AB - This document presents the results of an analysis of the features of the Upgraded Third Generation ATC System in a program of evaluation of the impact of the implementation of Area Navigation on the other features of the UG3RD System. This analysis includes evaluations of the impact of RNAV on the performance and costs of these UG3RD features and, in turn, their impact on the performance, costs and benefits attendant to the implementation of RNAV. As a part of this study of UG3RD System has been examined from the systems integration point of view. One result of the study is the establishment of the effects which RNAV could have on UG3RD feature implementation schedule tradeoffs and interactions. These judgements were based upon a study of the problems of the existing ATC system, and the capabilities of each UG3RD feature, including RNAV, for solving each of these problems. Overall RNAV implementation costs and benefits (airline, general aviation, ATC system and airline passenger) are projected annually to the year 2000. These annual figures have been discounted to present value totals (1976), according to guidelines issued by the Office of Management and Budget, and the resulting benefit/cost ratios of RNAV are presented herein.

A SURVEY PY - 1976/12 SP - 230 p. AB - This is an overview report on the status and efficacy of the Federal Aviation Administration's air carrier cabin safety program. Up-to-date information on recurring cabin safety issues and problems was solicited from airplane manufacturers, air carriers, flight and cabin crews, associated organizations and others. The National Transportation Safety Board provided pertinent accident data and safety recommendations developed from aircraft accident investigation. The survey identifies significant recurring cabin safety operational problems including flight attendant training and protection, flammability of cabin interiors, toxicity and smoke generation during post-crash fires, emergency evacuation, survivability. Seventeen recommendations are presented for instituting actions by the FAA's Flight Standards Service, Office of Aviation Medicine and Office of Aviation Safety to resolve recurring cabin safety problems and for continuing long-term improvement of cabin safety.

AB - The second of two test and evaluations was performed at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC), Atlantic City, New Jersey, to determine the feasibility of a ground-based monitoring system to accurately measure the flight-path of selected aircraft on the final approach path. This tracking information would provide a data base for statistical analysis of the instrument landing system (ILS) glide slope performance. This subsystem was tested by comparison of its measured glide slope angle with the glide slope angle generated by the NAFEC phototheodolite tracking system (time referenced). The data analysis indicates this glide slope monitor feasibility model was not adequate to perform as an ILS performance assurance monitor. The older test and evaluation is reported in FAA-RD-74-66, dated April 1974.

AB - The relationship between the perceived level, PLdB, of sound (loudness or noisiness) is shown to be a function of the sound pressure squared and the sound frequency squared. A logarithmic formula employing this basic relationship between perceived level and pressure and frequency has been developed and is found to be as accurate as the more complex methods currently in use. The results are found to be more accurate than the complex methods currently in use for the useful range of sound pressure levels and frequencies found to be associated with operational aircraft including helicopters, turbofan, turboprop and turbojet powered aircraft. This work, therefore, provides the systems engineer an easily understood and useful design and evaluation method. The formula developed clearly shows the design engineer and management personnel the relationship between the physical characteristics of an evolving system and its potential impact on human and community response.

AB - The major position and separation errors associated with the digital data provided to the radar controller by the Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS III) are quantitatively assessed to provide the basis for specifying the air traffic control separation minima in ARTS-controlled airspace. The National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center provides a Terminal Automation Test Facility at the Atlantic City Airport with a full complement of technical support facilities and engineering staff; here, an extensive series of live and simulated flight tests were conducted. The methodology, results, and conclusions of this effort are discussed. The results indicate that 99.9 percent of the overall range and azimuth errors can be expected to fall within + or - 0.16 nmi and + or - 1.43 deg, respectively, about their mean errors with a confidence of 90 percent. These errors are less than those generated in trying to read position from the radar displays. The ARTS III Radar Beacon Tracking Level system reported on herein utilized existing prototype hardware and software as available in early 1974. Many of the capabilities described in this report have since been enhanced by a continuing development program. The reader is encouraged to inquire into the availability of any later reports pertinent to this system.

The results of these tests indicated that a tightly sealed partition and/or curtain afforded the greatest protection from the spread of a given amount of heat, smoke, CO, depletion of oxygen. The results also indicated that the use of compartmentation can adversely affect the intensity of a fire in an unclosed area, creating more products of combustion. Except for a limited number of cases, the amount of protection provided by the partition exceeded the increase in fire intensity.

AB - The influence of approximately 34 and 55 h of sleep deprivation on performance scores derived from manually tracking the localizer needle on an aircraft instrument was assessed under both static (no motion) and dynamic (whole-body angular acceleration) laboratory conditions. In each of two experiments, 20 young men were equally divided into groups of control and sleep-deprived subjects. All tests were conducted in an enclosed Stille-Werner rotator in total darkness with the exception of the illuminated tracking display. In both experiments, significant decrements in dynamic tracking performance were uniformly obtained after 24 h and more of sleep loss. Static tracking scores were also impaired but less consistently so. In Experiment II, administration of d-amphetamine after 53 h of sleep loss produced a sharp drop in error for both static and dynamic tracking. Although performance at both types of tasks remained poorer for sleep-deprived subjects, their static tracking scores did not differ significantly from control subjects 2 h after drug ingestion.

AB - The use of a Halon 1301 fire-suppression system was evaluated in regard to increasing escape time during a ground crash situation with an internal cabin fire. Tests were conducted in a DC7 fuselage varying the exit configurations, and fire size at agent discharge. Smoke, temperature, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and Halon 1301 levels were continuously monitored during the tests at various locations throughout the cabin. A sampling system for collecting hydrogen fluoride (HF), Halon 1301's primary decomposition product, was used. Samples at four locations were taken every 30 seconds, for 5 minutes after discharge. The use of a curtain to inhibit the spread of HF was also examined. The results indicated that in order to minimize the HF concentrations, the fire should be extinguished when its size is as small as possible, and prior to the opening of cabin exits. In order to reduce HF concentrations, the cabin exits should be opened as soon as the fire is extinguished. The use of a curtain to partition the cabin greatly reduced the spread of HF from the fire zone to the protected section. Test results also indicated that a system malfunction causing Halon 1301 concentrations less than those needed to extinguish a fire could produce very high HF levels. Conversely, a deep-seated fire produced relatively small HF levels.

AB - Correction coefficients to reduce the production of exhaust emissions to standard-day conditions for ambient temperature and humidity were developed for two classes of aircraft turbine engines. Correlation and multiple regression methods were used in the analysis of emission measurements recorded from two turbine engines, operated under naturally occurring environmental conditions, starting in the winter and continuing through the summer season. Correction factors were established for the emission index (EI) and power index (PI) for carbon monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbons (THC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) for each of five engine power conditions of idle, approach, cruise, maximum continuous, and takeoff. Ambient temperature produced the dominant effect on all gaseous emissions. EI and PI for THC required the greatest magnitude of ambient temperature correction factors. Humidity had a significant secondary effect on the generation of NOx). The effects of barometric pressure were within experimental error for the minimal range of pressures encountered. The correction coefficients established from a TF30-P1 engine data base were determined to be applicable for correction of JT8D engine emissions. The temperature and humidity effects on the generation of emissions are now considered to have been a major source of variability of measurements from past investigations.

Photographs were made of fuel particles formed by air shearing in the NAFEC Fire Test Facility. Ignition studies of the modified fuel sprays included photographs of typical combustion patterns. Comparisons of shear viscosity, droplet geometries, and ignitability of the different antimisting fuels clarify the effect of polymeric additives on turbine fuel safety, and indicate critical criteria for modified fuel specifications. The results of this investigation lead to two major conclusions. First, the modified fuel spray consists of particles of large size and highly aspherical geometry. Second, although a modified fuel can be flammable in the presence of an intense ignition source, all modified fuels tested were more difficult to ignite than neat fuel.

A shelter beneath the tower provides an enclosure for the control and radiofrequency distribution system of the ESA. This final report covers the system testing to demonstrate the ATCRBS ESA dynamic capabilities in typical terminal environment and to examine beacon monopulse performance. It is concluded that the computer-controlled ATCRBS ESA demonstrated the automated features of the antenna, including agile beam management. In addition, the ATCRBS ESA monopulse target detection system was exercised during the flight test effort. This testing established that the field environment and aircraft maneuvering affected the resulting parameters of system operation (i.e., azimuth accuracy and received signal level). Basic monopulse target detection and processing is feasible for the ATCRBS.

The purpose was to evaluate these six prototype TACAN radomes, with embedded wire-wound heaters, to determine their effectiveness in preventing weather effects due to snow and/or ice accumulation at these six selected VORTAC facilities. Analysis of the data which were collected during the 6 months of testing indicates that the wire-wound radome, when modified with improved control stabilization circuit and adjusted for optimum operation, was effective in minimizing the accumulation of ice and/or snow on the vertical surface of the radome. Several modifications were developed by site personnel to reduce or prevent excessive hunting by the various control circuitry. Further test and evaluation should be performed during the next winter to determine the most effective approach before any recommendation for field implementation.

