Where the noise comes from
Horsley Park hears traffic from 2 distinct sources:
Bankstown Airport
live map →3 overflights/day (54%) · typically 1,400 ft
Bankstown's trainers pass through on their way to and from the western training areas.
Helicopters & other light aircraft
3 overflights/day (46%) · typically 1,600 ft
Horsley Park hears light aircraft working the western training country at low altitude in daylight — traffic tied to the GA fields rather than the airline corridors, and undercounted by tracking.
Light-aircraft counts are tracked overflights only — many training and private aircraft carry no ADS-B transponder, so true numbers are higher.
