Module 2 Post Questions Flashcards
The baseline measurement for determining terminal design
Average day peak month
Multiple airlines located in separate terminal buildings is called this concept
Unit terminal DFW, LAX, JFK
Runway capacity during IFR operations
42-53 per hour
Capacity management which is defined as the rate aircraft can go into or out of the airport without regard for delay
Throughput capacity
On a heliport, this is the load bearing capacity area centered on the final approach and takeoff area.
touchdown and lift off (TLOF)
An airport project that has no potential for environmental impact
Unconditional approval
This type of condition exists when a normally excluded action may cause significant environmental impact
Extraordinary circumstances
The result of an environmental assessment that may need to take no further action
FONSI
A business management practice that serves as a strategic plan for addressing environments matters.
EMS environmental management system
This is a strategy for reducing the carbon footprint of an airport
Sustainability or sustainable design
Sustainable development (go green):
A management strategy
A proactive approach to environmental management
A management philosophy
Can help reduce the airport’s environmental footprint.
Being on a list of violating facilities means the airport is ineligible of receive
Federal funds
A small generator generates more than 100 kg of hazardous waste but less than this amount
1000 kg
The superfund reauthorization act requires airports to develop these types of plans to address fuel spills
Emergency response plan
This type of capacity measurement is always less than throughput capacity
Practical capacity..or PHOCAP
Throughput-rate aircraft operate without read for delay
PHOCAP-total combined capacity measure of the runway, taxiway, and gate access.
PANCAP-practical annual capacity-level of operation that results in not more than 4 minutes average delay per aircraft in a normal peak two hour period.
This is used by air traffic control to calculate the desired arrival between successive arrival aircraft
Aircraft acceptance rate
AAR-used by ATC, agreed upon number of aircraft that can land at a given airport in a one-hour period.
Delays will increase exponentially beyond 4-6 minutes of delay. 9+ minutes=severely congested.
When performing a capacity analysis, these areas are included: airspace, airfield, terminal, and
Landslide
Cost bearing fee is this type of pricing
Differential pricing ( single aircraft versus twins, etc.)
FAA part 36 addresses noise coming from this source
Aircraft engines
The Aircraft Noise Capacity Act of 1990 placed a limit on these types of engines
stage 2 (being phased out)
The standard airport noise prediction mode
INM-integrated noise model
Intermodal in this factor are critical to developing an effective metropolitan system plan
Public Input
This type of planning includes airports within a region
Metropolitan Planning MASP (Metropolitan Airport System Planning)
This plan is the long-term strategy of for the development of airport facilities
Master plan
phase 1 of the master plan update focuses on this process
Consultant selection
Governed by the Brooks At which requires the selection to be based on qualifications, and award to be made according to a fair and open selection process.