AB - This report presents forecasts of military air traffic activity at facilities operated by the Federal Aviation Administration for fiscal years 1977 through 1988. These data are required for proper planning to meet the demands which the United States military services will place on the National Aviation System. The report is used as a guide in determining the need for larger or additional FAA facilities, for changes or consolidations, and for increases or decreases in personnel at existing facilities. Data on number of active military aircraft and hours flown were supplied by the office of Secretary of Defense. Data covers the period fiscal years 1977-1983 for the three military services. Because detailed planning data beyond this timeframe were not available from the Department of Defense, the 1983 levels were extended forward for general planning guidance for 1984-1988. The federal Government's fiscal year changed to October 1- September 30 beginning in 1976 as part of the new law revamping the entire budgetary process. This is one of a series of specialized forecast studies issued annually by the FAA Aviation Forecast Branch, Office of Aviation Policy. Suggestions and comments on the scope and content of this report are requested and will be given careful consideration in planning future editions.

AB - This paper is the report of an analysis of the economic benefits of providing crashworthiness improvements within future Army utility helicopters. The analysis was performed for use in the Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analysis (COEA) for the Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS). The analysis baseline is all UH-1H major aircraft accidents from January 1972 through December 1975. Major accident rates and losses due to accidents are derived for each COEA candidate aircraft. Losses are projected for a twenty year period of peacetime operation. Projections are derived based on each candidate's design features and the effectiveness of these features under the particular conditions in each UH-1H accident. Recommendations are made regarding use of accident losses within the UTTAS COEA and future similar studies.

AB - The report describes the test and evaluation conducted to determine the performance of the beacon processing subsystem (BPS) of the Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS III) all-digital tracking level system. A test bed was established to perform an evaluation of the level-one ARTS III system in fiscal year 1973. This included development of statistical reduction programs to provide summary data defining system performance. The level-one beacon ARTS III report (FAA-RD-73-182) contains the results and conclusions of that study from which a baseline standard of performance has been established. The test bed and reduction program interface were modified to accommodate the improved beacon data acquisition subsystem (BDAS). Technical tests were conducted using special test equipment to determine the characteristics of the improved BDAS and improved software. These tests included wide pulse detection, garble detection, code validation, processor loading, probability of detection, false alarm rates, and defruiter performance.

VOLUME I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PY - 1976/07 SP - 30 p. AB - This study of air traffic delay at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, it causes and potential solutions has identified no panacea to the problem in the present or future. However, the study does outline a comprehensive program of delay reduction measures which if implemented, has the potential to dramatically reduce the current level and costs of delay. The program will also provide significant future delay reduction benefits regardless of the future air traffic control environment. The potential cost savings outlined are not intended to represent absolutes but rather to point out the most productive directions in which to focus industry action. During the study, several of the delay reduction concepts identified by the Task Force have been tested by the study sponsors with results which parallel those identified in the Task Force evaluations, lending additional credence to the concepts. This publication is a summary version of the final Task Force report which is comprised of three volumes: this Executive Summary, a Technical Report detailing the analyses which led to the recommendations, and a volume of Technical Appendices containing the data and the methodology used in this study.

AB - An analysis of 382 impact-survivable/substantial damage turbine aircraft accidents and incidents which occurred during the 11-year period from 1964 through 1974 was performed as part of an overall study of the interrelationship of aircraft crashworthiness and airport crash fire-rescue services. The analysis included 343 accidents and incidents which occurred in the U.S. and 39 outside the U.S. Crashworthiness data were obtained from accidents both in and outside the U.S. The U. S. accidents also provided data for an airport crash fire-rescue service analysis. The crashworthiness analysis indicated that 94.9 percent of the fatalities in world-wide U.S. air carrier impact-survivable accidents resulted from accidents where fire occurred. Fire and its effects were estimated to be the cause of: (1) forty percent of the fatalities; (2) fatal injuries to 23.3 percent of the occupants in survivable/fatal accidents; and (3) a reduction in survivability, from 65.2 percent to 41.9 percent, of the occupants in survivable/fatal accidents. The status of FAA crashworthiness R and D programs directed toward the development of aircraft fire protective measures is described to focus on efforts being taken to reduce the fire hazard.

AB - Data is analyzed as it applies to the use of nondestructive testing (NDT) to assist in conducting a destructive test program to evaluate the load carrying capacity of airport pavements. Different devices are available to perform these tests. The Benkelman beam, for example, senses the deflection of a pavement under actual loading configurations. Some electronic devices are also used to sense cracked pavements by wave velocity measurements. The procedures for the determination of the load bearing capacity of airport pavements using NDT techniques are considered to be less costly, present less interference to normal airport operations, and provide the evaluation engineer with more data on which to base his decision. Also, the dynamic stiffness modulus (DSM) values are useful for qualitative comparisons between one pavement area and another, and for locating areas which may show early distress. Appendices provide additional data, tables, charts and references.

AB - This report provides an analysis of the potential for developing satellite, or secondary airports in major metropolitan areas, and an estimate of the benefits satellite airport development might provide. Approximately 365 satellite airport candidates were identified in the 23 largest metropolitan areas (large hubs). These airports have the capacity to support additional air traffic which might be diverted from the larger more congested air carrier airports in each area. Maximum utilization of these satellite facilities could maintain aircraft congestion and delay at the top 25 airports at or below 1975 levels for up to 15 years. While the analysis shows there is additional capacity available at satellite airports, there appear to be insufficient incentives at present for aircraft operators in use these facilities.

AB - This report provides an evaluation of the impacts of airport quotas and peak-hour pricing on air traffic congestion and airport system delay. This analysis addresses two issues. First, would a schedule of peak-load pricing and quotas reduce airport system delays. Second, would a schedule of peak-pricing and quotas complement the system improvements provided by the technological features of the UG3RD. It is concluded, as a result of this analysis, that, in theory, peak-hour pricing and quota alternatives would effectively complement the technological features of the UG3RD by relieving aircraft congestion and delay and improving the flow of air traffic between the 25 largest air carrier airports. While there are theoretical advantages to pricing and quota alternatives, there are economic and institutional constraints limiting their implementation on a widespread scale. Included among these constraints are the unresolved issues which might confront the FAA, airport sponsors, and the airlines.

AB - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is committed to establishment of airman physical standards and certification policies that are as liberal as possible without compromising aviation safety. Through the years, medical flight test results, research, and consultant opinions have resulted in relaxation of medical standards and policies and current FAA certification of 4,704 pilots with blindness or absence of one eye, 14,421 who wear contact lenses, 15,779 with deficient color vision, 15,543 with deficient distant vision and smaller, but significant, numbers with paraplegia, deafness, and amputations. Limitations are placed on flying activities when appropriate. Routine aircraft accident investigations seek to determine the presence of physical problems in the involved airmen and any probable association of the defect with the accident cause. Three categories exceeded expectations significantly: blindness or absence of one eye, deficient color vision with a waiver, and deficient distant vision. However, these groups reported much higher median flight times than a non-accident airman population and accident airmen without any of the pathology selected for this study. Analyses of available data proved inconclusive but increased exposure may account for most or all of the increased accidents observed for airmen with these three pathologies.

AB - A brief flight test program was conducted at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC) to investigate the time-history characteristics of the vortex system of a Lockheed L1011 airplane in terminal area-type operations using a 140-foot high instrumented tower. Vortex rotational flow velocities were measured by hot-film anemometers, vortex flow visualization--as outlined by tower-mounted smoke granades--was deocumented, and meteorological data was recorded. In addition, data on aircraft track, performance, and configuration were gathered. The test results show that: (1) the L1011 vortex system was more persistent and intense than that of other heavy jet transport (300,000 lb) aircraft tested by NAFEC, but did not persist for more than 2 minutes; (2) vortex dissipation was due primarily to vortex breakdown (bursting); (3) vortex core diameters were on the average about 5, 4, and 2 feet in diameter for the landing, approach, and takeoff configurations, respectively; (4) peak recorded tangential velocities, were 126, 135, and 224 feet per second for these same respective configurations; (5) vortex lateral movement in-ground effect was approximately (pi/6.6)b, above ground level; and (6) average vortex descent velocities approached 6 feet per second out of ground effect.

AB - This report summarizes the results of a joint NASA-FAA research program directed toward development of civil airworthiness flight-criteria for power-lift transports. Tentative criteria are proposed for performance and handling characteristics for powered-lift transport aircraft in commercial service. The aircraft considered are primarily wing-supported vehicles which rely upon the propulsion system for a significant portion of lift and control. VTOL aircraft are excluded. The flight criteria treat primarily the approach and landing flight phases, because it is in these flight phases that the greatest use of powered lift is made, and the greatest differences from conventional aircraft tend to appear. Consequently, the flight task tends to become most demanding. The tentative criteria are based on simulation and flight experience with a variety of powered-lift concepts. These concepts have not employed flight director, advanced displays, or advanced augmentation systems. The tentative criteria proposed were formulated by a working group comprised of representatives of the U.S., British, French, and Canadian airworthiness authorities, as well as research personnel of the NASA and other organizations. It is recognized that more work is needed to assure general applicability of the critera.

AB - Several mathematical relationships are presented which relate the Westergaard method of analysis used for rigid pavements and the elastic layer method of analysis used for both rigid and flexible pavements. Twenty-three pavement sections were selected to illustrate the usage of these relationships. These sections represent the widest possible variation of rigid pavement types for which sufficient materials data was available. For the sections studied and within the context of linear analysis, these relationships demonstrate that the peak pavement stress can usually be computed by either method of analysis while the peak displacements are separated by a rather consistent seventy percent.

