An Extension of the Throughput Runway Capacity Methodology to Include Multiple Glide Path Lengths and Angles.

Abstract

The report extends the single runway IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) capacity methodology developed in MTR-4102 to include multiple glide path lengths and angles. Particular emphasis was placed on examples which are representative of short-haul operations. Analysis was performed to indicate the sensitivity of the model to the glide path parameters, approach control system precision, separation standards, and approach speed mixes. A combination of altitude separation on the glide path is considered as a means of increasing capacity. (Author)
