(3) Disclose the activity levels by aircraft types,including, but not limited to, operations by Part 36 stage, operations by jetand propeller-powered aircraft, by air carrier or private operators, allpresented by periods of time selected by the system operator.
(d) The AOMS reports shall be capable of expansion to provideadditional data relating to flight track or corridor utilization, air trafficfix usage, and other information which may become desirable as a result ofnoise abatement and land use compatibility planning.
(e) The AOMS shall be procured and in effect by June 30,1999.
