  • E. Runway Length Analysis
    JOSLIN FIELD, MAGIC VALLEY REGIONAL AIRPORT DECEMBER 2012 E. Runway Length Analysis This appendix describes the runway length analysis conducted for the Airport. Runway 7-25, the Airport’s primary runway, has a length of 8,700 feet and the existing crosswind runway (Runway 12-30) has a length of 3,207 feet. A runway length analysis was conducted to determine if additional runway length is required to meet the needs of aircraft forecasted to operate at the Airport through the planning period. The analysis was conducted according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidance contained in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5325-4B, Runway Length Requirements for Airport Design. The runway length analysis set forth in AC 150/5325-4B relates to both arrivals and departures, although departures typically require more runway length. Runway length requirements were determined separately for Runway 7-25 and Runway 12-30. E.1 Primary Runway Length Requirements According to AC 150/5325-4B, the design objective for the primary runway is to provide a runway length for all aircraft without causing operational weight restrictions. The methodology used to determine required runway lengths is based on the MTOW of the aircraft types to be evaluated, which are grouped into the following categories: Small aircraft (MTOW of 12,500 pounds or less) – Aircraft in this category range in size from ultralight aircraft to small turboprop aircraft. Within this category, aircraft are broken out by approach speeds (less than 30 knots, at least 30 knots but less than 50 knots, and more than 50 knots). Aircraft with approach speeds of more than 50 knots are further broken out by passenger seat capacity (less than 10 passenger seats and 10 or more passenger seats).

(3) That list aims to reduce the administrative burden on aircraft operators by providing information on which Member State will be regulating a particular aircraft operator. (4) The inclusion of an aircraft operator in the Union’s emissions trading scheme is dependent upon the performance of an aviation activity listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC and is not dependent on the inclusion in the list of aircraft operators established by the Commission on the basis of Article 18a(3) of that Directive.

  • 1 Introduction
    1 - 1 1 Introduction 1.1 Requirements, Parameters, Constraints and Objectives The task of aircraft design in the practical sense is to supply the "geometrical description of a new flight vehicle". To do this, the new aircraft is described by a three-view drawing, a fuselage cross-section, a cabin layout and a list of aircraft parameters. The parameters of aircraft design can be subdivided into requirements and design parameters (Table 1.1). Table 1.1 Parameter grouped into "requirements" and "design parameter" requirements; also called design parameters; also called known parameters unknown parameters independent parameters dependent parameters given parameters free parameters The design of an aircraft is based on requirements which have to be met by the aircraft being designed. These requirements are determined by the planned use. The list of requirements is also called a performance or contract specification. Many requirements arise from the flight mission. The mission specification is produced from market surveys and contact with potential customers. The design engineer cannot rely on market researchers placing finished specifications on her1 desk. Therefore, it is crucial that the design department offers economically attractive designs. These initial designs and trade-off studies then serve as a basis for discussions with market researchers and customers (Fig. 1.1). The following requirements, at least, should be met when aircraft design begins: • Cruise performance: • Payload mPL , • Range R , • Mach number MCR Note: The cruise Mach number MCR is not actually a requirement, but rather arises from the economic optimization of the aircraft. In order to start iteration of the design parameters, the cruise Mach number is, however, treated as a requirement to begin with.

The increase in regional jet usage represents a significant change from traditional air traffic patterns. To investigate the possible impacts of this change on the air traffic management and control systems, this study analyzed the emerging flight patterns and performance of regional jets compared to traditional jets and turboprops. This study used ASDI data, which consists of actual flight track data, to analyze flights between January 1998 and January 2003.

  • 4. Facility Requirements
    JOSLIN FIELD, MAGIC VALLEY REGIONAL AIRPORT DECEMBER 2012 4. Facility Requirements This section identifies the airside and landside facility requirements for the Airport through the planning period (2029). Facility requirements for the Airport are based on several factors, including the relationship between demand and capacity for various Airport systems/facilities, deficiencies identified through comparison of existing conditions to applicable planning/design standards, and functional/operational deficiencies identified through discussions with Airport management, tenants, and users. The methodologies used and described in this section to determine facility requirements and capacity for various Airport systems generally follow industry standards, with adjustments made, as appropriate, to reflect actual use characteristics at the Airport. The determination of facility requirements for the Airport uses information presented in Sections 2 and 3, along with any additional information that more accurately reflects existing or future conditions at the Airport. The remainder of this section is organized by functional Airport systems, which are identified and summarized as follows: Airfield facilities – The runway and taxiway system, lighting, markings, navigational aids, and related safety and protection areas. The ability of the airfield system to serve forecast demand is evaluated in terms of runway capacity and design standards. Passenger terminal facilities – The terminal building, where enplaning and deplaning passenger demand defines the need for various areas such as ticketing, baggage claim, security screening, and holdrooms, among other building spaces. Requirements for the terminal curb and aircraft parking apron are also assessed. Tenant facilities – General aviation facilities accommodate privately owned and corporate-owned based and itinerant aircraft. Facility requirements evaluated include aircraft aprons/tie-downs and storage hangars.

Commonly, the MEL mirrors the Master MEL (MMEL), which is developed by the manufacturer and approved by the regulator. However, the increasing complexity of aircraft systems and the diversity of operational requirements, environmental conditions, fleet configuration, etc. necessitates a tailored approach to developing the MEL. While it is the responsibility of every aircraft operator to ensure the airworthiness of their aircraft, regulators are also required to publish guidelines to help operators develop their MELs. Currently, there is no approved standard to develop a MEL, and this poses a challenge to both aviation regulators and aircraft operators. This paper reviews current MEL literature, standards and processes as well as MEL related accidents/incidents to offer an overview of the present state of the MEL development and use and reinstate the need for a systematic approach. Furthermore, this paper exposes the paucity of MEL related literature and the ambiguity in MEL regulations.
