The owners of the three houses in nürensdorf, Switzerland, over the the Federal court at the end of March decided, were lucky: After 18 years of litigation, the Supreme court gave them right. Because the aircraft thundering in only 260 feet above the ground, directly over their land, will receive you from the airport compensation between 104’000 and 120’000 Swiss francs.

luck had the three but also because their properties were determined as a so-called pilot cases. Thus, cases are meant to clarify open questions – you will speditiver treated. In nürensdorf, Switzerland it was all about, what are the conditions of direct Overflights. Because then the owner is entitled to compensation.

The airport argued, eligible properties would have a sixty-metre-wide corridor, so thirty meters or a half a degree to the left and to the right of the runway axis. In addition, the aircraft in nürensdorf, Switzerland were already too high, as that of direct Overflights. Both the Federal court saw it differently. The approaches had a “threat”, and not just because of the low height, but also because they could 21 PM “continuously and without interruption”.

The 60-Meter corridor, the airport requested, as deemed by the judges as too narrow. For instrument approaches, variations of up to 1.25 degrees from the track axis are permitted, and this angle is crucial. For nürensdorf, Switzerland, is located 2.5 kilometres from the runway threshold is reached, it follows a corridor of 100 metres width.

Too little staff and money

What is the meaning of the judgment for the other plaintiff, the wait to request a decision on a Compensation? Not very much, it means at the airport. Lawyer Adrian Strütt, representing numerous owners legally, assesses the situation similarly. Only a handful of other stakeholders, especially in nürensdorf, Switzerland should hope to be by the airport also compensated, because their case is similar.

Against 7000 noise-affected have to wait, especially in the North and the South, where only about half of the Compensation requests are to be done. All of these requests are at least ten years old – in 2008, a submission deadline of delivery. The long waiting period has to do with the airport pilot decisions are mostly up before the Federal court draws. On the other hand, the competent estimation of the Commission, which decides in the first instance, the compensation had, for years, to little staff and money. At times previous presidents had to shoot his own money shooting forward, to maintain operations. Have done well so far 13’000 compensation request, the airport has paid to 72.2 million Swiss francs.
