To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am seeking all non-sensitive (non-military, non-protected) records that include flight logs, flight data, airline and aircraft ownership of vessels or fleets, dates and times of flights, direction of travel, airports and other associated data. This should includes both international and domestic, and flights entering, leaving, or within the State of Alaska.

It is my understanding that your TFMS repository has both IFR and VFR data, and I am interested in both sets of data. If there are other systems or types of data (such as weather, commercial, other other data not listed) that are easily accessible by your team and not exempt from disclosure, I would greatly appreciate you including them.

I have performed additional research on previous requests that your organization has fulfilled in the past and I hope to make your job a bit easier!

Date Range: January 1, 1983 to January 1, 1989
Duration: 6 years
Altitude Range: 0' - 30,000' AGL
Area Label: State of Alaska
Area GeoJSON (GitHub): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glynnbird/usstatesgeojson/master/alaska.geojson
Output Format: CSV (XLSX if it is your preference)

The following are examples of requests that your organization has fulfilled in the past. They also demonstrate the type and volume of data that I am seeking for the geographic region and date range indicated:

1. TFMS data: FOIA 2018-004969
https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/flight-records-for-n365pt-50334/

2. TFMS, VFR, IFR reference: FOIA 2023-0305056
https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/faa-flights-freitas-new-time-period-138738/#file-1070747

I hope that this assists you and your team in processing this request and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions relating to the above.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Justin Seitz

Thanks, Judy! I appreciate it! So there are no historical flight records for 1980-1990 that I would be able to get for that geographic area? I am happy to file a subsequent request, I just want to make sure I am not inappropriately using your time. Let me know and we can go from there.

Justin

Ok thank you! You may close this request as non-responsive. Thanks so much for your help!
