I live near an airport in an urban area. Mostly used by private jets and regular small airplanes, and occasionally larger jets (usually by pro sport teams). [no regular public flights]. I love to hear the jets land, and watching the planes. I have heard that there is some rule that you must have reached 1000 feet in altitude going in a STRAIGHT direction after liftoff, BEFORE you are allowed to make a TURN, over residential areas with many, many houses. Is this a law, or is there some law that requires anything like this? Many of the small planes turn immediately after lifting the runway, perhaps only 100 to 250 feet in the air, right over the top of my house, and they can be very loud. So I ask two questions. IS THERE A LAW about turning so low, and WHAT CAN I DO when this happens. (Yes I do have phone number of control tower).
I love planes, but don't want them on my roof! If they went straight, and got a little higher before turning, they would not be on my roof.
