What this page cannot tell you
- Presence is not purpose, and it is not occupancy. No ADS-B record places any person aboard any aircraft.
- An absent day is not an absent aircraft. Volunteer receiver coverage is uneven, and a jet parked with its transponder off is invisible. Absence here is a coverage fact.
- Every count on this page is a count of the aircraft this investigation tracks, not of everything that used the field. Most aircraft at a general-aviation airport are flight-school and charter traffic, and many carry the FAA's ordinary Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed privacy flag, which is a routine owner filing and not a sign of anything.
- 2022 is thin — the free archives begin in February 2023; before that only ADS-B Exchange's first-of-the-month sample days exist.
