Courtesy never goes out of style. Polite pilots always follow “fly quiet” procedures when departing OAK because they know it makes a big difference to their neighbors — whether it is a mom or dad putting kids to bed before an important school day, or a local teacher or firefighter recovering from a long day at work. This small gesture of using the south runway is what polite pilots do to be good neighbors.
