It finally happened, the wind has changed. The planes are gone (for now).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Is there too much wind for the planes to land and take off? In any case, enjoy the lovely sounds of nature (and neighbors :-/).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The planes like to land “against the wind”. When it’s coming from east, they approach from west towards east (and thus fly over me) – and vice versa. When it’s coming from west, they take off towards west, which, for some reason, is quieter than landing. 🥴 Maybe they just climb faster than they descend, I don’t know.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ohh, right! I heard sometime that they try to climb very quickly for saftey reasons. If something goes wrong and they’re higher up, pilots have more time to troubleshoot and react before they hit the ground. Something like that. There are probably also plenty other factors, too.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That sounds plausible. :) Plus, when they depart, they sometimes turn very quickly and don’t even fly over my head.
