How this page is made
- Nothing that landed in the last 48 hours is counted, listed or drawn.
- Drawn paths are simplified to 10 m and lose their first and last 200 m; flights too short to keep an interior are counted but not drawn.
- The record's free-text description is never read into a page. Flights whose stated purpose names a domestic, sexual-assault, kidnapping, welfare, mental-health or juvenile matter are counted in totals and appear in neither the flight list nor on the map.
- Purposes are the agency's own words, grouped into classes by a committed lookup table; unmatched values are "Other" and blank ones "Not stated".
- Times are converted to the agency's clock through the IANA zone database, never a fixed offset.
- A day is the agency's local calendar day of takeoff.
