REPORT OF THE 



No. 3 



machine was on its base and the weather was fit for flying. The machine days 

 used is the total number of days that the machine was requisitioned and used. 

 Since a detailed table is printed herewith, it is deemed sufficient to only mention 

 here the interpretation given the terms, and to make note that there is very little 

 variation in the averages for the fleet operations in the Eastern and Western 

 Districts. 



Eastern Western 



Machine Days District District 



Average available 182 188 



Average possible 156 157 



Average used 97 103 



Number of machines 12 14 



It will be noticed from the above table that even though the Western District 

 had two more machines on its strength, its averages were well maintained in 

 comparison to the Eastern District. 



The table herewith sets out in detail the operation by days for each machine 

 of the fleet, without reference to station or district. It will be noticed in the 

 totals of the columns, that the fleet aggregates reveal some significant points. 

 For instance, the percentage of machine days clear but not requisitioned, in 

 relation to total machine days weather fit, amounts to 34.5 per cent.
