That is the position taken by officials at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) who have decided to scale back a plan allowing aircraft to fly over certain areas of Brampton at lower altitudes.
"Essentially everything returns to what it was in February, before the expansion of the trial happened," said Scott Armstrong, GTAA spokesperson. "Effective today (June 27) we have reverted to the way operations were up until March 3 when we made that change. We've taken five aircraft types out of the program."  

A change in airplane flight take-off patterns managed to upset residents in south and central Brampton who argued they have been subjected to constant and excessive noise caused by low-flying aircraft.

The GTAA extended the list of aircraft that can perform early turn procedures, meaning pilots can change an airplane's direction at a much lower altitude after takeoff.

GTAA staff explained that an airplane is typically required to gain a lot more height before it turns to either the right or left toward its destination.

Armstrong said there is an environmental consideration to allowing early turn procedures.
For one, less fuel is emitted from planes idling while waiting to take off. 

It also allows aircraft to move in the direction of their destination quicker.

The GTAA began early turn procedures in 2000, but limited it to smaller prop planes and regional jets flying out of Pearson Airport.

In March, the GTAA expanded the trials to include other types of aircraft and has allowed the flight take-off plan to occur on runways facing north and south— not just east or west.

But the noise generated by Brampton residents over the changes has prompted the GTAA to reconsider.

Armstrong said the environmental benefit of adding other aircraft to the list of planes that can perform the procedures isn't significant enough to warrant being at odds with the Brampton public.
