That email indicates there was at least an informal relationship between the DAA and the IAA on the modelling of the new runway for noise purposes. Is that an accurate reflection of the relationship between the two? Representatives of the DAA stated at meetings of this committee that they woke up on the day and when planes started to bank from 30° up to 75° north, they were not expecting it. That did not seem like something we could believe. Does Mr. Fitzpatrick have any thoughts on that?
