ASPM Airport Analysis Manual

Overview

The ASPM Airport Analysis module of ASPM provides information on aircraft departure and arrival times and flight delays for the ASPM77 airports compared to the schedule and flight plan times. Access to this module is restricted. To view reports including arrivals and departures for non-ASPM airports, see the ASPM City Pair Analysis Manual.

ASPM Airport Analysis data can be viewed on the FAA Operations & Performance Data Web site.

For more information about the ASPM system, see Aviation System Performance Metrics (ASPM).

Airports

In the Airport Analysis view, you may select airports to obtain information about their departure and arrival activity.

When the default 'Quick Entry Mode' checkbox is selected, you can select airports by entering the airport code (or several codes separated by a space) to search for matching airports. By deselecting the 'Quick Entry Mode' option, you will be able to enter airport ID, name, or partial name of the airport to search for a list of matches. The autocomplete feature will suggest possible names of airports in a drop down menu. You may also select pre-defined groups such as ASPM 77, OPSNET 45, or Core to insert a set of airports. The report defaults to the ASPM77 airports if no airport group is selected. For reports including departures and arrivals to non-ASPM airports, see the ASPM City Pair Analysis Manual.

Carriers

In the Airport Analysis view, you may select specific airline carriers for your report. For a list of available carriers, see ASPM Carriers.

When the default 'Quick Entry Mode' checkbox is selected, you can enter full name or full code of the carrier to search for matches. By deselecting the 'Quick Entry Mode' option, you will be able to enter full or partial name or code of carrier to search for a list of matches. The autocomplete feature will suggest possible names of carriers in a drop down menu. To include all carriers, do not select any. Non-ASPM carriers are grouped under the the code "OTH", indicating Other (non-ASPM carriers). When the report is grouped by carrier, the report displays departures and arrivals for those carriers at the ASPM77 airports. For reports displaying all flights for ASPM carriers including those to or from non-ASPM airports, see the ASPM City Pair Analysis Manual.

Grouping

In this section, you may group the fields consistent with your desired report format. At least one selection has to be made. Click the green area beside the filter in the desired order. If the report is restricted to only one facility, then 'Date' is the only necessary grouping field. Select the 'Plus' button to choose the groupings for the report. Selected fields will appear on the right. Selected fields can be removed by selecting the 'Minus' button next to each selected field. When the report is grouped by carrier, the report displays departures and arrivals for those carriers at the ASPM77 airports. For reports displaying all flights for ASPM carriers including those to or from non-ASPM airports, see the ASPM City Pair Analysis Manual.

In Airport Analysis, the grouping options are:

• Airport (only available in Airport Operations)
• Date
• Local Hour
• GMT Hour*
• Carrier

*When GMT Hour is selected, the report will also show Local hour (Local Hour will automatically appear as a selected grouping option). Data will be ordered by local hour.

Filters

In this section, you may select supplemental filters for your reports. In Airport Analysis, users may restrict their search by selecting the available options:

• Use Flight Plan: Include data according to submitted flight plan (may not coincide with scheduled time).
• Use Schedule: Include data according to scheduled departures and arrivals.
• Include Early Flights: Selecting the 'Include Early Flights' box will calculate delays with early flights represented as a negative delay. If this box is not selected, no credit is given for flights that arrive or depart early for the purposes of calculating delays.

Note that in the EDCT Compliance Report filter options are restricted only to Local Hour.

Run

Selecting the 'Run' option will run the query and create a report. In the ASPM system, you may save the search criteria you used to create the report by entering a name for the report and clicking the 'Save' button. From then on, the report name will appear in the 'My Reports' section.
