Current Aviation Statistics: Air Traffic Activity Terminal Area Relationships. Fiscal Years 1977 and 1978.

Abstract

Busy hour estimates are obtained from periodic counts of 60 minutes in duration. These counts are made during known high activity periods for each traffic category. From this sample, tower personnel select a count which is representative of daily busy hour activity for each category. The statistical tables in this publication contain traffic estimates for each airport at which an air traffic control tower operated during all of FY 1977 and FY 1978. Provided with peak day and busy hour counts are average day and hour operations computed from the annual operations counts. Measures of peaking characteristics are given by the ratios peak day to average day and busy hour to average hour by individual airport by size group. (Author)
