The following is a comparison between two Aircraft Traffic Assessments; Burwash (TN19 7EH) and West Chiltington (RH20 2JW).
Findings.
- Both locations are subject to some from of regular Aircraft disruptions*.
- West Chiltington is assessed as Occasional with around 15 disruptions expected per day. 46% occurring out-of-hours and at Weekends.
- Burwash is assessed as Frequent with around 32 disruptions per day. 50% occurring out-of-hours and at Weekends.
- Burwash is located within an Arrival Flight Holding stack which implies the density of Aircraft between 7000 and 13000 feet is likely to be high at certain times as highlighted by the 4 and 9 flight measures, shown below.
- West Chiltington is subject to 497 Departures. Departures tend to be louder than Arrivals although more regulated. Burwash has just 20.
- The flights in the Burwash area take longer to pass-by i.e. 20 seconds vs. 15 seconds.
- The average height for all flights is lower in Burwash i.e. 14,877 feet vs. 21,662.
- Times to visit the area . Burwash: Saturday and Sunday afternoons between 1.00pm and 3.00pm. West Chiltington: Sunday between 8.00am and 10.00am.
* See our article about the disruption index . The index does not take into consideration the mix of aircraft types. The very large aircraft such the A380-800 tend to create an air disturbance that is noticeable from inside the house. The larger planes also tend to fly lower, have more volume and therefore have a greater visual impact.

Assessment description |
Sound equates to a “B” road or busy “C” road i.e. irregular traffic that will be noticeable at peak times which includes evenings and weekends. Location is on a secondary flight corridor or flight route or in a flight holding stack area. At times there will be multiple aircraft occurances within the same hour, typically 4. Some of the aircraft will be below 7000 feet. |
