AIRPORT RUNWAY CAPACITY AND DELAYS--1

Abstract

When both landing and departing aircraft use a single runway the flow capacity and the delays to aircraft depend on the operating rules which govern use of the runway. In this paper the author analyses those situations where landing aircraft have priority over departures but where departures must satisfy several minimum spacing requirements before they can be interposed between landings. By assuming that interarrival times of landing aircraft are independently sampled random variables, from a translated exponential distribution, solutions are obtained for the total movement capacity and the delays to departures at a single runway.
