All ATC — The Airband as a Searchable Corpus

Field notes

The project describes a managed receiver network that would keep assigned aviation frequencies open continuously, retain signal metrics, and align source audio with machine transcripts. Its proposed search layer spans Boolean, phrase, and semantic queries, with callsign, gate, and frequency timelines plus one-action recovery of the underlying audio. The page distinguishes ATC recognition from ramp, company, and FBO traffic, where local shorthand and crew names replace standardized phraseology. Launch metrics such as channel count, latency, retention, and archive depth remain unfilled.