The recommended system will provide rapid generation and dissemination of reliable user oriented observations and very short range severe weather forecasts (up to 30 min.) to facilitate controller planning. This new capability will: (1) reduce weather induced controller work load peaks, (2) permit controllers to coordinate and preplan aircraft rerouting for weather avoidance, (3) achieve an improved balance between the inefficiency of overreaction and the essentials of safety, (4) facilitate controller response to pilot requests for weather data on a work load permitting basis, and (5) enable the issuance of accurate weather advisories. The system will also provide rapid generation and dissemination of reliable short range forecasts (up to 4 hours) to permit early introduction of necessary flow control procedures. This new capability will: (1) decrease problems for controllers, (2) increase acceptance of flow control, and (3) increase traffic flow efficiency without decreasing safety.

Overall performance goals which should be achieved are listed, as well as the special needs for handling bags from arriving aircraft. Three of five goals for the system to handle outgoing baggage deal with check-in position locations. A system to process baggage through a domestic terminal is also considered. Airport management, working with the airline tenants must make some policy decisions before implementation of a baggage handling plan. These policy decisions relate to the check-in location, and to the gate layout. The importance is also noted of making equipment selections and the manpower needed to operate and maintain the equipment. The possibilities of future growth must also be considered in baggage handling plans.

AB - Student pilots or new air traffic controllers have two ways to learn to understand the noisy and distorted communications common to aircraft operations: they may learn as they are working on other aspects of the activity, or they may learn by devoting a continuous period of time to speech-intelligibility improvement. Work completed at this laboratory indicates that two listening sessions of less than 1 hour each can accomplish the improvement and, under some circumstances, a single session will do. The current experiments are intended to reveal some of the microstructure of this learning process.

AB - Student pilots receiving all instruction in an aircraft and student pilots who received a portion of their flight training in a ground trainer were compared in terms of flying proficiency, psychological (anxiety) states during training, and certain physiological measures. Pilot performance appeared to be equal in both groups, as measured by objective ratings and check-pilot observations. There was no evidence that student pilot anxiety was differentially influenced by these two training procedures, although anxiety did vary as a function of the type of flight (dual, solo, evaluation). There were some trends in the physiological data to suggest slightly more favorable conditions in the ground trainer. No contraindications to ground trainer use were evident.

VOLUME II. PACIFIC AND INDIAN OCEAN AREAS PY - 1976/03 SP - 98 p. AB - Seven alternative operating scenarios have been considered, and the communications channels required by each have been evaluated. The evaluation entailed (1) the characterization of present oceanic communications traffic, (2) the estimation of future communications traffic as an extension of present-day traffic, and (3) the generation of operating scenarios and the determination of the number of communications channels required. The effort concentrated on air-to-ground and ground-to-air communications and incorporated the views of major international air carriers. Channel requirements were based on the assumption that a single control point would be used to control the use of channels, and calculations excluded any spare channels for system backup, emergency alerts, or dedicated continuous broadcast purposes.

AB - The original impetus for this project came from the Computer Program production tools task. The approach chosen was to provide microfiche readers and reader/printers to representative test sites. Participants were the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), Houston ARTCC, and Houston Intercontinental Tower, as well as the Air Traffic Service (AAT-500) and Airway Facilities Service (AAF-600) elements located at NAFEC. AAT-500 and AAF-600 supplied the documentation for the microfiche distribution tests. During the course of this study approximately eighty thousand pages of documentation were photographed and another eighty thousand pages of computer listings were produced using the computer output to microfiche (COM) technique. Microfiche Production culminated with the delivery of the complete documentation for the A3d2.1 Enroute and the A0.9 Terminal Systems. The users had mixed reactions to a microfiche documentation system. In general there was acceptance of the printed documentation but resistance to the computer listings on microfiche. The problems encountered in addition to the obvious one of not being able to annotate film can, for the most part, be overcome with better control over the production facility. These problems included poor turn-around time and a need to educate the contractor in the unique aspects of FAA documentation.

AB - The analysis and design of a broadside glideslope antenna array and its shielded loop elements are presented. This non-image array is intended to replace the glideslope image array in regions where the latter does not perform well, such as in unlevel terrain or over tidal water. The synthesis of the array is presented with an analysis of its required height. The tower design and the design of a corner reflector behind the loops are given. The major effort was the design of the shielded loop, a single-turn loop of stripline construction. Its impedance is matched with a series stub and a broadbanding circuit integral in the stripline feed. An integral monitor design is also described. The sensitivity of the loop impedance to rain and ice is investigated, as well as the performance of various radome approaches. An integral radome and a conventional type are discussed. Finally, a three-element array with a small distribution network is described and its performance presented. Full-sized distribution and monitor networks are discussed. The feasibility of using the loop element in existing image arrays is demonstrated, and a detailed design of a coaxial construction with a single-rod reflector is given.

AB - A high-altitude area navigation (RNAV) network study was conducted at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC) in order to (1) apply and evaluate the FAA/Industry RNAV Task Force concepts for RNAV route structures in the high-altitude airspace, (2) offer alternative approaches, where appropriate, and (3) derive data relative to the potential benefits to the air traffic control (ATC) system and to its users by the implementation of RNAV. For design purposes, the enroute structure was based on the requirements for an all-RNAV high-altitude environment starting in 1977. Route structures were evaluated through fast time simulation of a mixed RNAV/VOR environment, with traffic samples representing projected traffic densities for the pre-1977, 1977-1982, and post-1982 time periods with varying mixes of RNAV-equipped aircraft. Alternative route structure design principles were developed which differed from the RNAV Task Force concepts in (1) the configuration of arrival and departure routing into and out of terminal areas, (2) the use of one-way routes, (3) the use of charted routes versus provision for noncharted offset tracks, (4) the treatment given to traffic from intermediate terminals with respect to nearby flows between more distant terminals, and (5) route width requirements.

AB - This first experiment was performed as part of the process of developing a standardized performance criterion for journeyman enroute traffic controllers. The final performance measurement system will be used in personnel research such as evaluating potential aptitude test capacity to predict suitability for entrance into training. The criterion measure will be based on the use of realistic dynamic simulation of the radar air traffic control situation. The completed measurement system will be required to possess reliability, objectivity, and relevance of measurement of performance. Another requirement will be the availability of alternate traffic problems which are different but proven to be of equivalent difficulty level. This experiment sought directions for constructing different but equally difficult (parallel) forms of the test by using combinations of sector geographic structures and traffic density levels. Two sectors, which differed widely in geographic structure, and three traffic density levels were orthogonally combined to yield six experimental conditions. Six experienced air traffic controllers worked under each of the six conditions in the ATC simulator. Results indicated that performance scores were much less affected by sector structure than by traffic density. Consequently, it was accepted as a guideline for further work that parallel forms can be built on the basis of traffic density level equivalence alone.

AB - Results of simulation of sectors in the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), New York Common IFR (instrument flight rules) Room, and terminals within the New York control area are described. The simulation experiments were designed to show the effect of a proposed Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulation concerning tone burst identification of privately owned transmitters on air traffic control (ATC) air/ground voice communications. The results are presented in 180 pages of output data showing the effect of tone burst duration on communications delay and channel utilization over both long (2-hour) and short (1-minute) term time durations for nine distinct sector types. The unmistakable conclusion is that implementation of the proposed regulation will adversely affect air/ground communications unless some way is found to prevent tone burst identification procedures from extending the duration of pilot-initiated transmissions. For example, observed percentage increases in average channel utilization, i.e., the fraction of a 2-hour period during which the air/ground channel is busy, ranged from 11 to 18 percent when the tone burst length was set at 0.5 second. At tone burst durations of 1.5 seconds, the observed range was 35 to 54 percent.

It should be emphasized that this Conference was convened to identify the causes, clinical course and possible risks of cardiovascular disease in aviation medicine. The deliberations were made without concern for any political or regulatory agencies and do not reflect an official position of The American College of Cardiology. The recommendations set forth in this report are those of the Conference participants and reflect the present documented scientific opinion and positions of the conferees. The Conference made no effort to be concerned with operational or economic factors in regard to the recommendations and confined its conclusion to the scientific facts to protect pilots, passengers and civilian populations from the potential hazards of in-flight cardiovascular accidents.

Horizontal error parameters evaluated included navigation sensor (VOR/DME) error, flight technical error, computer and total system error. Vertical error parameters evaluated included altimetry error, flight technical error, vertical error due to along track error, computer error, and total system error. Three vertical profiles were flown in a six segment test route; three-degree climbs, three degree descents, and a six degree descent. Statistical evaluations were performed on the data and resulting values were then compared to FAA Advisory Circular 90-45A values. Statistical envelope plots for each segment and error type were generated as aids in evaluating the data.

It qualitatively describes the sort of data available and some of the possible ways the data can be presented. A description of radio effects caused by various phenomena is compiled from past work done primarily by Geophysical Institute personnel in the frequency range 10 KHz to 1.5 GHz as illustrative examples. These results are presented in tables that illustrate both the temporal and frequency effects of each of the geophysical phenomena considered. It is concluded that a more thorough study of the literature could provide the material necessary for a practical high-latitude communications handbook for airmen.

AB - Flight tests were conducted on two self-generating overheat detection systems installed in the number two nacelle of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Convair CV880. The systems were mounted inboard and outboard in the nacelle paralleling the existing aircraft system. The outboard system logged 722.2 flight hours with no problems reported. The inboard system logged 615.0 flight hours. Shortly after the inboard system was installed, overheat warnings were obtained when the thrust reversers were used. The problem was found in the control box which caused the system to alarm at a lower temperature than was set. The inboard system then operated flawlessly for 585.9 flight hours until another problem in the control box caused the system to cease operating completely. No false alarms were noted, at any time, from electrical noise. It is concluded that the self-generating system tested is an airworthy system which should decrease the false fire warning rate in engine nacelles.

