For years, residents of Pacific Palisades in Pearl City, Hawaii have endured the constant disruption of helicopter training on nearby AG-1 zoned agricultural land — without the legally required Conditional Use Permit.

This ongoing activity shatters the peace of our community, disturbs wildlife, and violates the intent of agricultural zoning laws designed to protect Hawaiʻi’s environment and residents’ quality of life. The Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) has confirmed that helicopter operations require a Conditional Use Permit for a Helistop, yet training continues unchecked.

We believe that no one — not even government departments — should be above the law. It’s time for accountability, fairness, and respect for our ʻāina.

By signing this petition, you are joining our call for:

1. Immediately suspend helicopter training activities on AG-1 land.
2. Comply with zoning laws and obtain a Conditional Use Permit before any operations resume.
3. Work with the community to find alternative training sites that do not harm residential peace or the environment.

Together, we can restore the quiet skies and natural harmony our community deserves — for our homes, our keiki, and future generations.

We are not asking for any monetary donations, just share this link. Mahalo!
