 ASPM and Other Reporting Systems
ASQP ASPM OPSNET
Data from 19 carriers provided monthly Data available for all carriers at 75 airports Count of operations provided for towers,
for all domestic flights centers and TRACONS

Actual out of the gate, off the runway, on On a next day basis, OOOI data provided Delays over 15 consecutive minutes
the runway and in the gate time (OOOI) for 9 carriers (6 ASQP carriers plus FedEx, (clock starts when flight comes under
provided UPS and Air Canada) FAA control) are provided

Causal information provided for flights ASPM imports ASQP data when it is Delays are those that are attributable to
arriving 15 minutes or more past schedule available, usually 25 days after the end of the National Airspace System (NAS) and
(available from June 2003) the month weather

Percent on-time based on flights Percent on-time based on flights flown Causes of delays are provided (weather,
scheduled (counts cancelled and (cancelled flights and diversions not volume, equipment, runway, other)
diversions as delayed) included)

Trends should be the same as ASPM or

ASQP but count of delays and percent of
operations delayed are not comparable

Count of delays are assigned to the

facility where the cause occurred not
where the delay occurred

 ASPM Overview
What is it?
Integrated database of air traffic operations
operations, airline schedules
schedules, operations and delays
delays,
weather information, runway information, and related statistics.
What is it used for?
Reporting and analysis of operating performance of the National Airspace System (NAS)
(NAS).
Major Benefits:
Internet interface to allow for quick analysis of large amount of operational data.
System provides the capability to download data to individual analysts’ workstations for
further study.
Features:
Data are available from January 2000 to present for 55 airports. Data for additional 20
airports are available from October 2004 to present.
Actual traffic and airport information is confidential and access is restricted by password.
Data come from ARINC’s Out-Off-On-In (OOOI), Enhanced Traffic Management System
(ETMS), US Department of Transportation’s Aviation’s Airline Service Quality Survey (ASQP),
weather data, airport arrival and departure rates (15-interval), airport runway configurations
and cancellations.

Arrival/departure rates and runway configuration data are available from January 1, 2000 to
present Delay information is available from January 1

present. Data are Internet
Internet-
accessible by 0700 each week day.
OOOI data are available for American, Air Canada, Continental, Delta, FedEx, Northwest,

United, United Parcel Service and US Airways y basis from ARINC. AirTran,
Alaska, America West, American Eagle, ATA, Atlantic Southeast, Comair, ExpressJet, Frontier,
Hawaiian, Independence, JetBlue, Skywest, and Southwest provide OOOI data through DOT
On-Time system.

 ASPM Definitions

Time = Departures/Arrivals less than 15 minutes late when compared to Schedule.

ayed = Departures/Arrivals 15 minutes or more late when compared to Schedule.

i-Out = Actual Taxi-Out Time minus Unimpeded Taxi-Out Time.

borne = Actual Airborne Time minus Carrier Submitted Time Enroute.

i-In = Actual Taxi-In Time minus Unimpeded Taxi-In Time.

e = Actual Gate Departure Time minus Scheduled Departure Time.

port Departure = Actual Off Time minus (Scheduled Gate Departure Time plus Unimpeded Taxi
Taxi-Out
Out
e).

ck = Actual Gate-to-Gate minus Scheduled Gate-to-Gate.

val = Actual Arrival Time minus Scheduled Time.
