Helicopters hurt us with harmful. sleep-destroying noise & hazardous air pollution emissions.
Here are some ways to deal effectively with the helicopter/air traffic plague over the Heights:
While many neighborhood associations, elected officials and issue groups have not opened the information gates on what actions residents can take, here are some ways to act.
If you have questions or comments on what’s (constantly) overhead contact the Wall St. Heliport. The Heliport is owned by the NY State EDC – Economic Development Corp: (212) 248 7240.
Call the heliport manager, Brian Tolbert, to comment on your reaction to the amount of air traffic overhead: (917) 912 4217 or (212) 248 7241. Keep a record of your calls. Share the results.
NYC Government helicopter/fixed wing operations are run out of Floyd Bennett Field. To make a comment or ask why they allow the number of overflights and stationary observation posts at 1:00 to 3:00 AM, call (718) 656 0956. Ask for the Air Information Officer or the Press Relations Officer. Identify yourself as a citizen journalist researching why they think it’s OK to put the amount of tonnage and amount of fuel overhead nightly.

For those with scanners, NYC Air operations can be tracked by scanning from 122.850 to 126.050 and listening to 164.3 and 381.800 MHz. While a lot of air traffic is only hearable when aircraft are almost directly overhead, scanning can reveal what’s up flying above and when.
Two Manhattan heliports include one on West 34th Street: (212) 425 1534 & (212) 889 6350.
The W. 30th Street facility, run by the Hudson River Trust, can be reached at (212) 627 – 2020. The manager’s number is (212) 563 – 4442.
