Forecasts of IFR Aircraft Handled by FAA Air Route Traffic Control Centers, FY 2004-2015

摘要

This report provides forecasts of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) aircraft handled by individual Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC). These forecasts are based on the national forecasts reported in FAA Aerospace Forecasts Fiscal Years 2004-2015 (FAA-APO-04-1, March 2004). Final forecasts for the 22 individual centers are based upon the national forecast as well as input from regional staff. These forecasts serve as a base for the FAA planning and budget process in determining future requirements for facilities, equipment, and manpower. A summary of projected IFR aircraft handled for individual centers is presented in Table 1 on page 2.
