Where the noise comes from
Yagoona hears traffic from 2 distinct sources:
Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport
live map →15 overflights/day (63%) · typically 5,600 ft
Yagoona sits under Kingsford Smith's western flows — departures climbing out and arrivals sequencing across the region pass at moderate altitude through the day.
Bankstown Airport
live map →9 overflights/day (37%) · typically 800 ft
Below that, Bankstown's light aircraft cross the suburb between the field and the north — circuit traffic and departures, typically around a thousand feet in daylight hours.
Light-aircraft counts are tracked overflights only — many training and private aircraft carry no ADS-B transponder, so true numbers are higher.
