PAT BAY AIRPORT
_ RELATIVELY QUIET

BY A,G, DAGG

“Airports and a degree of.
noise are. synonymous,’ said
Victoria International Airport
Manager J, Knowland,

‘tEverything within reason is
done to reduce the noise but
there is an obvious limit,” he
Said,

The discussion with Mr. Know-
land was held after The Review
recently received complaintsre-

garding a few large. new air=..

craft which have been using the
local airport and its landing alds
for training purposes,

lines and Air Canada and usually

commercial jets such as the
DC8, DCO or Boeing 707.

In addition, Argus aircraft
from CAFB Comox frequently

/ NO RESTRICTIONS

In his explanation of the situ-
ation, Mr. Knowiand sald: '‘Vic~«
toria Airport is owned and op-
erated by. the Federal Depart-
ment: of. Transport and is for
the use of all licensed aircraft
operators, There are tio’ res-

.|trictions. on any legal user. and

vevenue. from. ‘the users helps
te. defray costs. and reduce ex=
penses to the taxpayer."

Victoria now has a relatively
quiet airport, This is partly

‘because few if any of the regu-

lar users. employ aircratt with
pure -jet engines .which emit a
high pitched whine. .

In addition, noise abatement
procedures, in which pewer is
ireduced as soon as possible
after take-off, are regularly em-
ployed by the mest frequent vist-
itor, the Air Canada Viscounts,

FEW COMPLAINTS

“T receive very few rome
plaints - perhaps one or two
per month,’ said Mr, Knowland,
“and these usually come from
very elderly people or those.vho
aré not two well.”

In. his opinion, most people
accept any noise associated with
an airport as being unavoidable
and they learn to Hve with it.

One suggestion, adv.
relieve noise of rer@ated trains

called for the development of an

Air Cadets Seek Recruits _ |,

- “Service does not necessarily lead ‘to
enlistment in the Canadian Armed Forces.”

. The _ Squadron holds parades (meetings)
every Thursday evening at Air Cadet Head-
quarters at Patricia Bay Airport, Additional
parades. for band and range instruction are
held on other evenings. ‘

; Cadets are supplied. with uniform and !‘we
teach them to wear it with pride’? said the
Squadron Adjutant.

Further information can be obtained from
Capt. Price at. 652-1043, Lieut. Coward at
656-1782 or at headquarters, 656-4423.

ft is hoped that parents of recruits will
attend with their sons at the time of joining,

_ to inspect facilities and learn something of
the program and opportunities offered in the
Air Cadet movement.

Sidney’s 676 (Kinsmen) Air Cadet Squad-
ron is seeking recruits.

Age limitations are.13.to {9 years and
“we have room for. between thirty and thirty-
five,”* said Squadron Adjutant Lieut. Garth
Coward.

The Sidney Squadron ranks with the best
in all of Canada and officers expect recruit-
ing will present no problems.

“Boys. gain all. the advantages of military
training.’ said Squadron Commanding Of-
‘ficer. Capt. Dave Price, «‘but none of its

“Instruction in citizenship and leadership:
