A quieter stretch behind the scenes, mostly things nobody was meant to notice going wrong in the first place. The Archive had been quietly serving the same stale snapshot for over a week without anyone catching it — the kind of failure that looks like success from a distance. Fixed, and while we were in there, the night-flight numbers now break down month by month instead of showing one flat all-time figure.
A citizen platform that argues against this airport's expansion wrote in asking to use our data. We said yes, and reminded them, gently, that the station doesn't take sides — it publishes what it measures, for anyone who asks. That's the whole point of it.
And a new thread opened: not just how loud a plane is overhead, but how long it stays that loud. Early signal suggests departures might be the quieter number with the longer memory. Testing continues as soon as the wind turns back toward landings.
Next week: finish that test on real landings, then fold it properly into the live pipeline rather than bolt it on. Aiming to have it ready before September 1st, so the new month starts with the full picture instead of catching up mid-stream. ✈️