AB - With the enactment of the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 the nation moved toward achieving an efficient and safe airport and airways system. Reflecting the role of aviation in the economy and the public benefit derived from safe and efficient operation, that statute (1) found the airport and airway system inadequate to meet the requirements of the then current and projected growth in aviation, (2) declared substantial expansion and improvement was required to meet the demands of interstate commerce, the postal service, and national defense, and (3) established an expanded program of federal matching grants to sponsors of airports serving commercial and general aviation. Moreover, the Act established a system of user taxes paid into a trust fund to provide an assured, long-term source of funding. Section 24 of the Airport and Airway Development Act requires that the Secretary, Department of Transportation, submit an annual report to Congress of operations under Part II of the Act for the preceeding fiscal year. This report covers operation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1976 and e Transition Quarter ending September 30, 1976.

VOLUME I. SUMMARY PY - 1975/12 SP - 31 p. AB - The existing surveillance-based air traffic control system has been effective in preventing midair collisions, especially those involving air carrier aircraft. Improvements in this effectiveness can be achieved, in the short-term, thorugh mandatory carriage of altitude-encoding beacon (ATCRBS) transponders. To achieve the desired major improvements in collision prevention for public air transportation requires the addition of an independent backup capability to the primary ground-based system and a new capability beyond the limits of its surveillance coverage. These can be best achieved in the mid-term by an airborne BCAS system based on the mandatory carriage of altitude-encoding transponders.

Community noise simulation systems were placed in the homes of twenty-four families that were not impacted by actual airport noise. Four different airport noise conditions were simulated. Three conditions involved day flights of 150 aircraft with average Noise Exposure Forecast (NEF) values of 36.9, 32.5, and 26.9. The fourth condition added 18 night flights (10:00 PM to 7:00 AM) which resulted in a mean NEF of 32.9.

AB - This engineering study determines the feasibility of and prepares a conceptual design for a ground-based warm fog dispersal system at a selected airport which has a high frequency of fog and a large air traffic volume that is adversely affected by fog. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) was selected as the airport for study. The study considers and includes a brief review of warm fog dispersal mechanisms. The results indicate that heat is presently the only reliable technique for warm fog dispersal. Two methods of applying heat to fog are examined in detail, namely, the Thermokinetic and Modified Passive Thermal. Engineering costs estimates are developed. The results of the study indicate that both systems would be cost-effective at Los Angeles International Airport. For improving the visibility in fog to CAT 2 minimums, the 12-year benefit-to-cost ratio of the Thermokinetic Fog Dispersal System which uses natural gas for fuel is 8.7 to 1 while the Modified Passive Thermal Fog Dispersal System has a ratio of 4.8 to 1. The study concludes that a Thermal Fog Dispersal System at LAX is both feasible and cost effective.

AB - The objective of the Performance Measurement System (PMS) development effort is to develop a system to routinely evaluate ATC system performance at major terminals where user demand pushes airport capacity. The PMS development effort was undertaken to establish capacity standards and the appropriate mechanicsms for measuring airport performance. These capacity standards, which are called Engineered Performance Standards (EPS's) serve as the basis for calculating hourly airport performance indexes (P.I.'s) and for determining what factors inhibit airport capacity and encourage delays in the airport area. A PMS based on EPS's can highlight what problems are occuring and their effect on system performance. Ultimately, analyses from the PMS are used to identify the actions that are reguired to improve system performance. A summary of the EPS's set to date by configuration and weather condition is presented in tabular form. Also included in this report are chapters on the methodology, PMS implementation, and airports selected for PMS application.

The review was limited to studies that involved response to actual or recorded flyover signals of conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft. Study summaries are provided for the studies reviewed. These summaries included study aim, number of subjects, type of aircraft signals, and results. Study methods identified were laboratory, field studies, social survey approach, complaint studies, damage risk, interference type studies, and combination methods. Laboratory methods have dominated research work in this area and with the exception of the social survey and complaint methods, emphasis has been on response to individual flyover events. A few recent studies have studied response to number of events over time, particularly interference type studies. Research needs are identified emphasizing the more realistic methods which investigate human response to multiple events over time.

These are developed in this paper with a view toward identifying the relationships between separation standards and the variables describing the final approach environment. This provides a basis for systematic evaluation of changes in separation standards due to changes in the environment, particularly through Engineering and Development products. Analytical relationships are developed primarily for IFR conditions, represented by strict adherence to all applicable ATC rules and procedures. For modeling purposes, relationships are also developed for 'standards' for VFR conditions, represented by visual approaches from an IFR flight plan.

More accuracy in prediction is possible when statistical quality control (SQC) procedures are applied. SQC should eliminate biased results. Conventional methods of control may cause material that is accepted on one job to be rejected on another job due solely to the differences in opinion of the engineers in charge. SQC will standardize the specification requirements from one job to another by better describing the procedures for evaluating pavement materials and construction.

AB - The potential of the radiofrequency resonance absorption spectroscopy (RRAS) techniques for detecting specified quantities of specific explosives in checked airline luggage was investigated. The RRAS techniques considered in this study included nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). It was found that all the explosives, except black powder, could be detected by NMR and that the NMR response from explosives could be separated from the response produced by other materials likely to be found in luggage. It was also found that black powder and smokeless powders could be detected by ESR but none of the other explosives produced an ESR response. NQR was found useful only for the detection of the RDX base explosive C-4 but even this material could be more sensitively detected by NMR. The results were sufficient to demonstrate the basic feasibility of using NMR for detection of responses from materials in the large volumes required to inspect checked baggage, but limitations on the available laboratory equipment prevented positive detection of explosives or explosives simulants in this space.

AB - The study is an analysis of how well RCA's aircraft collision avoidance systems, known as the SECANT VECAS and the SECANT VECAS-GA, will perform in the high-density traffic forecast for the Los Angeles Basin in 1982. The evaluation is based on the threat logic of ANTC-117. The RCA equipment, consisting of reasonable assumed mix of VECAS, VECAS-GA, and a proximity warning indicator in its present design configurations, meets the relevant specifications and otherwise conforms to the intent of ANTC-117. Some minor difficulties remain, the most significant of which is the possible delay in tracking one of two targets with nearly the same range. However, these are not expected to cause any serious design problems. Also, VECAS-GA should be provided with 32 rather than 16 trackers for operation in high-density traffic. The system now appears to have some growth potential, and further improvements, leading to performance somewhat beyond that required by ANTC-117, seem possible.

AB - The report explores critical problems in the Honeywell CAS in a high density environment such as that projected by the FAA in 1971 for the Los Angeles Basin in 1982 (800 aircraft). In the analysis, the Air Transport Association (ATA) collision avoidance logic was used to evaluate the performance of the Honeywell CAS and the suitability of the ATA logic was not questioned. Where possible, this report attempts to build on IDA's previous analyses; however, because of extensive and significant design changes, particularly in the threat evaluation logic, the performance of the Honeywell CAS with regard to detection probability and false alarm probability in a dense environment had to be revised considerably. Honeywell has proposed two levels of equipment for use in collision avoidance; the AVOIDS-I and AVOIDS-II. The AVOIDS-I is intended for use by high-performance aircraft and can handle encounters between aircraft with closing speeds up to 2000 ft/sec. The threat evaluation logic of the AVOIDS-I is patterned after the ATA logic, but some minor differences exist. The AVOIDS-II equipment is intended for use by low-performance aircraft and is not patterned after the ATA logic.

AB - The purpose of the study is to evaluate SIERRA's concept for a collision avoidance system, referred to as DME/CAS. The evaluation is one of a series of studies of various collision avoidance concepts. The DME/CAS is an air-derived synchronous concept intended to exploit the proliferated network of DME ground facilities to obtain synchronization and to adapt airborne DME designs for time-sharing between the DME and CAS functions. DME ground facilities would be augmented to transmit a CAS time reference signal, in addition to normal DME replies; airborne clocks would be synchronized to the received reference, after correction for the propagation delay obtained by DME techniques. Synchronized CAS participants transmit and receive one-way range and encoded altitude signals for threat evaluation in accordance with the ANTC-117 threat logic. The areas addressed in this study include the impact of time sharing between DME and CAS functions; the impact of various interference mechanisms (fruit, co-slot and adjacent slot occupancy, multipath), and threat parameter measurement accuracies.

PHASE II PY - 1975/10 SP - 88 p. AB - The study represents the second phase of IDA's evaluation of the Collision Avoidance System (CAS) development by the McDonnell Douglas Electronics Company (MDEC). The MDEC CAS is an air-derived synchronous system based on time/frequency multiplexing techniques - synchronization timing is disseminated by ground stations and by air-to-air relay among appropriately equipped aircraft. Range-rate measurement accuracies were re-examined because of the design changes, i.e., replacement of doppler measurements with range difference measurements. Synchronization was addressed in some detail to complement the Phase I study. In particular, the limitations imposed by transmitter power, antenna nulls/fades, and receiver sensitivity were analyzed in the context of the air-to-air synchronization relay links. Ultimately, the analysis led to the question: 'What happens when there is no synchronization and the asynchronous Back-Up Mode (BUM) will have to be invoked'. For this reason, a portion of the study was devoted to the analysis of the BUM.

