Why are airplanes flying low over my house?
Why are airplanes flying low over my house? Why are the airplanes flying so low over my house? Aircraft are limited in the direction they fly because they must land into the wind. Therefore, the flexibility of air traffic is dependant on the wind patterns of the day or, even, the hour, as winds can change rapidly.
Can you look up who owns a plane?
You can search for owner, make, and model information for an aircraft on our Aircraft Registration Inquiry website.
Why do airplanes sound low at night?
During the day, when the air is warmer than the ground, noise energy from an airplane staying in the air, so while you can still hear it, it seems quieter. Conversely, at night, when the ground is warmer than the air, the noise is drawn down, making it seem louder.

Why are planes so loud over my house?
Aircraft need more engine power in order to attain a safe level of flight. Also, if aircraft fly at lower power levels they will remain closer to the ground for longer periods of time, thus more noise exposure to larger area.
Is it safer to fly over land or water?
When flying over land, of course it is more likely that there will be more airfields closer to the aircraft at any given time. However, because of lessons learned from its history and the improvements in aircraft and engine reliability, crossing the oceans is deemed as safe as flying over land.
What is the riskiest part of flying?
Takeoff and landing are widely considered the most dangerous parts of a flight.
How close can planes legally fly?
An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
