PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF COMMERCIAL STOL OPERATIONS

Measurements of STOL traffic diverted from other modes has allowed the construction of a simple forecasting model to predict STOL penetration in new markets. The model is applied to two networks, one centered on Chicago's Meigs Field and the other on the Toronto Island Airport, using the de Havilland Dash 7 STOL aircraft. Over 2 million passengers would be diverted from the conventional airline service in the year 1980.
