This paper discusses the service availability criteria that representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Organization (ATO) have defined for air traffic control (ATC) air/ground (A/G) voice communications in the Gulf of Mexico. In order to evaluate these criteria, models that relate airspace coverage with the availability of ground-based communications systems had to be developed. This paper discusses the development of the models and their application to four en route sectors in the Gulf of Mexico.
