Can someone tell me if Egham is on the Hethrow Flight Path please?

Answer 1

Egham is certainly under, or very close to some of the many flight paths currently in use at Heathrow, in particular the SIDs (Standard Instrument Departures) departing runways 29L or 29R via Midhurst. Normally SIDs and STARs (Standard Arrival Routes) are used wherever possible as this makes life simpler for pilots and Air Traffic Controllers. However factors such as prevailing meteorolical conditions, traffic density and emergencies could well mean the Heathrow traffic could well overfly Egham.

Answer 2

There is no "flight path".
Aircraft can and will fly in any direction, and will.
There are a whole group of departure and approach procedures, with different holding points, different navigational aids, and even radar guided approaches.
Its impossible to say whether or not aircraft are going to fly over a certain place, unless you are the air traffic controller directing the aircraft. Even pilots dont know which approach procedure they are going to get.
An air traffic controller can have an aircraft change course at any time, regardless of what flight path the aircraft filed in its flight plan.

Answer 3

It is but you will not experience too much noise pollution. Egham is not at the end of any of the runways!!!! Trust me, I grew up a few miles from egham and I lived closer to Heathrow.

Answer 4

every airport has a flight plan called a circuit it help guides aircraft round an aiport while controllers can land aircraft
without having to deal with loads more

Answer 5

Sorry never heard of 'Hethrow'

Answer 6
