A Survey to Determine Flight Plan Data and Flight Schedule Accuracy.

Abstract

The report describes a survey made to determine operational flight plan data and flight scheduling accuracy vs. published schedules and/or stored flight plan data. This accuracy was determined by sampling tracer flights of varying lengths, selected terminals, and high altitude sectors; then comparing this data with stored computer data, thus, revealing average delay areas. This information will aid operational analysts and programmers to construct flow control software programs. (Author)
