  1. Simple Linear (Rectangle)
  2. Finger Piers
  3. Satellite w/ and w/o finger piers (Rectangle and a Circle)
  4. Linear Midfield

17
Q

What are 3 major components of airport TRAFFIC?

A
  1. Originating/terminating passengers
  2. Employees
  3. Supply/Delivery and other Commercial Vehicles
18
Q

What are 4 types of facilities (in terms of use)?

A
  1. Exclusive Use
  2. Common Use
  3. Preferential Use
  4. Mixed Use
19
Q

True of False: Airport Master Plans are required by the FAA

A

FALSE! The FAA requires a LAYOUT plan

20
Q

What is the purpose of an Aviation Activity Forecast? What area does it survey?

A
  • Forecast future levels of aviation activity to help with decision making in airport planning
  • Survey the “Catchment” area along with all aviation related factors
21
Q

In CAUSAL forecasting, what are 4 Independent variables that are measured?

A
  1. Cost
  2. Schedule
  3. Population
  4. Activities

Ex: number pax. = cost (.67) + schedule (.54) + population (.32) + activities (.15)

means COST will determine number of pax.

22
Q

True or False: Airports must comply with Local, State and Federal environmental regulations!

23
Q

What does the FAA stress in regards to the environment?

A

FAA stresses an Environmental Management System (EMS)!!!

24
Q

What does the “Compatible Land Use” process do for airports?

A
  • Ensures that factories, warehouses, storage yards, farmland etc. are developed around the airport because NOISE is no factor to them
25
Are airport LAYOUT plans required by the FAA?
YES!
26
STATE Aviation System Plans
- Coordinated air transportation system on a wide level - Maximize return on investment of public funds - Identify capital improvements
27
METROPOLITAN Aviation System Plans
- Developed for airports located in close proximity (capacity, airspace, ground access, destinations served)
28
What purpose do mobile transporters serve on airports?
- Move people between buildings and aircraft
29
What does Market Share Forecasting help determine?
- Projects future numbers, characteristics and trend in the Target Market
30
What is Simulation Forecasting?
- Process of creating a model of a system to identify factors which CONTROL the system
