5) THE AIRCRAFT COUNT DOES NOT MATCH THIS OTHER SOURCE?
This is a count by tail number of aircraft in service during the month for DOMESTIC flights only. If an aircraft does not fly during the month it does not count. It could be in maintenance or parked. Aircraft that are not registered in the USA are not available.
6) UTILIZATION SEEMS LOW?
Data is domestic only and that reduces utilization below other sources even for narrowbodies thay may normally fly to the Caribbean or Canada.
7) WHAT DOES MISSING MEAN?
The FAA provides a database of tail numbers and types. This database can be out of sync from operational data causing MISSING to appear.
8) THE REPORTED TYPE CHANGES FROM ONE MONTH TO ANOTHER?
For example, 73H and 738 both represent 737-800 models. There is not consistency in reporting between these types and aircraft may move from one category to another.
