You would like to know whether there will be aircraft noise from takeoffs or landings at your place of residence on a certain day? The higher the display points in the direction of 100 (takeoff direction east) or -100 (takeoff direction west), the higher the probability that the aircraft will take off in the corresponding direction (Landing direction or approach direction reversed accordingly).
The forecasts are updated hourly.
The forecast for the takeoff and landing direction can also be used very well for planespotting.
