Accurate information on aircraft activity at non-towered airports is of significant concern to airport owners and operators as well as to those responsible for planning, developing, and administering these facilities. Unfortunately, without on-site air traffic controllers it is not possible to accurately record aircraft activities. This report summarizes the current state-of-the-practice for counting airport operations at non-towered airports. Five primary areas are addressed: (1) current procedures for counting airport activity, (2) current data collection practices in Iowa and other midwestern states, (3) review of existing literature and research on this topic, (4) available technology and technology providers, and (5) alternatives and recommendations for future data collection.