AB - The report presents the forecasts of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) aircraft handled by FAA air route traffic control centers (ARTCC). It serves as a base for the FAA planning and budget process in determining future requirements for facilities, equipment and manpower. The forecasts show that total aircraft handled will increase from 23.6 million in FY 1975 to 39.4 million in FY 1987. These national total numbers along with those for several interiming years are broken down by FAA region and by each air route traffic.

The system was installed on a Continental Air Lines/Air Micronesia 727-100 aircraft and data were collected in the North Pacific Area primarily between Honolulu and Guam. The program results indicate that Loran-C is a satisfactory substitute for Loran-A in the evaluation area. In most cases, the coverage was much more adequate than the present Loran-A coverage.

A mimic control and display system was developed and installed at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC). It was tested to determine its ability to: (1) expedite the operations of the air traffic controller, (2) reduce power consumption by airport regulators in the field, and (3) reduce training time. The result of the tests indicates that the mimic control and display system is very suitable for airport operations and that only economic considerations would be a determining factor in not using it. It was recommended that the system be used in any airport where multiple runways and taxi-way paths exist, and also that a program be established to further determine any method that would reduce the cost of design and installation.

AB - The National Plan for a Microwave Landing System (MLS) has specified a carrier frequency for the system in the vicinity of 5.1 GHz. At that frequency, no multipath data taken at a major civilian airport existed. The purpose of this experiment was to obtain such data at Logan International Airport in order to ascertain: (1) which objects are the major causes of measurable multipath reflections and their levels relative to the direct signal (M/D level), (2) whether or not the reflections from these objects can be satisfactorily simulated by the Lincoln computer model and, if so, how complicated must that model be, and (3) if the characteristics of multipath provide a significant discriminant between the Doppler and scanning beam techniques. It was found in the experiment that regions where reflections were noted could be predicted from ray optics and diffraction. No measurable reflections were noted elsewhere. For the purpose of modeling for multipath, building surfaces could be characterized as a flat plate with a reflection coefficient determined by measurement if it were a complicated surface, or by the dielectric properties of the surface material, if a simple surface. The airplane reflection model was also found to agree well with measurements.

The first part of the report considers the evaluation of MTS by approximately 10% of the Supervisory and Managerial Training Course graduates. It was found that supervisors and managers held similar views of MTS: Most felt that the program had been useful in helping them to meet the demands of their supervisory/managerial positions. The responses of the graduates indicated areas in which improvement could be effected within the MTS framework. The second part of the report presents the findings concerning the impact of MTS on the behavior of course graduates. It was found that MTS training resulted in an increase in desirable on-the-job activities of MTS graduates, as judged by the graduates themselves, their supervisors, and their employees. Those who had attended MTS entered training with supervisory/managerial skills somewhat below the level of those of the individuals who had not yet attended and they returned to perform at a somewhat higher level than those without the MTS experience.

VOLUME I. EXPERIMENTAL TEST RESULTS AND DEVELOPMENT OF EVALUATION METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURE PY - 1975/09 SP - 209 p. AB - Conventional direct sampling methods of airport pavement evaluation interfere with aircraft operations; therefore, an evaluation procedure based on nondestructive vibratory testing was developed. The procedure considers the parameters of pavement thickness and strength, soil strength, landing gear characteristics, and load repetition through correlation of FAA direct sampling procedures with the nondestructive data from termed the dynamic stiffness modulus, which is calculated from a vibratory load-deflection graph. The results indicated the need for standardized vibratory testing equipment, and specifications for a suggested model were written. Evaluation procedures were developed for rigid and flexible pavements which consider the environmental factors of temperature and frost-thaw action, the importance of test locations and quantities, and stabilized layers. Appendix A presents results of two correlations: (a) elastic deflection and pavement performance and (b) dynamic E-modulus and CBR. Appendix B presents the nondestructive testing and performance results on U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station test sections and the effects of bound pavement thickness on the nondestructive test results in an attempt to develop overlay design.

AB - This report describes methods of analyzing the flow of people through the airport landside, which is defined as extending between the airport boundary and the arrival/departure gates. Passenger delay for specified flow and holding values is taken as the desirable measure or level of service. Simulation is determined as the best method of analysis. Two types of simulation techniques are: (1) The deterministic accounting model evaluates mean delay or occupancies; and (2) The time oriented queueing theory model determines delay or occupancy distributions. The second is demonstrated as most accurately representing the stochastic interrelationships among the various landside elements. Various existing models are reviewed and two are recommended as offering potential applicability to investigate airport landside traffic.

Tests consisted of determining the probable bit error of two modems in a loop-around mode for each modem and then in a back-to-back mode between the two modems. For each of these two test conditions, the modems were subjected to various signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios at the data rates of 2400 and 4800 bits/second (b/s). Each test was terminated after 800 bit errors were accumulated, except for those test runs where the modem was running essentially error free, the test period was limited to a 24-hour period. Results indicated that the performance of each modem was the same over the S/N ratios used, within a plus or minus 1-dB S/N tolerance.

AB - Two Halon 1301 dispensing systems, modular nozzle and perforated tube, were designed and installed in an obsolete but completely furnished CD7 passenger cabin. For each system, agent distribution was continuously measured during discharge and for a period of 10 minutes at approximately 20 locations throughout the unpressurized cabin. The effect of Halon 1301 discharge on cabin temperature, noise, pressure, and visibility was also measured. The modular system was judged to be best by virtue of its producing more rapid and effective agent distribution resulting in greater potential fire-protection capability. Installation of the Halon 1301 dispensers along the ceiling for both systems minimized the known possible transient adverse effects upon passengers from agent concentration overshoot, discharge noise, over-pressure, and reduced temperature.

AB - This report presents the results of a test program conducted to measure the effect of varying meteorological conditions on aircraft flyover noise levels. Detailed temperature and humidity data were obtained using an instrument system carried by a light aircraft. High and low altitude inversions as well as standard lapse rate atmospheres were investigated. Level flyovers were conducted, using a DC-9-10 aircraft operated at a thrust of 6,000 lbs., as a constant noise source. Measured noise levels varied up to 4 EPNdB depending upon the absorptive properties of the atmosphere. Several analysis procedures were investigated in an effort to correct noise data for weather conditions. Weather correction procedures based on single point meteorological data were inadequate to normalize, to reference conditions, the noise data for those conditions with non-uniform temperature and humidity profiles. A layered analysis procedure, however, normalized all flyover noise levels to those levels taken under near reference conditions. The layered analysis procedure incrementally adjusts the measured peak spectra based on the acoustic absorption in each increment. These results indicated that noise certification testing under non-uniform temperature and humidity conditions could, if allowed, be conducted provided that frequent and detailed meteorological data is available and the layered weather correction procedure is used.

AB - The report evaluates the adequacy of existing technical assistance efforts aimed at transportation planners in the Department of Transportation and makes some recommendations on how the assistance can be improved. A model of a good technical assistance program with two basic components is proposed: (1) A structure consisting of the mechanisms necessary to transmit the technical expertise available to the users and to obtain feedback from them on the program; and (2) the substantive content of the program including the reports and studies generated by research and development efforts and other handbooks, guidelines, etc., of interest to the identified users. The conclusion with respect to structural adequacy is that components of a good technical assistance program are not found clearly identified in UMTA, FAA, or FRA. FHWA does have the necessary structural components of a good technical assistance program, but some improvement could be made in expanding the client group for their assistance. The conclusion with respect to content adequacy is that there are some gaps in the information available from FAA and FRA and that these gaps are not being addressed by the ongoing R and D.

AB - This study was initiated to experimentally determine what effect, if any, geophysical disturbances such as auroras, solar flares and magnetic storms have on VHF aeronautical navigation aids, in particular VOR, in high latitude regions. Recording VOR monitor stations were designed and assembled and subsequently installed at Ester Dome (Fairbanks VOR), Pedro Dome (Fairbanks VOR), and Hoonah (Sisters Island VOR). These monitor stations employed aircraft navigation receivers and antennas to duplicate, as much as possible, aircraft operating conditions. Continuous data were collected over a 10-1/2 month period. Radial course deviation and signal strength were recorded and compared with the geophysical data normally collected by the Geophysical Institute over the same period of time. No appreciable effects on short range navigation signals were produced by solar fluxes, magnetic storms, and substorms, auroras, or solar noise.

AB - Forty-five male subjects performed a simulated air traffic control radar task for 1 hour. Subjects were equally divided into three time-of-day groups and tested at 1000, 1300, and 1530. The subject's task was to respond as rapidly as possible to infrequent changes in alphanumeric symbols. Physiological recordings of blood pressure, oral temperature, skin conductance, body movement, heart rate and heart-rate variability, and performance measures of mean response latency and variability of response latencies were obtained. In addition, subjects rated their levels of boredom, monotony, irritation, attentiveness, fatigue, and strain at the beginning and end of the session. There were no differences between any of the time-of-day groups except in oral temperature, which was significantly higher in the afternoon than in the morning. Two extreme groups of eight subjects each were formed on the basis of their rated boredom and monotony and compared with respect to changes in each of the measures during the task period. The two groups differed significantly on several measures, with the high boredom-monotony group showing greater increases in 'long response times,' heart-rate variability, and strain along with a greater decrease in attentiveness. The nature of the pattern associated with boredom and monotony suggests a pattern more closely related to attentional processes than to 'arousal.' The extreme groups did not differ on the Eysenck Extraversion Scale or the Zuckerman General Sensation Seeking and Boredom Susceptibility Scales. Possible reasons for the lack of relationship with these scales are discussed.

