Steven,

Today has been another day where almost 19 out of 20 flights are not following the voluntary noise abatement path going east on takeoffs, from 10:30 am to 2:45 pm and most flying directly over my home.  Almost all were EASA, Fly 4 Fun aircraft and a few Embry Riddle. I was too busy working on the house to take photos.
There also was no unusual gap, such as close together that would force them to turn early to go north.  Some turn as soon as they reach the Tomoka River bridge and almost fly the US 1 path as they go north.
Below in purple is the path flights I am complaining about took.
