From page 24... ... This section provides the definition, data requirements, data sources, and data collection techniques for the airport APM performance measures, and begins with the definition of the system and service descriptive characteristics that are critical to providing context to the performance measures when the measures are used for comparison purposes among reporting airport APM systems. 5.1 System Descriptive Characteristics System descriptive characteristics of airport APM systems are descriptors that provide a general understanding of airport APM system size and help put into perspective the performance measures of such systems when they are used to compare performance among other airport APM systems.