KENNEDY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PY - 1975/08 SP - 35 p. AB - A blast fence installed at the departure end of runway 31L at John F. Kennedy International Airport intended to protect aircraft landing on runway 4R from the effects of jet blast was believed to be ineffective. Tests were conducted in two phases. The initial phase was subjective, using smoke to aid in flow visualization. These tests were inconclusive and led to a second phase using instrumentation to determine whether or not a jet blast was present on runway 4R behind the blast fence. Results of phase II confirmed the presence of a jet blast. Tests covered seven aircraft types and indicated maximum blast velocities at runway 4R of 35 miles per hour above ambient wind.

AB - The need for in-flight propeller stress measurements has been evident for the last three decades. This report documents the various instrumentation systems, methods, and techniques particularly suited to this purpose. The stress measurement process, in general terms, is considered with a more detailed description of the various options available to transmit signals from the propeller to the airframe. The procedures with which the transmitted signals may be recorded, processed, and reduced to meaningful information are presented with an assessment of their relative merits. An in-depth description of strain gage installation techniques is presented, depicting short- as well as long-term all-weather installations, heretofore uncommon in the state-of-the-art. Further discussion is addressed to electronic data processing and a typical flight test profile.

AB - One of the hazards encountered when flying into a major airport today is the possibility of accidentally undershooting the threshold of the runway and impacting into present-day approach lighting systems located there. Tests were conducted on approach lamps and holders to determine to what extent current designs are frangible. A catapult accelerated the fuselages of two widely used types of small aircraft to collision with PAR-38 and PAR-56 lamps and associated holders. 53 runs at different speeds and with different exposed lamp face orientations were made. Results show that a safety redesign of the lamps might reduce penetration probability and result in a lamp that will not penetrate windshields at less than approach landing speeds.

The method consisted of jetting water at high velocity to hydraulically remove the rubber from the surface. The results of these tests indicated that the equipment used by the runway-cleaning contractor did not damage the runway surface; however, it did not appreciably change the friction characteristics, probably due to the incomplete removal of all rubber deposits.

AB - This report describes and discusses the concept of reliability in pavement design. Some designers refer rather to 'design confidence level' or even in an older sense to increased design safety factors. The report covers the improvement of pavement design and the fact that 'pavement management systems' methodologies provide an ideal framework for considering reliability. Consideration is given to three techniques for reducing variability in design: (1) improved quality control, (2) use of design confidence level, and (3) the concept of reliability level. The study shows that pioneers in realistic use of reliability in design include Kher, Lemer, Moavenzadeh and Darter. The philosophy of determining and corroborating reliability levels is discussed and recommendations for work to advance the state-of-the-art are presented.

AB - The report details the coding techniques incorporated into the DABS uplink design. Justification is given for the error control method selected in terms of the link characteristics and design constraints. Performance results, including extensive evaluation by simulation and bench test, are presented for the selected code. A binary shortened cyclic code having 24 redundant bits was selected. The overhead due to the code redundancy is minimized by a scheme in which the parity check bits are overlayed on the discrete address field in the encoded message. This code is shown to have the capability of protecting a DABS transponder from accepting an erroneous uplink message with an error probability of less than 10 to the 7th power in a severe interference environment. This same code will be used in the DABS downlink in a burst erasure correction mode. Results of the analysis of the downlink will appear in a separate report.

AB - Statistical estimates of breakage probabilities from noise-induced vibration were calculated for susceptible structural elements at five historic sites near the proposed subsonic flight path of the Concorde aircraft. The five sites investigated were: Sully Plantation, Chantilly, Va.; Dranesville Tavern, Dranesville, Va.; Broad Run Bridge and Tollhouse, Loudoun County, Va.; Manassas Battlefield Park, Manassas, Va.; and St. George's Church, Hempstead, N. Y. The structural features analyzed included windows, brick chimneys, stone bridge, and a plaster ceiling. The calculated breakage probabilities for these features were generally less than .001 for a year of projected Concorde overflights--considerably below the failure rate that would be expected just from exposure to the weather. The only exception was the probability of breakage of lites of glass at Sully Plantation which were already cracked and are expected to be replaced. The response probability density function technique, used in previous studies of structural response to aircraft noise, was the method of calculation.

AB - This report presents background information and statistics on various aspects of the general aviation (G.A.) industry. The report documents the impressive growth of the general aviation fleet, particularly since the 1960's, and illustrates recent trends in G.A. aircraft types and user categories. It emphasizes that G.A. activities are becoming increasingly important in the National Aviation System of Airports and Airways and that this implies increased FAA workload. The report also discusses trends in aircraft production and export and the relative market shares of the producers of G.A. aircraft, as well as the industry's overall contribution to the U.S. balance of payments. The discussion of energy considerations suggests that the Arab oil embargo and subsequent increases in oil prices brought on by the pricing policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) had minimal effects on G.A. activities. However, legislative proposals designed to impose substantial taxes on gasoline production or sale might have depressing effects on future G.A. activities.

AB - Several studies have been performed to investigate the effectiveness of and develop independent altitude monitoring (IAM) systems. These studies noted that all IAM system concepts featured the common problem that IAM systems applications may be futile if pilot attention and comprehension of the IAM alert is not assured. This contract was issued to study that problem. The objectives of this study were to define an operational IAM alerting philosophy, develop candidate concepts, demonstrate and refine selected candidates, and develop implementation schemes. The output includes a summary of the alert philosophies used in current aircraft and IAM systems, a data base of currently used alert characteristics including stimuli response characteristics, a recommended IAM alert philosophy for each of four categories of aircraft, and guidelines for developing (or completing development) and implementing IAM alert systems. Basic alerting system concepts were developed for each category of aircraft. Implementation feasibility was evaluated for each concept; implementation recommendations are made.

AB - Intermittent Positive Control is a collision avoidance service provided to pilots by a totally automatic ground-based system. Collision avoidance is achieved by continuously providing pilots with advisory information on the location of nearby aircraft and by issuing avoidance commands on an 'as needed' basis. Intermittent Possitive Control provides protection both for pilots who are and for pilots who are not operating under the control of the Air Traffic Control System, while maintaining the freedom of action associated with uncontrolled flight.

A REVIEW OF FLIGHT INSPECTION STANDARDS AFFECTING LANDING PERFORMANCE AND COMPARISON WITH LIMITS EVOLVED FROM SYSTEM ANALYSIS PY - 1975/06 SP - 304 p. AB - System analysis techniques are used to determine maximum levels for ILS Glide Slope beam structure characteristics which will result in acceptable approach and landing outcomes. Results are based upon a power spectral density signature for ILS Glide Slopes obtained from a nonstationary statistical analysis of flight inspection data for 17 Category II and II-training facilities. Maximum levels and standard deviation time historics for typical aircraft/control system response; indicated glide path deviation, actual glide path deviation and actual glide path deviation rate; are used as the basis for recommending revisions to the ILS Glide Slope flight inspection data processing procedures, and for recommending relaxed flight inspection standards. The maximum extent to which current Glide Slope flight inspection standards might be relaxed is indicated to be very considerable along the entire approach path for Category I service. Relaxation of the standards in ILS Approach Zone 3 is also possible for Category II service. An additional finding is that the maximum extent to which flight inspection standards might be relaxed is exactly the same for Category II and III services. Further findings are that any distinctions between the approach performance obtained using manual flight director controlled approach coupling, automatic approach coupling, or inertially augmented automatic approach coupling do not warrant ILS Glide Slope flight inspection standards which are specific to the airborne user's method of coupling. Glide Slope approach couplers incorporating inertial augmentation produce significantly lower touchdown dispersion, but comparable missed approach rates.

INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS AND TESTING PROGRAM PY - 1975/06 SP - 82 p. AB - This report describes a study designed to determine the relationship between airport runway pavement responses to static and dynamic aircraft loads. Two series of tests were conducted, one during cold weather and the other during warm weather, at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center Airport, Atlantic City, N.J. Both a flexible and a rigid pavement runway were instrumented to measure and record pavement responses to aircraft loads. Aircraft were instrumented for both series to measure the aircraft wheel loads transmitted to the pavement structures during normal aircraft operations. A common time code signal recorded along with the pavement response and aircraft load data provided the means for correlating the two types of data. Data were collected for the following basic aircraft modes of operation: static loading; creep-, low-, medium-, and high-speed taxi; high-speed braking; take-off rotation; touchdown; high-speed braking with reverse thrust; and turning.

VOLUME I. SUMMARY PY - 1975/06 SP - 136 p. AB - Estimates of block time delays for the nation's domestic scheduled air carriers operating out of 20 major airports were determined from a data base recently made available by the CAB. This data base provides monthly averages of operational times, both airborne and on the ground, for all route segments receiving scheduled air carrier service, but the data in this report are limited to 325 route segments connecting with the 20 airports included in this study. Block time delays are those encountered from ramp to ramp on a route segment. Average monthly estimates of the delays for the airborne portion of the segment (wheels off to wheels on) are provided for a two year period from 1972 to 1973, and are categorized according to (1) route segment, (2) airline (3) aircraft type and (4) local scheduled arrival or departure time. Average monthly estimates of the ground portion of the route segment are categorized according to arrival and departure ground times at the 20 specific airport locations connecting the network of routes included in the study. Estimates of arrival and departure ground delays at specific airports are categorized further into Busy and Dull time intervals.

