Study Notes
Airport Operations
- Approximately 80-90% of seats are occupied by paying passengers.
- Aircraft ground servicing times at Hub/Connecting airports average 30-60 minutes.
Airport Terminal Types
- Terminal structures consisting of a square or rectangular building, with a vehicle parking lot on one side and airside operations on the other are called Linear Terminals.
- Pier-shaped terminals feature long buildings with aircraft parked perpendicularly along the airside face of the central terminal processor.
- Satelllite Terminals feature concourses physically separated from the main terminal building.
Airport Infrastructure
- Remote areas on the airfield, usually on the reinforced pavement where aircraft park, are called Hardstands.
- Hangars should be located on the airport perimeter so the hangar doors can face the apron and the other side of the building can accommodate public parking and facility access.
- Centralized hangars are usually enormous box hangars, accommodating the various sizes of aircraft in the airline's fleet.
Accessibility and Environment
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures that buildings, facilities, and vehicles covered by the law are accessible to individuals with disabilities in terms of architecture, design, transportation, and communication, applying to private and public employers with 15 or more employees.
- Check-in can take place at a kiosk or through a Smartphone, leaving less work to be done at the airport, thanks to Self-Service Technology.
- Airport air quality and provides air quality credits for future airport development through the Voluntary Airport Low Emissions (VALE) program.
Environmental Impact
- Normally categorically excluded actions may have a significant impact which may require further analysis in an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
- The measure of the condition of the air expressed in terms of ambient pollutant concentrations is an impact category.
- The two types of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits are General Permits and Individual Permits.
- Stormwater discharge often represents the most prolific source of water pollution at airports.
- The Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan identifies the points of contact in the event of a spill, describes the facility layout and locations of fuel storage facilities, oil, lubricant, and other liquid storage tanks, stormwater, sanitary sewer drainage, wastewater treatment, and oil-water separators.
Waste Management
- Hazardous waste contains high concentrations of heavy metals or specific pesticides.
- The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) established a toxic waste cleanup fund to clean up hazardous waste sites when a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) cannot be identified.
Airport Statistics
- Short-term parking typically may account for 30-40% of the individual parking.
- At Origin and Destination airports, 70-80% of passengers begin or end their travel at the airport.
- Typically, airports with more than 40% of passengers connecting to other flights are considered Hub/Connecting airports.
- At any given time, it is estimated that approximately 10-15% of the airport passenger population has a special or functional need.
- Construction and demolition waste from airports and other non-airport related construction activity constitutes approximately 20-30% of the total solid waste stream in the United States.
- More than 35% of all U.S. airports are presently located in nonattainment areas.
- Airports are responsible for up to 5% of total emissions in some areas.
- The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that aviation accounts for approximately 2% of GHG emissions.
- The 100-year flood is a flood having a 1% chance of occurring in any given year.
- Only 2.5% of the Earth's water is available for human use.
- Regulations apply to tanks containing petroleum or hazardous chemicals and have at least 10,000 gallons of the tank volume underground.
