ESTIMATED AIR TRAFFIC LOADS OVER AIR DIVISIONS IN THE YEARS 1960 TO 1975
Abstract
Estimates of peak air traffic loads over air division areas were generated to aid in the design of an integrated air traffic control/air defense system. Basic data sources are Federal Aviation Agency IFR peak day measurements and the Curtis Report. This information was updated with recent traffic measurements and converted to obtain estmates of the number of instantaneous airborne aircraft during a peak hour of a peak VFR day for the years 1960, 1965, 1970, and 1975 with military, general aviation, and air carrier categories, divided into altitude strata below 15,000 feet, 15,000 to 24,000 feet, and above 24,000 feet. The hourly variation in traffic loads is presented and used to determine the number of airborne aircraft in each air division during periods of medium and low traffic activity on a peak VFR day in 1965.