AB - The U.S. Aeronautical L-Band satellite test program was performed between September 1974 and April 1975 as part of an international ATS-6 L-Band satellite test program. The U.S. program consisted of both technology and ATC communications demonstration tests. The technology tests were comprised of multipath channel characterization tests; modem tests of voice, data, and ranging; and aircraft antenna tests. Multipath results include delay-Doppler scatter function characteristics and calculations of spectra, spreads and autocorrelations for both over-ocean and CONUS multipath. Comparison of sample results with model prediction is given. Voice modem intelligibility scores, digital data bit error rates and ranging modem performance are presented parametrically as functions of C/N sub 0 and S/I. Experimentally derived gain and multipath rejection performance data are given for the slot-dipoles, phased array, patch, and crossed-slot antennas for various aircraft/satellite geometries.

AB - This report summarizes the state-of-the-art in helicopter noise. It includes a bibliography of reports on all components of helicopter noise including main rotor, tail rotor, engine and gearbox. Literature on helicopter noise reduction and subjective evaluation of helicopter noise were also included. Capsule summaries of important reports are included which describe the purpose of the report, summarizes the important results, compares the report with others on the same subject, and provides a critical evaluation of the work presented. It is concluded that the available prediction methodology provides a means for estimating helicopter sources on a gross basis. However, the mechanisms of noise generation are still not fully understood, although the experimental and theoretical tools are now available to conduct the definitive experiments and establish the mathematical models needed for accurate definition of helicopter noise generation mechanisms. Spectrum analyses of helicopter noise show that main rotor, tail rotor, and engine sources contribute significantly to annoyance. In cases where these sources have been heavily suppressed, gearbox noise will also appear as a significant contributor to annoyance. Therefore, quieter helicopters must include suppression of all of these components.

AB - A study of the NAS Enroute computer program was made to determine the efficiency of the current code and to suggest ways of improving the program. The problem was divided into several areas to study improvements in the monitor, the data base, the mathematical algorithms, the program structure, and local code optimization. The results indicated that the program can be significantly improved. In another part of the study a typical program segment was selected, redesigned and recoded. The redesigned program was smaller, simpler, faster and more accurate. The recommendation of the study is that the NAS program be completely redeveloped. If this is not done, the study recommends improving the program by redeveloping large program segments and redesigning portions of the data base. Lesser improvements can be made by structural changes, local code optimization, and documentation improvements.

Two units, each comprised of send and receive channel-loss detectors and teletypewriter circuit interfaces and associated alarms, were developed and evaluated at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center in accordance with Systems Research and Development Service, Washington, requirements and were found to perform satisfactorily. As a digital device, the channel-loss detector may lend itself to other communication applications as needed.

Models for these two components of Localizer anomalies are given in terms of two linear differential equations and Gaussian probability density functions especially useful for landing system performance analysis. The structure component of the received Localizer guidance signal is found to be stationary, to have a standard deviation of 2.47 microamperes, and a characteristic length of 1309. ft. The alignment error component of the received Localizer guidance signal is found to have a mean of 2.25 microamperes (probably due to the relatively small sample of different Localizer facilities), and a standard deviation of 4.92 microamperes.

VOLUME I: ATLANTIC OCEAN AREA. PHASE 1 PY - 1975/05 SP - 267 p. AB - A study was conducted to determine the number of communications channels required by an operational aeronautical satellite system during the period 1985-2000. Seven alternative operating scenarios have been considered, and the communications channels required by each have been evaluated. The evaluation entailed (1) the characterization of present oceanic communications traffic, (2) the estimation of future communications traffic as an extension of present-day traffic, and (3) the generation of operating scenarios and the determination of the number of communications channels required. The effort concentrated on air-to-ground and ground-to-air communications and incorporated the views of major international air carriers. Channel requirements were based on the assumption that a single control point would be used to control the use of channels, and calculations excluded any spare channels for system backup, emergency alerts or dedicated continuous broadcast purposes.

The test equipment, designated Power Interrupt Equipment (PIE), interrupts and restores power at precise phase angles. This capability enables specific types and periods of outage to be caused so that outage effects on the unit or system under test can be analyzed. Maximum inrush current can also be produced so that its effect on circuit breakers and the operation of the unit or system under test can be analyzed. PIE was found capable of satisfying the requirements for interrupting and restoring power at precise phase angles. This test equipment facilitates test and evaluation of FAA equipment with respect to the capability of handling power interruptions.

AB - A ground based system to precisely locate aircraft in three dimensions based on transponder replies has been designed. Field tests have been conducted to validate the design of the elevation performance. This document reports on the principle of operation, experimental hardware and field test of the Precision Altitude and Landing Monitor (PALM). The key features incorporated in the PALM design include: (a) no new avionics required, i.e., uses standard aircraft transponder; (b) high accuracy position data, i.e., a 1-mrad (0.06 degrees) rms error in elevation and in azimuth; (c) broad airspace coverage, e.g., 40 degrees in elevation, 120 degrees in azimuth (expandable to 360 degrees) and several 10s of miles in range; and (d) low life cycle equipment cost. The high accuracy in the difficult airport multipath environment is a direct result of (a) a newly developed antenna synthesis procedure, (b) the development of adaptive multipath suppression techniques, and (c) the use of digital signal processing. The program, to date, has focused on an experimental evaluation of the elevation performance. The electronics required for the tests have been built into a self-powered van to facilitate experiments at remote airports. The actual flight test data demonstrated experimental errors on the order of 1 mrad; moreover, as predicted by theory, the resulting errors were essentially independent of elevation angle. Potential applications for the PALM position data include parallel approach monitoring, independent altitude monitoring, and/or performance assurance monitoring of landing guidance systems.

AB - The DABS link performance is computed using the present values for the system operating parameters and the available models that describe environmental and aircraft antenna effects. The various fade mechanisms are described, and a statistical determination of performance if proposed. The performance is computed for various sets of conditions including different ground antennas, aircraft maneuvers, antenna pedestal heights, ground reflection coefficients and reduced power. Also discussed are the effects of obstructions and the performance when aircraft are in the cone of silence. The DABS link is found to have very good overall performance with only small regions of reduced reliability that are at low angles or due to maneuvers. Those missed replies due to maneuvers are found to be sporadic from scan to scan.

This combination of circuits provides a 20-dB increase in MTI improvement factor over present ASR's and is within 2 dB of optimum processing results. An auxiliary channel is provided to allow detection of any target traveling tangentially if its return exceeds the level of ground clutter return in the occupied range/azimuth cell. The spectral processing technique provides discrimination against weather clutter if the returns from weather and from the target fall into different Doppler frequency regions.

These vehicles are then raised to the doors by specially designed lift devices so that passengers can enter and leave the aircraft via an airbridge. These vehicles would reduce the burden on private and taxi traffic as well as congestion on the road. It is suggested that older airports (without airbridges) should be equipped with fixed or mobile lift devices to raise the buses up to the aircraft. New airports, however, could have the freight area with fixed freight handling and servicing facilities beside the terminal, and links could be provided by roller tracks and conveyor chains. New airports could also have freight areas with mobile or fixed loaders at the aircraft positions.

After a discussion of available alternatives, it was decided to collect approximately six months of data from each of the twenty Air Route Traffic Control Centers within the conterminous United States. A computer program, designed and produced at NAFEC, reduces the collected data to meaningful statistics. This report presents the methods used as well as the conclusions derived from the survey.

Also, increased RF gain is needed to meet usable distance requirements when operating with solid state transmitting equipment.

Responses were obtained from 55 percent of the AMEs (many not responding were new AMEs with no experience). Of the respondents, 58 percent routinely gave tests of balance, equilibrium, or vestibular functioning, 24 percent gave the tests under certain conditions, and 18 percent gave no tests. The Romberg and finger-pointing tests were the most frequently used and were employed most often for screening purposes or to identify a problem area. Seventy-five percent of the AMEs indicated that specific tests should be routine; the test most frequently recommended was the Romberg.

AB - Four new localizer antenna arrays, utilizing traveling wave elements, have been developed for the FAA. These elements are directional and are free of the mutual coupling problems of former arrays. Additionally the elements in the arrays are fed through couplers which have a 50 ohm input and output impedance. All arrays are broad band and operate without any line cutting. An initial part of this effort was to study a large number of the congested airports and determine the theoretical patterns necessary to provide CAT I or CAT II performance. Additionally the arrays were to be modular, that is the smallest array could be expanded into the next bigger higher performance array and so forth to the very largest array. The smallest two arrays are single frequency arrays and the larger two are two-frequency capture-effect arrays. During the theoretical study phase, a computer program was developed to assist in analyzing the signal performance in the presence of reflecting surfaces. From this study, this handbook was developed to assist the engineer to make predictions with a minimum of mathematics as to what array to install to give the perforamnce desired or what array is needed to upgrade a present localizer array.

A computer program identifies, acquires, analyzes and predicts the information needed in order to plan, fly and verify boomless flight. It optimizes the cut-off Mach time-gain in trade-off along with other pertinent necessary considerations now being regularly carried out in the advanced air operations of today. For communication information in current real-time for boomless transcontinental flights, the investigation utilized nationwide networks: ARINC, UNINET. The program foresees the future conditions affecting the cut-off Mach flight performance in sufficient time for carrying out reliable preflight planning and for monitoring the in-flight modifications just ahead of the aircraft, utilizing the appropriate prediction of atmospheric conditions (boom-ahead computer).

