What is less GREAT is what I saw on one forum:
The helicopter will be using approximately 90.92 litres per hour, which equates to 727.36 litres per day if flying between 10.00 and 18.00 which over the 4 month summer season will be approximately 1,636,560 litres (18,000 gallons) of aviation fuel being burnt into the atmosphere and environment. This pollution will be dispersed over the same area, that which is being enjoyed by holiday makers (inc. children) and residents.
If the helicopter runs throughout the 4 months of the summer season for 8 hours a day (as per licence over the Easter weekend) running every 10 minutes this will mean that the helicopter will pass over or near too each resident living on the flight path approximately 5,375 times. This will affect the enjoyment of people using their gardens during the summer period.
