What is one solution to capacity and delay?
Increase capacity by providing additional facilities
Improve operational efficiency
Shift demand to off-peak times (peak spreading)
the rate at which aircraft can be handled without regard to delay
Throughput
when the cost of improving capacity is high with a low return
acceptable delay
This approach to forecasting forecasts aviation demand for an airport using data for a specific geographic area
Bottom-up

This is defined as the 90th to 95th percentile busiest hour of the year
peak design hour
TAF stands for...?
Terminal Area Forecast
This forecasting methodology compares local forecasts to regional or national forecast data. Think of me like a piece of pizza
Market share analysis
an estimate of an airport’s annual capacity -theoretical number of operations that can be accommodated in one year
Annual Service Volume (ASV)
Beetlejuice
for long range ASV planning we assume the airport has at least one runway equipped with a what?
ILS
an airport may become eligible for funds for projects to increase capacity once the airport has reached what percent of its current capacity
60%
determines the strength of the relationship between the dependent and independent variables
Coefficient of Correlation (r) or Pearson's Correlation
The FAA considers a forecast to be consistent with the TAF if it falls within what percentages of the TAF?
__% after ___ years; & ___% after ___ years
10% of the TAF after 5 years and within 15% after 10 years.

The Sixth Sense
List 3 details the FAAs TFMSC includes
Aircraft Model, time, date, weight class, ARC, flight type, user class (commercial, air taxi, GA)
2 factors that affect aviation demand are
Fuel prices
Economic characteristics
Demographic characteristics
Geographic attributes
Political
Aviation related
What are two factors that affect airport capacity?
1.Airfield characteristics
2.Aircraft mix
3.Runway configuration and use
4.Meteorological conditions
5.Percentage of touch and go operations
6.Taxiway system
7.Percentage of arrivals and departures
8.Airspace
The value being estimated or forecast in a regression analysis is the
Dependent variable
And why is the carpet all wet Todd?

Give 2 examples of types of delay
Weather
Terminal Volume
ARTCC Volume (en-route)
Runway or taxiway closures
NAS equipment problems
What is the formula for the Aircraft Mix Index
(%C + 3*%D)
(Previous Year × Trend Growth Rate) + Previous Year =Forecast Value
What type of forecast is this?
Trend Analysis
The most accurate way to estimate airport operations at a non-towered airport is to:
Sample traffic for two weeks during each season and extrapolate into an annual estimate
