The problem
Every morning before 8, the circuits start.
Aircraft fly repeated touch-and-go circuits over Erie neighborhoods in the quiet hours — contrary to the airport’s own published voluntary noise-abatement procedures. Filed one at a time, those complaints get read and quietly archived. Alone, each one disappears.
Why this is different
A complaint gets archived. A record has to be answered.
Evidence, not annoyance
Every qualifying session carries the tail number, FAA-registered owner, exact minutes, laps, and low passes — from public ADS-B broadcasts. It’s a record, not a vibe.
It persists
A message can be archived in one click. A documented, verifiable pattern has to be dealt with. We preserve the data and the historical filing record.
It adds up
One morning is noise. A quarter of tracked circuits, sorted by who owns the aircraft, is an audit — the kind of thing a Town Council and the local press can’t un-see.
Watch
Public ADS-B is monitored over Erie during the quiet-hours window.
Identify
Each circuit is matched to a tail number and its FAA-registered owner.
Document
The times, laps, low passes, aircraft, and operator become one structured, verifiable entry.
Publish
Coverage and qualifying sessions stay visible in one regional record, with completed days archive-verified.
A message a clerk can archive in a second. A documented, owner-attributed, ADS-B-verified record takes real work to answer — and real work to dismiss. That asymmetry is the whole point.
Why documenting beats complaining
