Using Airport Metrics

Major airports are monitored to show the flights that are impacted by TMI's (Traffic Management Initiatives) while providing summarized statistics for delays, stops, cancellations, and diversions. Flights in My Fleet are used to determine the list.

The selected airport list can consist of an unlimited number of airports and are saved in the user's profile. When many resources are used, your machine performance may slow. Keep the number of airports being displayed to a reasonable number.

To open the Airport Metric window

In the AFM tab of the ribbon, in the Tools area, click Airport Metric.
The Airport Metrics window opens in a new browser window.
