There are two options for submitting your enplanement data to the FAA:

spreadsheet.

2.   Save the file to your computer. This file will be used to submit in Step 2.

3.   Open the ATCO Data Template from your computer and enter or transfer your

enplanement data directly into the Enplanement Data worksheet.

4.   Save the ATCO Data Template with completed enplanement data by selecting Save As

and update the file name to include - Calendar Year, Operator Name and FAA Certificate

you have received an email from FAA ACAIS containing an Adobe (PDF) copy of the

signed form and submitted enplanement data. You should receive this email within

minutes. This confirms your file and certification signature has been transmitted to the
