  • Infrastructure Assessment Tool (IAT)
    D. Infrastructure Assessment Tool (IAT) The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) created the Infrastructure Assessment Tool (IAT) to categorize Florida’s airports and assess their abilities to meet specific mission areas. Data was originally obtained for commercial service and general aviation (GA) airports to determine their performance in supporting aviation services when the tool was created in 2012. Data used to evaluate the airports in the IAT has not been updated since it was originally created and many airports have experienced changes to their facilities, activities, carriers, etc. None of these changes are reflected in the IAT data maintained in the Florida Aviation Database (FAD). IAT data is separated by airport classification, then further delineated by airport service categories. The IAT evaluates airport performance based on the data collected within each service category. The IAT was incorporated into the FDOT Aviation and Spaceports Office’s (ASO) FAD, the central repository for all data for all of Florida’s aviation facilities. The following three categories were assessed by the IAT for 19 of Florida’s commercial service airports:1 • Tourism (commercial service [CS])/business2 • Air cargo • Intercontinental service Each airport was scored by comparing the “airport service quotient” to the “optimal service quotient” which determines the “airport performance by role,” given as a percentage of the “optimal service quotient.” Table D-1 presents an example from the IAT analysis for a commercial service airport. As shown in the table, performance percentages ranged from 72 to 78 percent, indicating that this sample airport supports tourism and business more than air cargo or intercontinental service.
