Closed 82 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it compulsory for light aircraft built after 1960 to have silencers or mufflers fitted on their engines in order to be able to be flown.
These recreational aircraft blight our lives by continuously flying and doing aerobatics on a nice day, all day.
