Another Avantair Piaggio P180 flying below 500 feet directly over the houses on Ward's Island. The Eastern gap is only 300 meters to the east of the flight path of this cowboy. They just don't care about the safety of the community. If they can't respect the so-called "Good Neighbour Policy" , they should be kicked off the Island. Lundy, when are you going to call Avantair and straighten them out? If you are unable to do this simple task, resign and let them hire someone who can actually do the job of running the Airport.

Joe, as you know this is an ongoing problem with Avantair's Piaggio P180. It would end if the management of the Island Airport would actually do something about it.

Here is a response I got from a pilot of a Piaggio P180 (not Avantair)
"I was captain on that flight....no safety or air regulations were compromised so get over it."

I reported this comment to the CEO of the company that owned that plane. I received an apology and they have never overflown the community since. The Piaggio P180 is one of the loudest planes flying, and if they kept over the eastern gap less than a half kilometre to the east, none of this would be a concern. They constantly fly over the community at less than 500 feet, and we have 200-foot tall trees on Ward's Island.

Joe, as far as I know, all pilots are human and humans are prone to error. I would rather have them flying over the Eastern Gap where there are no tall trees and no homes.
