Airport Planning is a 3-day short course designed to fill the need of airport staff and consultants to address the planning issues specific to airports. The course has been revised to add simulation and modelling of both the airside and landside of airports. A separate course, Airport Engineering & Management, has been developed to provide more emphasis on the detailed analysis of airport operations. Comments from previous attendees have indicated that this was the best airport planning course they had attended. This course addresses the design, engineering, planning, and policy issues related to airport development. Case studies of Austin-Bergstrom, Dallas/Ft Worth, New York, and Denver airports are used.
Day 1
Emerging Issues in Airport Planning - Overview of how new aircraft will effect the airports in the future; relationships between airport authority, airlines, and passengers; air cargo operations, security and the business operation of the airport. FAA/ICAO Planning Process - Elements of Airport Master Plans, issues to be considered in master planning, Analysis procedures and techniques; airport layout plan and master plan documentation. Airport Planning Case Studies - Studies of the Airport master planning of several airports including Austin Berstrom International Airport are presented and discussed in a workshop format. Aviation Demand Forecasting - Capacity and level of service evaluation; tools and techniques for airport facility design and operations management; IATA design measures.
Day 2
Landside Facility Planning - Airport Facilities and their Functional Roles; airport terminal design concepts; planning considerations and design factors for terminal facilities; planning design procedures; concept of terminal modeling, level of service concept of terminal capacity. Airport Facility Design Example -Lessons learned from Landside Facility Planning at New York, LaGuardia Airport. Airside Facility Planning and National Airspace System - Airport airside facilities and their function; Aircraft/Airport Compatibility, Airport reference code; navigation aids of the present and future; Geometric design standards. Environmental Planning - Categories of environmental analysis; the environmental regulation process; EIS and Record of Decision; land use and noise compatibility issues, air quality impacts; sustainable airport design.
Day 3
Airside Simulation - Using SIMMOD to simulate delay in the airside operations of airports. When to use simulation and when to use other analysis techniques. Case studies of several example simulations. Types of airside models available. Terminal Facility Simulation - Using SIMMOD to evaluate the terminal facilities; Sizing baggage and gate holding areas; Curbside congestion; Other terminal models available; Case studies of SIMMOD simulations. Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for Airport Planning and Analysis - Using GIS for environmental Analysis; survey of the extent of GIS use at US airports; growth of GIS use for airport planning and management, AAAE Airport GIS Committee. Case Studies of New Airports - Lessons learned and trends form recently constructed airports around the world including: Hong Kong, Denver, Kansai, Inchon, Kula Lumpar, and others.
