Data validation is performed by the Central Office for Delay Analysis CODA , on behalf of PRU, on each data delivery by airports and airlines, and data validation report are returned to the data providers. A threshold is established for data coverage, and data that does not pass the quality threshold is rejected.

The information is published for performance monitoring purposes in accordance with the relevant legislation. The accuracy of the measure is influenced by the availability and the reliability of both the duration and the IATA codes as reported by local bodies. The information is published each month - in general around 30 days after the end of the month in question. The internal databases are updated daily.

The statistical processing is performed once per month. The interpretation of the measure and comparisons across airports require due consideration of prevailing local circumstances airport infrastructure, etc. Checks have been carried out with a number of airports and there is generally a good level of coherence between the indicator results and the results from performance measurement systems of airport operators.

Metadata update Metadata last certified not applicable Metadata last update 15 July Statistical presentation Data description The ATC pre-departure delay is the additional time that the aircraft is held at the stand to avoid queuing at the departure runway. This performance indicator is further defined as follows: " i the indicator is the average ATC pre-departure delay per outbound IFR flight; ii the indicator includes all IFR flights taking-off at the departure airport and covers delays in start up due to air traffic control constraints when the aircraft is ready to leave the departure stand; iii the indicator is calculated for the whole calendar year and for each year of the reference period.

The scheduling and MTX offices would have to be involved to insure the aircraft with the heavier fuel load was 2 and it might actually take a supervisor of flying to physically check each aircraft prior to takeoff to insure proper stab trim settings for a MITO.

You are still my favorite airline — by choice! As a pilot, I am aware that gate departure time slots are important. Therefore passenger boarding protocol plays a huge part. Clearly the plane needs to be loaded rear seated passengers first and not the chaotic aisle blocking free for all currently in use. Next, overhead luggage. A laptop, purse or baby bag ok no charge. Back packs, roll ons, overstuffed suitcases, 25 dollars each or no charge if checked. With the present efficient baggage handling now in use, there is no excuse for waddling passengers with too much carry ons blocking the aisles and inconsiderately delaying departure.

Delays cost money and compromise arrival time slots.
