Book excerpt: Introduction: The estimation of average and total airside delays and delay costs at major airports requires considerable and time-consuming effort, usually centered on an analysis based either on queuing theory or on computer-supported simulation. Alternatively (and preferably, if one can afford it) an extensive data-collection program on delays at the airport of interest can be initiated. Such a program unfortunately must often be carried out over long periods of time and is fraught with statistical pitfalls. Besides, any amount of information is of little value to future planning and forecasting if it is not coupled with an understanding of the underlying relationships between capacity, demand and delays at the airport. As a means of by-passing such difficulties, the work described here is aimed at providing a simple and practical tool for estimating delay-related statistics quickly and inexpensively. In a way, it is an attempt to provide planners and airport administrators alike with an easy-to-use "handbook" from which airport delays can be obtained using only knowledge of a few basic variables associated with any given airport. The basic quantity with which the handbook deals is that of average total daily delays (TDDEL), i.e. the total delays suffered in the course of a typical day by aircraft attempting to use the runways of an airport. The delays referred to here are solely those due to normal runway congestion and do not reflect problems that may be due, for instance, to exceptional weather conditions or to other causes. No distinction is made between delays suffered by landing aircraft which have to queue in the air and those suffered by departing aircraft waiting on the ground (the latter being obviously a less severe condition). It should also be emphasized at the outset that delay estimates provided through this method lay no special claim to extreme accuracy. It is believed however that good approximations (more than adequate for most planning purposes) will most often be obtained. Exceptions do exist, as described in Chapter 2 and in Chapter 3 (which also discuss the question of accuracy in some detail). Chapter 2 summarizes the technical approach used in arriving at the main product of this work, the TDDEL graphs. The theoretical methodology, the sequence of assumptions used, the computational approach, and a brief discussion of the accuracy and sensitivity of the results are presented in that order. Chapter 3 is intended as (and written in the form of) a self-sufficient user's guide for the estimation of delay statistics through the TDDEL graphs. It also contains several numerical examples illustrating the use of this tool. The reader who is not interested in the technical details may want to omit Chapter 2 and read Chapter 3 only with no loss of continuity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a detailed analysis of the impact of Area Navigation (RNAV) on ATC controller's tasks and the resulting productivity of control sectors, and of the impact on airport and enroute system capacities. The results are expressed in terms of projected savings in ATC controller staff growth requirements (man-years and dollars), and in terms of savings in aircraft delays (aircraft time and fuel consumption, and dollars). The terminal area and enroute (high and low altitude) environments were considered separately. The analysis considered the time period from 1982 to 2000. The effects of other features of the Upgraded Third Generation ATC System on controller tasks and system capacity were considered directly in each analysis. All dollar results were computed as 1976 present value equivalents which were used to update a comprehensive RNAV benefit/cost analysis from an earlier report under this contract. (Author).
