Where the noise comes from
Georges Hall hears traffic from 2 distinct sources:
Bankstown Airport
live map →15 overflights/day (67%) · typically 600 ft
Georges Hall sits immediately west of Bankstown's runways, under approach and departure paths for the field's westerly operations. Light aircraft pass low and often during daylight, especially on training-heavy weekends.
Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport
live map →7 overflights/day (33%) · typically 5,500 ft
Kingsford Smith adds higher crossing traffic — a background layer rather than the main event here.
Light-aircraft counts are tracked overflights only — many training and private aircraft carry no ADS-B transponder, so true numbers are higher.
