Question Why?

What's the rationale for the rule - is it a noise abatement component or something else?

If everything is going OK I can't see why a flight should be held on the ground because a nominal movement cap has been exceeded. It's like a mini curfew in the middle of the day.

My recollection is that it's a politcal noise abatement measure that was introduced when 16L/34R was opened.
