APPLICATION AND VALIDATION OF A MODEL FOR PREDICTING AIRCRAFT AND AIRPORT COMPATIBILITY

Aircraft/airport interface problems can be predicted in initial design stages. A methodology has been developed to analyze and predict protential and known effects of aircraft or airport design. Center to the methodology is a generalized prediction model. In this investigation, the model was applied to a specific dramatic situation. A questionnaire was devised and used to ascertain how well historic information when applied to the model agreed to known impacts identified by the questionaire. The results are that the overall analysis methodology and the prediction model are effective in reproducing "potential" problems in compatibility of an historic case. The high correlation of the validation should substantiate the workability and capability of the prediction model to analyze problems in compatibility in an efficient and meaninful way.
