Airport Planning and Design

Determine the ASV, demand/ASV ratio, and average delay for current for the airport you selected in Activity 5.3.
You must first determine some information about your airport.
1. What is the current demand (operations on an annual basis)?
2. What is the airport configuration?
Solution for solving 1 and 2 above:
Step 1: Determine current demand.
Step 2: Evaluate the available data and determine ASV and average annual delay for both current operations.
Step 3: Prepare a 2 page report explaining the process. Include background information about the airport and runway layout, what the ASV and average annual delay is, and the methodology you used in making the evaluation.
In preparing this report, assume you are a planner working for the airport?s consulting firm and the airport manager asked for this information. Write the report in the form of a memorandum from you to the manager, using any format with which you?re comfortable. Use headings and subheadings formatted in accordance with current APA guidelines. Cite the sources of all content not originated by you and be sure your citations and references also comply with APA standards. Then submit it as a file attachment through the Activity link above.
Reminder: Use the appropriate file naming protocol as stated in previous assignments.
