Narrative:
I have been dealing with atl ATC telling aircraft to fly low over my community for 3 months. I live in douglasville; GA 25 miles from the airport. My altitude is 1;000 MSL. This happens from XA00 am to XH00 am. Often ATC has passenger jets lower altitude to 4;000 MSL and fly west bound for 10 miles; turn south 5 miles and then start approach into atl as much as 40 to 50 miles. This is dangerous to passengers and they are doing it to disturb my community. This morning I had aircraft X fly over and shake my neighborhood at 3;200 MSL at XA00 am; and I took a screen shot. I have made complaint after complaint of this dangerous behavior. Again; my home is already at 1k MSL. This is unacceptable and atlanta ATC is not responding to the many noise complaints I have filed.
