40 Winter Operations Baseline and Performance Targets After setting winter operations program goals and objectives, and identifying associated APIs and performance measures, a performance and cost baseline can be established to understand existing operating capabilities and set performance targets. A baseline can also be used to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of newly implemented operational strategies and tactics.

Additionally, the process can illustrate the general relationship between SRE runway occupancy time and ATC runway closure duration, potentially revealing opportunities to improve existing procedural or communication inefficiencies between the airport operator and ATC.

Winter Operations Baseline and Performance Targets 45 7.3 Document Cost Baseline The fiscal pressures facing every airport and stakeholder drive the need for financial accountability and cost efficiency. This, in turn, drives the need to establish and document a cost baseline for current operations.
