Abstract
This article demonstrated how to calculate an airport landing movement in systematic five main stages encompassing; (i) data collection (including passengers data, aircraft movements, population, GDP, per capita income, cargos movement, temperatures, ground elevation, slope surface, wind speed, and aircraft characteristics), (ii) forecasting the future traffic demands, (iii) calculating aerodrome reference field length (ARFL), (iv) define aerodrome reference code (ARF), and (v) calculate runway dimensions, taxiways, and apron areas. This article has selected Hang Nadim International Airport (HIA) as a case study. It was identified that the aircraft movements in this airport have increased by an average of 7.30% every year in the periods of 2007 to 2016. This Airport has an existing apron with a capacity of 13 aircraft, while the apron currently has to accommodate 19 aircraft. Therefore, to anticipate future demand. This research evaluated and forecasted the requirements standard for the airport landing movement areas in 2026. Based on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 2013 manuals and KM 44, 2002 regulation concerning the National Airport Regulation. This article recommended that the existing runway and taxiways would be adequate to facilitate future aircraft movements up to 2026. However, the apron requires to be expanded to 1,600 m x 150 m (which a capacity of 31 aircraft) for accommodating the apron requirements standard in 2026.
Highlights
It was acknowledged that the constant growth in the air traffic movements in the airport in Indonesia over the past decade has increased the requirement for the development of the airport facilities and infrastructures [1]
It was forecasted that in 2026 there would be more than 9.48 million passengers utilized this airport, with 73 thousand aircrafts movement, 56 tons of cargo, and 31 aircraft will park in apron per hour
There would be necessary to calculate the future requirement of runway, taxiways, and apron to meet the increase of the traffic demand within this airport
Summary
It was acknowledged that the constant growth in the air traffic movements in the airport in Indonesia over the past decade has increased the requirement for the development of the airport facilities and infrastructures [1]. The capacity of an airport depends on the capacities of its landside and airside components in accommodating passenger movements, cargo and aircraft takeoff, and airport landing movements [3]. An airport configuration may encompass various landing movement facilities such as runway, taxiway, and apron [5]. A runway is a rectangular area on the airport surface that is prepared to accommodate the takeoff and landing of aircraft. Taxiways are defined paths on the airfield surface which are established for the taxiing of aircraft. The apron is defined as an area for facilitating the aircraft to park, to check its instrument and engine prior to takeoff [5, 6, 7]
