Yesterday was HORRIBLE in Leilani Estates. It was literally non-stop with one or more helicopters in the air pretty much all the times.
If the facility has digitized radar they can review the files and check the flight paths of the aircraft. If they aircraft have mode C transponders they can also check their altitudes. Does anyone know if the local ATC facility has digitized radar? Does anyone know if the helicopters have mode C transponders?
If the facilities do not have digitized radar then there is no feasible way for them to review old data other than to manually review any flight plans that were filed with ATC. And just because a flight plan was filed doesn't mean that the aircraft followed it precisely.
It's already starting again the morning.
