This book was released on 2001 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, airline flight delays have been among the most vexing problems in the national transportation system. They reached unprecedented levels in 2000, when one flight in four was delayed. Although bad weather has historically been the main cause of delays, a growing reason has been the inability of the nations air transport system to efficiently absorb all of the aircraft trying to use limited airspace or trying to take off or land at busy airports. Recent events most notably the terrorist attacks on buildings in New York City and Washington, D.C., using hijacked airliners, and the economic slowdown that preceded these attacks have changed the extent of the delay problem, at least for the short term. With many airlines cutting their flights by 20 percent or more, the air transport system is having less difficulty absorbing the volume of flights. Whether the volume of flights will continue at these lowered levels is unknown. However, it is likely that a more robust economy and less public apprehension about flying will lead to renewed demands on the air transport system. If so, concerns about delays and the actions being taken to address them may once again command national attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since airports in metropolitan areas complement and interact with each other, they must be planned and operated as part of a system of airports. Furthermore, as air traffic continues to increase, more airports in metropolitan areas approach and reach capacity operation. Therefore, it is desirable to plan each airport in a metropolitan area as part of a system of airports in order to obtain the most efficient traffic flow, as well as the most efficient use of facilities. The operational factors involved in planning a system of airports in metropolitan areas are analyzed and used to determine the causes of congestion. Data obtained from previous studies is used to understand and demonstrate the operational factors and congestion. Airport congestion is defined in quantitative form for an individual airport and a system of airports. A methodology is presented that permits the many factors affecting the operation of an airport in a metropolitan system area to be evaluated quantitatively. The annual demand at which these airports will reach their practical annual capacity is determined by considering the effects of airport interactions and by determining quantitatively when congestion will occur at one airport and in the airport system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, FAA convened a team to assess the Nation's future airport capacity needs. This effort, which became known as the Future Airport Capacity Task (FACT), represents a strategic approach to identify the airports that have the greatest need for additional capacity in the future. The identification is based on a macro-level analysis of the factors and trends contributing to congestion and delay at the busiest airports in the Nation. By embarking on this initiative, FAA seeks to ensure that the long-term capacity of the U.S. aviation system can adequately serve future demand. The team is led by the Office of Airports (ARP) and includes active participation from the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Capacity Analysis Group and the MITRE Corporation's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD). The FAA's Office of Aviation Policy and Plans (APO) and the NextGen office (ANG) are also involved in the conduct of the studies. The first report in the series, commonly known as FACT1, was published in 2004 and identified shortfalls in the system through 2020. This study was the first top-down review of the busiest commercial service airports in the Nation. The report's findings supported the need for a substantial number of major airport capacity projects nationwide. After considering all planned improvements at the time, 18 airports were projected as needing additional capacity by 2020. An updated report, FACT2, was published in 2007 to identify shortfalls through 2025. FACT2 included a more transparent methodology and refined analytical methods. Fourteen busy hub airports located in the Nation's most populated regions (such as the Northeast Corridor and California coast) were projected to be capacity-constrained in 2025 even with completion of all planned improvements, as then contemplated. Notably, the report also reaffirmed that key runway projects would allow several hub airports to reduce delays and continue growing; this supported the completion of five new runways that have been commissioned at hub airports since the report's publication. The report provided an initial look at capacity benefits from the Next Generation air traffic control (ATC) system, better known as NextGen. The FAA's investment in NextGen began in 2007. The graphic following the Administrator's letter provides a comparison of the FACT1, 2, and 3 report results. All of the FACT reports have begun with a broad sampling of several hundred commercial service and busy general aviation airports nationwide. From this initial step, a smaller number of airports are identified for more detailed study. Both FACT1 and FACT2 evaluated capacity and delay at 56 airports, including the 35 airports that were part of the now completed Operational Evolution Plan (OEP). FACT3 conducted a more detailed evaluation of 48 airports, including the 30 Core airports that FAA currently tracks as a measure of system performance in the National Airspace System (NAS). Since the publication of FACT2, the aviation industry in the United States has continued to rapidly evolve. Due to the Great Recession and volatile (often higher) fuel costs, airlines have emphasized better ticket yields, fees, and load factors, rather than improved market share as a strategy for profitability. Airlines have consolidated through mergers and have increasingly focused their connecting operations at major hubs. While the use of 50-seat regional jets (RJ) has grown substantially during the last decade, these aircraft are now leaving the fleet due to their higher fuel costs and upcoming major maintenance cycles. Airlines are replacing these smaller RJs with larger RJs and narrow-body aircraft, enabling airlines to accommodate passenger growth but with fewer operations. Collectively, these factors have resulted in relatively flat traffic growth over the last few years.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
