ASPM Diversions Manual

Overview

The ASPM Diversions module of ASPM provides information on flight diversions as detected by an algorithm written by Mitre. Dates and times are based on the local date and time at the planned destination airport. They can be translated to GMT by applying the appropriate GMT offset for the planned destination airport.

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

For more information about diversion data, please see the specific definitions for Diversions:
