Abstract: The Department of Transportation acts as the conduit between the applicable U.S. air carriers (Major and National air carriers) and ICAO for supplying the U.S. portion of ICAO’s world-wide aviation data base. Major air carriers have annual operating revenues of over $1 billion. National air carriers have annual operating revenues of over $100 million to $1 billion. The airlines, manufacturers of aerospace products, airports authorities, trade associations, governmental bodies, and aviation consultants are all users of ICAO data, which is the only reliable and consistent data base on world aviation. ICAO data is vital to studies in aircraft design and marketing. The sale of U.S. built aircraft is one of the most positive factors in the U.S. trade balance. The vast majority of information that must be supplied to ICAO (over 99%), is extracted by the Department from its Form 41 data base. Nevertheless, some of ICAO’s financial information requirements exceed the data that the Department collects from U.S. carriers. Therefore, the Department conducts a special collection annually to fulfill its treaty obligation. This supplemental data collection was implemented by CAB Order 81-3-120. The degree of supplemental ICAO reporting depends on the level of the individual carrier to the Department. The supplemental ICAO reporting requires only those data elements required by ICAO which DOT cannot extract from individual carrier Form 41 submissions.
