I don't see why what may be the busiest delta in the country should need experienced controllers.

is it really the busiest Delta? @BretCopeland

It's gotta be close, if it isn't.

@rbp #54 for 2014 (December's data isn't in ATADS yet though)

@voretaq7 among deltas or all airports?

We were 40something-th busiest tower for 2013 - we're slacking
@BretCopeland all towered fields that report to ATADS (so FAA and Contract towers)

yeah, so I wonder where we rank if you exclude B and C

<BANG> <WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM> <SMASH>
hmmm, apparently "class" doesn't mean "airspace class" in ATADS
rbp

what's #1?
voretaq7
voretaq7
<THUD> <SCREECH> <BOOM> (I will make you do my bidding, FAA computer system!)
@rbp ORD (as usual)
aspm.faa.gov/opsnet/sys/Tower.asp you can pull a ranking report there

i thought that was a B

It is. He means among all towers.

oh busiest class D? Idunno, but Vero Beach is busier than Republic and I know that's a class D
Hmmm, I can't seem to find a way to break this down by airspace classification. Stupid government :-/

I can't even get it to tell me anything at all. It just outputs a bunch of zeros.
I know I've used this thing before.

@BretCopeland oh check the date range
sometimes it goes screwy (and if you set years it defaults to the current year, which is empty right now)

It would appear that DVT (Phoenix Deer Valley) is the busiest delta with 321,295 tower operations.
(From 01/01/2014 To 11/30/2014)

@BretCopeland That's what I'm seeing too.
Ranked #20 out of all airports

@BretCopeland Impressive!

i guess that's because of flight training? @voretaq7 @BretCopeland

it would appear so, I don't see any obvious commercial service at DVT
