Change The Flight Plan 6

SHAH ALAM: It seems that even if the planes do not over fly Sek Keb TTDi Jaya and Sek Men Keb TTDI Jaya, aircraft taking off from Subang Airport fly really close to the schools.

Sek Keb TTDi Jaya is particularly vulnerable as it is located the nearest to the airport's runway, which is located about ONE kilometre away.

For some strange reason, these planes (especially those on pre-or post-maintenainance flights) seemed to prefer flying out of Subang as near to the school as possible.

They can always fly out towards the Hyatt Saujana first before turning towards Sg Buloh to complete the touch-and goes a veritable circle track in an airspace around 10 square kilometres.

I understand that the airport was build before the schools hence it is not easy to cancel out the noise issue or curtail aircraft activities but changing the flight plan to fly away from the schools should be easy.

Other planes are doing it but why the training planes and the aircraft on check flights neeed to fly over or near the schools remained a wonder. I remember that last year, a British E-3A Sentry AWACS plane fly out toward U1 and even flying over the Ladang Rasak (behind the TTDI Jaya) to avoid flying over the two schools.

Check out these two videos, the first a business jet taking off from Subang two weeks ago and the other an Air Asia Boeing 737 taken today (July 5). Note that both planes came very close to the primary school.
