This report presents forecasts of military air traffic activity at facilities operated by the Federal Aviation Administration for fiscal years 1977 through 1988. 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 increases or decreases in personnel at existing facilities. Data on number of active military aircraft and hours flown were supplied by the office of Secretary of Defense. Data covers the period fiscal years 1977-1983 for the three military services. Because detailed planning data beyond this timeframe were not available from the Department of Defense, the 1983 levels were extended forward for general planning guidance for 1984-1988. The federal Government's fiscal year changed to October 1- September 30 beginning in 1976 as part of the new law revamping the entire budgetary process. This is one of a series of specialized forecast studies issued annually by the FAA Aviation Forecast Branch, Office of Aviation Policy. Suggestions and comments on the scope and content of this report are requested and will be given careful consideration in planning future editions. (Author).
