Description
Summary:Traffic organization in the airport area is one of the most difficult tasks for air traffic management services. This is due to the large number of aircraft performing complicated maneuvers in limited airspace. One of the key processes occurring in this area is the scheduling of landing aircraft. The aim of this study is to present the concept of implementation of a system for the evaluation of this process. The assessment method is based on determining the number of viable landings per unit time at a given aircraft schedule. On the basis of real air traffic measurements real landing aircraft schedules were analyzed. This shows that algorithms used by air traffic controllers in practice allow for a much smaller number of landings per unit of time than would result from the regulations. This indicates the existence of a large capacity to implement controller support systems in the process of aircraft landing scheduling.
