... 43 This chapter provides an overview of the data sources related to metrics and includes information related to accessing the databases and considerations in using the data and interpreting the results. Various sources of data exist from FAA and U.S.DOT that provide information on air traffic operations and performance that could be used by airport operators.

... Data Sources and Considerations 51 It is important to note that differences exist between ASPM flight records within the Efficiency and Metrics groupings. ASPM Efficiency flights are intended to capture all traffic handled by controllers at the ASPM77 airports, whereas the Metric flights only include complete records of itinerant flights to ensure the metrics computed are accurate.
