London Gatwick Airport
live map →6 overflights/day (100%) · typically 2,000 ft
Felbridge lies just south of the westerly approach corridor, and most of what it hears is arriving traffic descending through about 2,000 ft toward the runway. Aircraft joining or correcting onto final spread slightly wider than the centreline here, so exposure varies street by street more than in villages directly under the glideslope.
