PARALLEL RUNWAY SPACING

IN CONNECTION WITH CONTINUOUSLY INCREASING AIR TRAFFIC, IT IS NECESSARY TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF THE AIRPORT BY INDEPENDENTLY OPERATED RUNWAYS. ASPECTS OF MINIMUM RUNWAY SPACING COMPATIBLE WITH PREVAILING SAFETY STANDARDS ARE INVESTIGATED. A SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS IS CONDUCTED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE SYSTEM PARAMETERS THAT HAVE THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON THE RUNWAY SPACING. THE MOST CRITICAL PARAMETER IS THE TOTAL COMMAND DELAY TIME. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT PARAMETER IS THE BANK ANGLE. THE PENETRATION PROBABILITY, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS LITTLE INFLUENCE ON THE INTERVENTION ZONE WIDTH. IT IS FOUND THAT AN INCREASE IN THE DATA ACQUISITION RATE IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN ASPECTS OF ACCURACY. /IAA/
