This request concerns the actual route flown by aircraft departing Runway 28R at Dublin Airport - particularly the early right-hand turn shortly after take-off - and whether this route aligns with the departure route assessed and approved in the 2007 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and granted planning permission by An Bord Pleanála (ABP Ref: PL06F.217429) The term "flight path" is not a defined legal or technical term in Irish aviation or planning law.
