The New York City Economic Development Corporation receives 311 data on helicopter noise complaints and passes it on to the private heliport operator in downtown Manhattan, who investigates each complaint thoroughly.

  • They categorize complaints based on the type of aircraft involved
  • If there is not enough information, they try to triangulate which specific flight caused the complaint
  • An independent third-party consultant double checks that complaints were categorized accurately
  • The investigation results are then reported back to close the loop on the original complaint
