Study Notes

Forecasting Techniques

Multiple Regression Analysis: a statistical technique tying aviation demand to enplanements, population, and income levels.
Trend Analysis and Extrapolation: a method that uses historical data to forecast future trends.

Market Analysis

Market Share Analysis: a technique used in the aviation industry to analyze the market share of airlines.

Airport Operations

Annual Service Volume: determined by aircraft mix, and the number of hourly and annual flight operations.
Peak Hour Demand: based on the evaluation of the maximum number of passengers during a specific hour.
Capital Improvement Program: ensures that adequate fiscal, staff, scheduling, and other resources are available for planned capital projects.
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Costs: represent the costs to the airport operator as capital projects are constructed.

Airport Infrastructure

Airfield Pavement: includes runways, taxiways, and other areas used for taxiing, takeoff, and landing of aircraft.
Apron Areas: typically include loading ramps, aircraft parking aprons, and unpaved areas.
Aircraft Operating Areas: include all portions of the airport designed and used for landing, taking off, or surface maneuvering of aircraft.

Aircraft Characteristics

Design Aircraft: typically the largest air carrier aircraft or the largest transient aircraft using the airport more than 500 times per year.
Aircraft Approach Category: takes into account the approach category (speed) and airplane design group (wingspan or tail height), and whether the runway has an instrument approach.

Runway Design

Runway Length: determined by factors such as approach category and airplane design group.
Runway Safety Areas: have a full-width range of 300-400 feet.
Taxiway Safety Areas: have a full-width range of 150-200 feet.
Runway Protection Zone: a trapezoidal-shaped area located off the runway ends that enhances protection of people and property on the ground, varies in length from 600-1,000 feet.
Obstacle-Free Zone: extends 1,000 feet beyond the runway.
Runway Grade: typically 1.5% to ensure water runoff.

Air Traffic Management

Movement Area: the area used for aircraft to move from one point on an airport to another.
Ramp Access: the portion of a ramp used for access between taxiways and aircraft parking positions.
Gate Holding: a concept where a pilot should be presented with no more than three choices at an intersection — ideally, left, right, and straight ahead.

Aircraft Handling

Self-Handling: the process where the aircraft arrives and departs the gate under its own power.
Power-In, Power-Out (PIPO): the process when an aircraft uses its own power to park, then, when ready to depart, is pushed back by until the aircraft has adequate maneuvering room and won't impact the terminal building with jet blast.

Aircraft and Airport Characteristics

Critical characteristics of hangars include capacity, layout, efficiency, flexibility, safety, and hangar locations.
Large airplanes are certificated for maximum takeoff weights of over 150,000 pounds.
