The information received by the states, airports, and MPOs from their aircraft traffic counting programs is being used for a variety of purposes, including justification for airport improvement projects, justification for air traffic control towers, airport environmental documentation, forecasting, economic impact statements, performance measures, FAA Airport Master Record Form 5010 reporting, system planning, justification for navigational aids, and airport planning studies. Because the most common method for estimating aircraft operations (asking the airport manager or other airport personnel)
