The purpose of this part is to set forth required data that certain air carri
16、ers must submit to the Depart-ment and to computer reservations system vendors in computerized form, except as otherwise provided, so that information on air carriers quality of service can be made available to con-sumers of air transportation. This part also requires that service quality data be di
17、sclosed directly to consumers. 234.2 Definitions.

Discontinued flight means a flight droppe
18、d from a carriers computer res-ervation system more than seven cal-endar days before its scheduled depar-ture. Diverted flight means a flight which is operated from the scheduled origin point to a point other than the sched-uled destination point in the carriers published schedule. For example, a ca
19、r-rier has a published schedule for a flight from A to B to C. If the carrier were to actually fly an A to C oper-ation, the A to B segment is a diverted flight, and the B to C segment is a can-celled flight. Extra-section flight means a flight conducted as an integral part of sched-uled passenger s
20、ervice, that has not been provided for in published sched-ules and is required for transportation of traffic that cannot be accommo-dated on the regularly scheduled flight. Flight means any nonstop scheduled passenger flight segment with a spe-cific flight number scheduled to be op-erated pursuant t
21、o a published sched-ule within a specific origin-destination city pair, other than transborder or foreign air transportation. In the case of reporting to computer reservations system vendors, flight also means one- stop or multi-stop single plane sched-uled operations that include any flight segment
22、s for which performance is re-ported pursuant to this part. Late or late flight means a flight that arrives at the gate 15 minutes or more after its published arrival time. Mishandled-baggage report means a re-port filed with a carrier by or on behalf of a passenger that claims loss, delay, damage o
23、r pilferage of baggage. New flight means a flight added to a carriers schedule to operate in a spe-cific origin-destination city pair and not scheduled to depart within 30 min-utes of any discontinued flight that was contained in the carriers pub-lished schedules for the same city pair during the pr
24、evious month. On-time means a flight that arrives less than 15 mintues after its published arrival time. On-time performance means the per-centage of scheduled operations of a specific flight that an air carrier oper-ates on-time during a month. On-time performance code means a sin-gle character det
25、ermined in accordance with the provisions of this part that re-flects the monthly on-time perform-ance of certain nonstop flights and sin-gle plane one-stop or multi-stop flights, the schedule and availability of which are listed in a computer reserva-tion system (CRS) regulated by 14 CFR part 255.
26、Reportable flight means any nonstop flight, including a mechanically de-layed flight, to or from any airport within the contiguous 48 states that accounts for at least 1 percent of do-mestic scheduled-passenger enplanements in the previous calendar year, as reported to the Department pursuant to par
27、t 241 of this title. Quali-fying airports will be specified periodi-cally in accounting and reporting di-rectives issued by the Office of Airline Information. Reporting carrier means an air carrier certificated under 49 U.S.C. 41102 that accounted for at least 1 percent of do-mestic scheduled-passen
28、ger revenues in the 12 months ending March 31 of each year, as reported to the Department pursuant to part 241 of this title. Re-porting carriers will be identified peri-odically in accounting and reporting directives issued by the Office of Air-line Information. VerDate Mar2010 13:23 Feb 23, 2011 J

(3) NAS cancellations are caused by circumstances within
49、 the National Aviation System. This term is used to refer to a broad set of conditions: weather-non-extreme, airport oper-ations, heavy traffic volume, air traffic control, etc. (4) Security cancellations may be the result of malfunctioning screening or other security equipment or a breech of security that causes the evacuation of the airport or individual concourses, or the need to re-screen passengers.
