Department of Transportation Division of Aviation that makes the origin and destination data from Federal Aviation Administration filed flight plans easily accessible for airports. One of the tools is a <a href=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/app\/profile\/weston.head\/viz\/FiledFlightPlansforNorthCarolinaAirports\/Dashboard\">dashboard<\/a> showing the geographic reach of each of the state&#8217;s 72 public-use airports, including the number of filed flights to and from each airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ITRE also developed an effective way to bring airport flight data to life with animated visualizations, including this example from <a href=\"https:\/\/itre.ncsu.edu\/focus\/aviation\/airport-data-visualizations\/\">Duplin County Airport<\/a> (DPL) showing the significant geographic reach of even a small airport in a rural community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your audience is the general public, local organizations,\nor elected officials, animated visualizations can help tell the story of your\nairport by clearly showing its reach and the connections it facilitates.\nSharing the visualization during presentations, in your terminal, or on social\nmedia can help engage your audience, demonstrate seasonal changes through the\nyear, and educate your community about the impact of your airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Findley, &#8220;the NASAO Annual Convention\nprovided a fantastic opportunity to network with other states and learn about how\nstates and airports are working to tell their story.&#8221; Through connections\nfacilitated by the convention, ITRE plans to continue developing these tools\nfor other states and airports across the country\u2013so be on the lookout for new\nresources available in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact <a href=\"Daniel_Findley@ncsu.edu\">Daniel Findley<\/a> for more information about ITRE\u2019s aviation offerings including airport data dashboards and visualizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo above &#8211; Making the case for greater investment in airports during the annual conference of the National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO), held in Greenville, SC. are from left, Daniel Findley, ITRE, Michael J.
