This report contains the fiscal years 1978 to 1989 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forecasts of aviation activity and measures of workload at FAA facilities. These include airports with FAA control towers, air route traffic control centers, and flight service stations. Detailed forecasts were made for the four major users of the national aviation system: air carriers, air taxi, general aviation and the military. This report also contains for the first time a specific forecast for commuter airlines. The forecasts have been prepared to meet the budget and manpower planning needs of the constituent units of FAA and to provide information that can be used by state and local authorities, by the aviation industry and the general public. The overall outlook throughout the forecast period is for moderate economic growth, declining unemployment, and decreasing inflation. Based on these assumptions, aviation activity is forecast to increase by Fiscal Year 1982 by 29 percent at towered airports, 32 percent at air route traffic control centers and 49 percent in flight services performed. The corresponding percentage increases for Fiscal Year 1989 are 49, 64 and 104, respectively. General aviation and air taxis (including commuters) will account for most of the growth in activity at FAA facilities. (Author).

The report presents the forecasts of Instrument Flight Rule (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 forecasts show that total aircraft handled will increase from 25.7 million in FY 1977 to 41.5 million in FY 1989. These national total numbers along with those for the intervening years are broken down by FAA region and by each air route traffic control center in this report. (Author).
