Description

This course provides an analysis of the key elements of airport and airspace capacity. Current techniques for measuring airport and airspace capacity will be examined, including the relationship between delay and capacity, as well as aircraft operating characteristics and airline scheduling practices. The impact of airport development on airspace capacity, including projects such as locating new airports and building new runways at existing airports, will also be explored. The role of federal, state and local agencies and the private sector will be analyzed in terms of airport/airspace capacity. Computer simulation modeling, such as FAA's SIMMOD, will be used in analyzing case studies in airspace and airport capacity and delay. Lab included.
