INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS: AN OBSERVATION

This paper comments on the cause and nature of various data deficiencies for the purpose of defining potential problems and issues. Deficiencies in the current state of performance measures and analysis methods are discussed. Uncertainities concerning the ability to identify alternative tools and techniques to quantify airport capacity and delay factors is noted. Limited information has been assembled describing system-wide airspace capacity and delay factors and major efforts have not been devoted to establishing meaningful measures of airspace operating efficiency. Evaluations of airport and airspace capacity and delay have not attempted comprehensively to integrate system-wide factors. The causes of the present situation are noted.
