Abstract

This paper is concerned with the determination of capacity of a single runway STOL port. An automated air traffic control procedure for landing and take-off is proposed which takes into consideration the delays of the aircraft to control commands, the variations of the approach speeds due to wind velocities, etc. Capacity of a single runway STOL port using the proposed procedure is determined, using digital simulations and queuing theory. The effect of various factors, such as length of common path, time and distance separation rules, the variations of the related quantities, etc. on the capacity is discussed.
