The report provides forecasts of IFR aircraft handled by FAA air route traffic control centers (ARTCC). It serves as a base for the FAA planning and budget process in determining future requirements for facilities, equipment, and manpower.

The report presents forecasts of military air traffic activity at facilities operated by the Federal Aviation Administration for fiscal years 1975 through 1986. These data are required for proper planning to meet the demands which the United States military services will place on the National Aviation System. The report is used as a guide in determining the need for larger or additional FAA facilities, for changes or consolidations, and for possible increases or decreases in personnel at existing facilities.

This report furnishes terminal and enroute air traffic activity information of the National Airspace System. The data have been reported by the FAA-operated airport traffic control towers (ATCTs), air route traffic control centers (ARTCCs), flight service stations (FSSs), combined station towers (CS/Ts), international flight service stations (IFSSs), and approach control facilities.
