Analysis of Runway Occupancy Time and Separation Data Collected at La Guardia, Boston, and Newark Airports

Abstract

This document analyzes arrival runway occupancy times, separation, and interarrival time data collected in July 1984 at New York La Guardia and Boston Logan Airports. Runaway occupancy time data collected in December 1983 at Newark airport is also included in the study. The data collection effort was undertaken by FAA's Terminal Procedures Branch, to obtain baseline reference data at a busy airport operating a single arrival stream under the current separation standards. In addition to the summary data, means, standard deviations, and the number of observations are included for statistics on the three types of data collected. These are broken down by aircraft type (Small, Large, and Heavy), by runway at each airport, and, for La Guardia, by weather condition (VMC and IMC). Also, a comparison is made of runway occupancy times in wet- versus dry-runway conditions. Additional keywords: data reduction; weather; tables(data); instrument flight rules.
