Description
Summary:This report summarizes the traffic data collected in the North Atlantic Region Traffic Survey during FY 1962. Monthly peak day flight plan data was collected from 12 participating Oceanic Area Control Centers by the Federal Aviation Agency. An estimated total of 110,000 unduplicated flights (i. e., flights counted only once regardless of the number of OACC's involved) flew somewhere within the North Atlantic Region during FY 1962. The peak day for the survey was September 10, 1961, when there were 291 civil and 209 military flights combining for a total of 500 flights. Approximately two-thirds of all surveyed flights were by civil aircraft. Military flights above 45,000 feet and those flying in airspace altitude reservations were not included in the survey. The most frequently used altitudes at mid-Atlantic (30 degrees W meridian) were the 33,000 and 35,000 foot flight levels. Instantaneous airborne aircraft counts (IAC) were calculated at the beginning of each hour during the monthly peak days. A peak IAC of 94 aircraft occurred at 0500Z, on September 10, 1961.
