File a Complaint
It is critical for us to voice our concerns and objections about the negative impact of the Cottonwood Airport. If we don't speak up, nothing will ever change, and the flight schools and hobbyists will continue to circle over our homes, parks, rivers, and nature areas with impunity, completely ignoring the impact their actions have on our lives.
Filing a complaint is actually extremely easy. Like most things, it may seem awkward at first, but after doing it once or twice, it will seem easy. Below are some links and pertinent information:
