoffs after midnight and landings after 1 a.m., and prohibits older, noisy aircraft entirely. <\/p>\n

To stay abreast of local noise concerns, ADM also convenes representatives from Montreal, Dorval, Pointe Claire, St. Laurent for quarterly meetings with Transport Canada, Nav Canada, the Quebec government, airlines and airport management. <\/p>\n

Transport Canada also publishes a list of corporate aircraft offenders<\/a> on its web site.
