Santa Barbara Airport monitors flight track information through PublicVue™ from L3Harris.

PublicVue™ permits the public to follow, capture and review operations in the vicinity of their homes, schools and businesses in near-real time. With this solution, airport staff can focus on analysis rather than data entry and users can view and print submitted reports for authentication of noise complaints.

PublicVue
