Have a discussion with your realtor about aircraft noise that may affect your satisfaction with your potential new home. Visit the home multiple times, on different days, at different times (time of year and weather affect aircraft noise). This will increase your chances of experiencing aircraft flights to determine what impact they will have on daily life. Make sure the realtor doesn't persuade you to visit during off-peak times or just times that are convenient to the realtor. Check the airport’s flight schedules for departure and arrival times so you can plan a visit to the home during busy hours. Be specific and be sure to ask your realtor, the neighbors, and the current owner, if possible, about the impact of aircraft noise. Ask about any existing complaints or avigation easements attached to the house deed. If so, this means that the house is within 65 DNL, or in very close proximity to the airport. Read the easement so you are aware of noise complaint procedures.   Avigation easements (right of overflight in the airspace above or in the vicinity of a particular property) are perpetual. Be sure to address any additional concerns you may have with the real estate agent or owner.
