Cost of Delay Module

Abstract

This paper addresses the cost of the delay module that was developed by Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center to be incorporated into the National Airspace System Analysis Capability (NASPAC) model. This module was developed to address the savings which could be realized when changes are made to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) System. The purpose of this module is to translate delay into a cost metric and, thus, give policy makers a better understanding of potential cost saving measures. These cost saving measures are a direct result of an operational or procedural change to the ATC System. Cost estimates for major air carriers using the National Airspace System (NAS) were derived from Form 41 (operating expenses) data provided by the Office of Airline Statistics. General aviation and military cost estimates were derived from the Economic Values for Evaluation of Federal Aviation Administration Investment and Regulatory Programs, FAA-APO-89-10. The cost of the delay module has been tested and is fully operational with the latest release of NASPAC.
