| 15 (14%) | `ELOEL3 FORSS GUTZZ SOCKK4` | FL210–FL280 | 217 sm |
| 6 (6%) | `AEROZ2 SJT HNKER VKTRY2` | FL220–FL300 | 564 sm |
**Key Observations:**
- **ELOEL3** is the primary departure (used in ~90% of flights).
- **FORSS/GUTZZ** are key waypoints.
- **Shortest route:** `ELOEL3 FORSS GUTZZ SOCKK4` (**217 sm**).
#### **Altitude Profile**
- **Most common:** 12,000–FL280 (low-altitude corridor).
- **FL300+:** Rare, used for overflight traffic.

### **3.2 KDFW → KAUS (Southbound)**
#### **Top Routes**
| **Frequency** | **Route** | **Altitude** | **Distance** |
|--------------|-------------------------------|-------------------|-------------|
| 96 (92%) | `JASPA7 WINDU SEWZY6` | 15,000–FL300 | **195 sm** |
| 4 (4%) | `WSTEX2 WSTEX DILLO LAIKS4` | FL230–FL330 | 357 sm |
| 2 (2%) | `WSTEX2 DOSXX SJT JCT DILLO LAIKS4` | FL260–FL340 | 474 sm |
**Key Observations:**
- **JASPA7** dominates (92% of flights).
- **WINDU** is the primary waypoint.
- **Shortest route:** `JASPA7 WINDU SEWZY6` (**195 sm**).
#### **Altitude Profile**
- **Most common:** 15,000–FL300 (low-altitude preferred).
- **FL340+:** Rare, likely for traffic separation.

## **4. Key Comparisons**
### **4.1 Distance Efficiency**
| **Route** | **Shortest Distance** | **Longest Detour** |
|--------------------|----------------------|--------------------|
| **KAUS → KDAL** | 217 sm | 716 sm |
| **KDAL → KAUS** | 200 sm | 761 sm |
| **KAUS → KDFW** | 217 sm | 918 sm |
| **KDFW → KAUS** | 195 sm | 648 sm |
**Takeaway:**
- **KDFW ↔ KAUS is the most efficient** (195–217 sm).
- **KDAL routes are slightly longer** due to airspace constraints.
---
### **4.2 Altitude Trends**
| **Direction** | **Typical Altitudes** | **Notes** |
|--------------------|----------------------|------------------------------|
| **KAUS → KDAL** | 17,000–FL300 | Low-altitude corridor. |
| **KDAL → KAUS** | 13,000–FL260 | Similar low-altitude profile. |
| **KAUS → KDFW** | 12,000–FL280 | Optimized for short hops. |
| **KDFW → KAUS** | 15,000–FL300 | Slightly higher than KDAL. |
---
### **4.3 Outliers & Detours**
- **Long Detours (500+ sm):**
- `AEROZ2 SJT HNKER VKTRY2` (564 sm, KAUS→KDFW).
- `KKITY5 DOSXX SJT JCT SAT BELLR6` (761 sm, KDAL→KAUS).
- **Weather Avoidance:**
- Routes via **SJT/JCT** suggest central Texas weather reroutes.
---
## **5. Recommendations**
### **Optimal Routes**
| **Direction** | **Best Route** | **Distance** | **Altitude** |
|--------------------|-------------------------------|-------------|-------------|
| **KAUS → KDAL** | `SAYBR3 SAYBR CHEVE MNNDO4` | 217 sm | FL250 |
| **KDAL → KAUS** | `RAMBL6 WINDU SEWZY6` | 200 sm | FL220 |
| **KAUS → KDFW** | `ELOEL3 FORSS GUTZZ SOCKK4` | 217 sm | FL240 |
| **KDFW → KAUS** | `JASPA7 WINDU SEWZY6` | 195 sm | FL250 |
### **Avoid Unless Necessary**
- **SJT/JCT** routes (add 300+ sm).
- **ABI/SPS** detours (500+ sm).
---
## **6. Conclusion**
- **KDFW ↔ KAUS is the most efficient** (195–217 sm).
- **KDAL routes are slightly longer** but still optimized.
- **Low-altitude corridors (12,000–FL300)** dominate for short-haul flights.
**Next Steps:**
- Real-time wind optimization.
- Weather-related reroute analysis.
