... 4 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Airport GSE comprise a wide assortment of equipment and vehicles that provide essential support services to aircraft when they are on the ground. Other common GSE functions pertain to the service and maintenance of airport terminal buildings and other infrastructure.

... Introduction and Background 5 • Increases levels of accuracy -- Using airport-specific GSE data and/or updating the former default data can generate more accurate emissions inventories for this source, both of which are objectives of this research project. • Fosters consistency -- The application of the suggestions contained in this guidebook for collecting and applying GSE data will help to promote greater consistency and comparability between emissions inventories under different airports, years, and/or scenarios.

... 6 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling • Chapter 5: Modifying and Using Default GSE Emissions Model Data -- In the event that in-the-field data collection cannot be taken due to time or resource constraints, or if GSE equipment data are not available, this chapter specifies suggested default data to be used for the purposes of emissions calculation. Additionally, suggestions are provided on how to adjust these defaults if limited site-specific information is available or if it is otherwise conducive to the selected inventory strategy.
