Dozens of times a day during the spring and summer, the peace and tranquility of thousands of residents and visitors in the central and eastern neighbourhoods of Centretown, the Golden Triangle, Sandy Hill, Lowertown, New Edinburgh, Vanier, Manor Park and Rockcliffe Park is shattered from above by the rattling noise and vibrations of a 73-year-old WACO biplane operated by Central Aviation of Alberta out of the Rockcliffe Flying Club and airport in the city's northeast end. Apparently immune from noise bylaws and regulations, this unwelcome aerial invader has been low-flying across these densely populated urban neighbourhoods for the purpose of offering private aerial "tours" of the Parliament buildings and the National Capital's downtown core.
I, the undersigned, as a resident and/or or a person carrying on my business or employment within one of these noise-afflicted areas, wish to register that I am disturbed by the recurrent noise caused by the Central Aviation biplane "rides".
I therefore respectfully petition the municipal, provincial and federal authorities and the Board of Directors of the Rockcliffe Flying Club and Central Aviation of Alberta to immediately cease or significantly reduce this noise disturbance caused by these daily commercial flights over central and northeastern Ottawa.

The persistent noise caused by these flights continues to disrupt the daily lives of residents across our neighborhoods. I am currently reaching out to local authorities to ensure our concerns remain a priority on their agendas.

The momentum generated by this petition confirms that we are not alone in our frustration regarding the constant noise pollution over our neighbourhoods. This level of public interest provides a firm foundation for our upcoming discussions with municipal and federal authorities.

The planes fly over my house in chelsea 12 to 15 times a day, very low and circle around the house, very disturbing and loud. Unacceptable
A commercial undertaking whose only "raison d’être" is to cater to wealthy tourists should not be the cause of multiple, daily annoyances to residents who happen to live below the flight path.
Constant sightseeing plane noise make it impossible to enjoy our home.
This is such an invasion of our privacy and peaceful enjoyment of our property. Planes are flying so low I can read numbers. Too loud.
Living in Gatineau, I sign this petition. Loud old biplanes over Ottawa and Gatineau should not be allowed on a daily basis, for the pleasure of two or three customers.
SO DISTURBING. SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. I cant believe that airline industry invest billions of $ to reduce noise and improve environment/reducing burning fuel over our heads...and we have this clown going around all day, for the amusement of a few, disturbing all of us, burning fuel. They should fly much higher and have more modern plane.
The noise from these aircraft is loud, annoying and relentless. Just when the traffic stops, the university football field grows quiet and we finally get to relax in our own backyards, torture rains down on us from the skies. Please sign this petition and MAKE IT STOP!

I live in Gatineau Mont-Bleu area and yes the noise from those old planes should stop., If they regulate noise from cars & motorcycles they should also have laws for old airplanes..Or leave them in the museums.
