Public Comments on Reporting Requirements for Aircraft Returning to Departure Gate June 21, 2007 The U.S. Department of Transportation is hosting a public meeting to discuss the reporting of on-time aviation data, specifically the reporting of gate-departure time when an aircraft returns to the gate after an initial gate departure, but before the wheels-off time, and the need to report gate-departure time when the flight is ultimately cancelled. The meeting will be held June 20, 2007, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. By: Bernie Stankus

November 15, 2007 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - Bookmarked | Word As Published in the Federal Register - November 20, 2007 Regulatory Evaluation - Collection of New Aviation Data Elements | Word The U.S. Department of Transportation is proposing to collect additional data elements when flights are cancelled, diverted, or experience gate returns. The additional proposed data elements would fill in data gaps giving the Department, the industry, and the public a more accurate portrayal of on-ground delays after flights depart the gate but prior to the time they take off and after flights land but before they reach the gate. Based on previous air carrier comments, we estimate a first year increase in reporting burden of 900 hours per carrier or an industry increase of 18,000 hours. The increase in reporting burden is the time spent reprogramming the individual systems. The new data items are items that the carriers already capture in their ACARS, on-board computer system. The reprogramming effort is need to transfer the data elements into the fixed file format required by BTS for reporting purposes. After the carriers have revised their information systems, the reporting burden should be reduced to the pre-rulemaking level. We are requesting that air carriers provide estimates of what they perceive as increased costs and burdens from this proposed action. Assigning a dollar value to the rule’s benefits is a difficult task, as most of the benefits are intangible. Consumers will have more accurate data for making their transportation decisions. The FAA and airport management will have complete data on long tarmac delays, which should assist them assessing infrastructure needs and improvements. Additionally, this proposal addresses congressional concerns over limited data pertaining to long tarmac delays, diverted and cancelled flights. By: M. Clay Moritz
