Question
a Explain the relationships between landside passengers accommodated daily, types of passengers (local origin or transfers), used seats/plane and total operations (both arrivals & departures).
b What parameters govern the required runway length? What's a MATOW?
c An airport has two long parallel runways., with 1000' separation between them. What is the logical way to manage takeoffs and landings under VFR. Say its bad weather, and IFR applies. What happens to the operation method and the capacity?
Explanation / Answer
a )Explain the relationships between landside passengers accommodated daily, types of passengers (local origin or transfers), used seats/plane and total operations (both arrivals & departures).
Each airport has a specific infrastructure ie operated in a specific environment in terms of economic, geographic and demographic conditions, it is not possible to define a general approach that could be used for assessing the landside capacity at any airport, landside enables airport operators and airport designers to identify passenger and baggage flows etc, Flights provide the interface between gates and passenger facilities, they include gate lounge and service counters, sidewalks, business lounges, mobile lounge, gym, waiting area, Gate arrival concept is centralized layout aimed at reducing the overall size of terminal areas, unit terminals expanded outward in a linear manner, goal of maintaining short distances between the vehicle curb and parking.
)What parameters govern the required runway length? What's a MATOW?
Runways are rectangle shaped surface designed in the airport used for flight take off and landings, they are man made up of concrete mixture or gas or salt etc. The runway length varies from small to large ie from 8m to 80 m wide and 800 ft to 1800 ft long based on the size of the airport. The basic runway patterns are a) parallel runway b) simple c)intersecting d)non-intersecting runways. Runways are generally numbered between 1 to 36 ex: 36 to the north means 360 degrees ie while taking off or landing plane heading 360 degrees (north). If they are more than 1 parallel runways they are represented by L (left ), R (Right, C(Center). The runway length generally calculated under different conditions they are;
1.air craft is fully loaded
2.aircraft is at sea level above 8000.
3.No wind is blowing on the way to the destination...
4.The runway is leveled with zero effective gradients.
The factors affecting runway length are ;
1.MATOW (MAximum allowed take of weight). which the pilot is allowed to attempt to take off, due to limits.MTOW of an aircraft is fixed and does not vary with altitude, air temperature or the length of the runway. Factors which affects MTOW takeoff are a length of the runway, conditions of the runway, air temperature, runway wind etc, The maximum weight at which a takeoff may be attempted, taking into account the above factors is MTOW.
2. Airport Elevation
3. Temperature
4. Runway surface condition.

c) An airport has two long parallel runways., with 1000' separation between them. What is the logical way to manage takeoffs and landings under VFR? Say its bad weather, and IFR applies. What happens to the operation method and the capacity?
An airport has two long parallel runways., with 1000' separation between them can have some set of rules but if they are very close to each other and the weather condition is not good then 1 runway has to be temporarily stopped.
They are rules and regulations in which a pilot operates in different weather conditions clear enough to see whether the aircraft is moving. The pilot must be able to operate the aircraft with visual reference to the ground, and by visually avoiding obstructions, they are some requirements for such aircrafts minimum visibility, and distance from clouds, to ensure safety. IN VFR a pilot is able to see the cockpit, control altitude. VFR aircraft required to have a transponder to help Air Traffic Control identify the aircraft on the radar in order ATC can provide separation to IFR aircraft. If any aircraft doesn't me the VMC condition then it operates in ITC, generally, ATC operations will routinely IFR clearances for aircraft operating VFR, but that are arriving at an airport that does not meet VMC. Airports routinely grant temporary IFR clearance when a low coastal overcast forces instrument approaches. weather conditions are referred as "1000 and 3 Rule,u cannot fly under 1000AGl and visibility less than 3SM, IFR aircraft could be flying instrument approach procedures, and you wouldn't have the ability to see-and-avoid them as they break out to land.
