SeisslerYes, there are noise differences for light aircraft between takeoff and landing. Why then does MASSPORT put a $20 fee ($160 if you're over 12,500) between 11 pm and 7 am. Why not let light aircraft land (or even just let Hanscom based light aircraft land), maybe only on Rwy 11 (i.e. over the swamp). I suppose this is a case where an alledged solution to noise goes far past the noise problem, and as a result, takes a significant bite out of the utility of general aviation. Pete
