... 8 Data Analysis The survey results, interviews with case example airports, and analysis of reports, plans, and other documents supplied by airports were used to identify effective approaches to exercises, evaluate suitability of methods for smaller airports, identify gaps, and extract lessons learned. These procedures were analyzed for common themes and alternative approaches to a given exercise objective, and the data arranged in spreadsheets that allowed isolation of procedures from any airport pertinent to a case example or to the synthesis of effective practices and major lessons learned.
