26
Q

differentiate long and short haul in terms of scheduling

A

SH - maximize the usefulness of day (7-9am & 430-630pm)

LH - focus on convenient arrival time

27
Q

How are utilization and load factors relevant to scheduling?

A

high utilization is desirable but it must come with high load factor to make breakeven in costs

28
Q

How is reliability relevant to scheduling?

A

Utilization constraints punctuality so airline consider if utilization won’t affect their on-time performance

29
Q

How are terminal constraints relevant to scheduling?

A

Some airports limit passenger movements on peak periods to minimize congestion so ayun. kapoy explain

30
Q

How is crew availability relevant to scheduling?

A

crew have minimum rest periods so fresh crews must be available for the next flight to replace those who needs to rest

31
Q

Enumerate and define Boeing’s maintenance steering Group 3 checks for aircrafts

A

A Check - Light M, Night, 500-800hrs, Apron

B Check - Light M, 3 to 5 months, Night, Apron

C Check - Heavy M, 15-21 months, Hangar

D Check - Heavy Maintenance Visit, 4-6yrs

32
Q

Is imposing tariffs on peak hours effective in spreading demand?

A

Yes. Chariz

Noooo. Kase airlines would rather accept tariffs just to exploit the massive passenger volume during peak flow to improve load factors tapos earn wawarts. Alam mo na

33
Q

Katulog na oy

A

hehehehe

34
Q

What do you call the general policy IATA released for scheduling?

A

Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines

35
Q

What do airports consider in their viewpoint of scheduling?

A

Air Travelers and their wants of uncongested conditions

Airlines who demand frequency and reliability

Nontravelers who set limits for environmental concerns

36
Q

Describe the peaks of HUBS

A

High opkors

37
Q

What is the ultimate linkage between airport and aircraft performance?

A

38
Q

DIfferentiate methodologies of airport and aircraft crews in their operations (Chap 4)

A

39
Q

Describe an aircraft

accelerate-stop distance required

52
Q

measured from the threshold on the runway in use and distance to the touchdown point and landing run

A

landing distance required

53
Q

Aircraft Performance Requirements

A

takeoff run required
takeoff distance required
accelerate-stop distance required
landing distance required

54
Q

How does aircraft design affect landing performance?

A

variation in factors such as mass and break system; affecting landing distance required for runways

55
Q

provides areas beyond the runway to accommodate undershoot and overshoot. This is also one way of maintaining safety

A

Runway Safety Areas

56
Q

This refers to the pilot’s angle-of-view cutoff and their intrinsic visual reference needs

A

Runway visual range

57
Q

What are the considerations of airports to declare runways as suitable for automatic landing?

A

obstacle clearance

glide path guides

terrain on approach

runway measurements

integrity of instrument landing system

integrity of visual aids

level of ATC equipemnts and Meteorological monitoring

Q

Involve maintaining near-idle-thrust descent to minimize maneuvering time at low altitudes

A

Continuous Descent Approach

59
Q

Enumerate Inclement Weather

A

Sluch, Ice, Snow, Standing water, Wind shear, aquaplaning

60
Q

occurs when standing water reduces tire friction, leading to potential loss of control

A

aquaplaning

61
Q

poses hazard by rapid changes in wind direction and airspeed

A

wind shear

62
Q

How does inclement weather affect aircraft performance?

A

has additional impacts on breaking and acceleration, increasing the emergency distance required for runways

63
Q

Unsay implication sa A380 sa airports?

A