Several difficulties were encountered in using ground conductivity data of high quality to construct a conductivity map of Alaska. They are: (a) The results showed that the ground conductivity in permafrost areas of North America is very heterogeneous, so that it is not directly apparent how to assign an effective conductivity value to a path of practical length (about 100 km); and, (b) The geological and permafrost conditions very much in Alaska, so that measurements at a location are representative of a small area only, leaving large areas of Alaska open to question.

AB - A previous MITRE Technical Report, Airport Surface Traffic Control Systems Deployment Analysis, FAA-RD-74-6, presented an analysis of ASTC (Airport Surface Traffic Control) system requirements and developed estimates of the deployment potential of proposed ASTC system alternatives for 19 air carrier airports. The primary requirement was determined to be improved surveillance which resulted in an estimated deployment of one of two surveillance systems at 16 airports by 1980. This report presents an expansion of that deployment analysis to include a total of 39 air carrier airports. The methods and assumptions for the deployment analysis of the 20 airports presented in this report are essentially the same as in the initial report. The overall result of the analysis is that by the initial deployment date (1976-1980) of the two alternative surveillance systems, the total potential market will be for 20-25 systems. By the end of the century, the total potential market for ASTC surveillance systems will exceed 30.

PY - 1975/03 SP - 109 p. AB - The Plan of 1975 is the sixth annual ten-year plan developed by the Federal Aviation Administration. It presents an integrated plan of action for meeting anticipated needs in the National Aviation System through 1985 and provides a focal point for industry/government cooperation in agency planning. Long range plans are made and policies formulated with respect to, the orderly development and use of the navigable airspace, and the orderly development and location of landing areas, Federal airways, radar installations and all other aids and facilities for air navigation, as will best meet the needs of, and serve the interest of civil aeronautics and national defense, except for those needs of military agencies which are peculiar to air warfare and primarily of military concern. The Plan summarizes system additions, improvements, and changes required to meet realistic needs of aviation for the next decade. It is oriented to serve several different groups including aviation users who pay user charges, airport sponsors who build and maintain airports, aviation manufacturers who are helping to construct the system, and FAA personnel who operate and maintain the system.

Formal MUT and MDT tests were performed in accordance with approved test plans. A major cause of concern has been the high replacement rate and limited availability of the type 247 subminiature lamps used in the projection readout indicators (PRI's). Detailed replacement studies of these lamp failures brought out that an average of two lamps per day per SMMC failed. Comparative life tests were performed between the type 247 and three alternative type lamps, types 6180, 714, and 685. Types 714 and 685 showed significantly greater mean lives but lower luminosities than the 247. Human factors studies are being planned to determine the suitability of using lamps of lower luminosity.

AB - This paper presents an analysis of aircraft towing at the top twenty air carrier airports in the United States. The study of towing aircraft analyzes the economic feasibility of two towing scenarios: towing arrivals and departures, towing departures only. The analysis has been conducted under assumptions which yield an upper bound (high estimates) of fuel savings and a lower bound (low estimates) of the costs involved. A number of operational factors which would reduce the fuel savings and further increase the cost of towing have been identified but not explicitly accounted for in the analysis. The environmental benefits (noise and pollution reduction) of aircraft towing have not been considered in this analysis. This analysis indicates that no towing scheme is economically feasible unless the price of fuel increases by at least 150% to 200% more (over 1974 prices) without any increase in crew costs. If, however, future conditions require that fuel be conserved at all costs, then towing schemes would yield a savings of 0.7% to 1.3% of the total air carrier fuel usage at an additional net annual cost of $21 million to $90 million.

AB - The report describes a statistical method for predicting interference between air traffic control frequency assignments in the VHF aeronautical mobile frequency band. This procedure results in a probability of interference representing the statistical chances of interference occurring between two air traffic control sectors operating on co-channel of adjacent channel frequency assignments. The model accounts for both the spatial distribution of the interfering aircraft as well as the statistical nature of voice communications. Two computer programs are described for computing probability of interference given the pertinent geometry of the victim and interfering sectors as well as their air/ground channel utilization figures. One of the computer programs uses Monte-Carlo methods to arrive at the answer while the other solves a deterministic set of equations to obtain an approximate solution at a considerable savings in computer execution time. The report also examines the problem of probability of interference given multiple interfering air traffic control sectors and concludes that for small victim sectors the source of interference is very likely to be one particular interfering sector. Large victim sectors, however, can experience nearly equal interference from more than one sector.

TI - DATA PROCESSOR SIZING FOR AN AERONAUTICAL SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS CENTER (ASCC) PY - 1975/02 SP - 96 p. AB - AEROSAT's data processing requirements will be met by special computer facilities called the Aeronautical Satellite Communications Centers (ASCC's). The ASCC computer will perform aircraft polling, communications channel switching, and message text processing among other functions. MITRE was tasked by FAA to provide assistance in estimating the size and cost of the data processing hardware and software that the U.S. ASCC will require. This report presents the results of that sizing analysis. The computer programs needed to perform the functional processing are described, and a software operational concept is hypothesized. From a baseline of similar systems and studies the individual computer program sizes are estimated. Computer speed, core and disk requirements are derived for 100-aircraft and 540-aircraft system loadings. Software and hardware costs are presented. The sensitivity of the results are tested by a computer program developed to model ASCC software operations.

The model is based upon an extensive statistical analysis of voice communications data gathered over the New York area during a busy 2-hour period. The structure of the simulation model is discussed along with the associated GPSS V program. The input parameters are outlined, and various master tables and equations are employed to capsulate the information provided by the earlier statistical analyses. Methods for validating the simulation model are described for particular sectors and sector functions. A new statistical testing procedure for comparing both simulated and historical time series traces is evoked. The responses of major interest are the aircraft loading, channel utilization, and communications queueing, the last of which can only be secured through simulation.

AB - The simulation study analyzed selected controller workload and system performance measures for two route configurations representing two time frames and various percentage mixes of area navigation (RNAV) and non-RNAV operations, referred to in this report as participation levels. Results indicated that controllers could use RNAV maneuvers in the control of traffic in lieu of radar vector techniques and that controller workload decreased as the RNAV participation level increased. Controller acceptance of RNAV principles and techniques in terminal ATC increased as familiarity and experience with the various RNAV functions were gained. Subjective results pointed out that in order that RNAV be an effective tool within the terminal air traffic system, adequate training and a thorough familiarization with RNAV procedures, capabilities, and limitations would be a requirement for both controllers and pilots.

AB - A liquid nitrogen fuel tank inerting system has been certificated and is in operation in the FAA DC-9 jet transport. This system reduces the fuel tank ullage space and vent system oxygen concentration to a non-combustible level by dilution with nitrogen which is stored aboard the airplane in a liquid state. The objective of this contractual effort was to investigate whether the new concept of on-board nitrogen generation by separating nitrogen from engine bleed air using ultrathin semi-permeable membranes will eliminate the requirement to carry liquid nitrogen in the airplane and thus reduce the logistics requirements of nitrogen inerting systems. The function of the inerting system is to reduce the oxygen concentration in the fuel tank vapor spaces and vent lines to a level below which combustion and thus explosion cannot occur, regardless of the presence of an ignition source.

Acceptable criteria have had reasonable use in determining capacity requirements for that portion of landside that comprises passenger terminal, cargo terminal, on-airport roadway systems, and automobile parking. Among factors that have contributed to unsatisfactory landside capacity conditions are (a) lack of appropriate business and economic factors; (b) failure to consider landside as a whole and to establish priority of use for available land; (c) unreliability of forecasting; (d) absence of economic justification and cost parameters that result in burdensome costs and do not correlate useful life and investment amortization; (e) escalation of "gamesmanship" and acrimony between airport managements and airline representatives; and (f) lack of nontechnical criteria sufficiently comprehensive to provide coverage of pertinent areas of consideration, including geographical location priorities, economic justifications, effective costing, reasonable forecasting, fixing of responsibilities, and management objectives. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airport planning KW - Airports KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Cost effectiveness KW - Criteria KW - Economic factors KW - Economics KW - Forecasting KW - Land use KW - Landside capacity KW - Location KW - Management KW - Strategic planning KW - Workshops UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37019 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131161 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Dovali, Frederick AU - Transportation Research Board TI - PLANNING, DESIGNING, AND CONSTRUCTING AIRPORTS IN MEXICO PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 68-71 AB - In the design and planning of airports, Mexico gives primary consideration to the maintenance and operating costs of the proposed facility. The airport is considered an assembly of systems, with the total capacity being not the sum of the individual capacities, but the capacity of that system that has the least capacity. The five systems of the airport, each of which affects capacity, are the air space, the taxiways and aeronautical portion of the apron, the terminal complex formed by the airside and landside of the apron, the access road, and the installation (facilities, mechanical installation, baggage delivery belts). It has been the goal in Mexico to coordinate these systems in such a manner that they can grow separately, depending on demand. So far this appears to be accomplishing Mexico's objectives in regard to meeting airside and landside capacity.

The technique employed utilized a chi-square analysis to evaluate a 9-year stall/spin history of 36 selected aircraft. The statistical analysis indicated that: accident rates are influenced by aircraft usage; accident rates are influenced by pilot experience; low-horsepower low-stallspeed aircraft have a higher propensity to stall/spin accidents; the highest incidence of stall/spin accidents was in the takeoff phase of flight; and with the exception of one aircraft type, the chi-square analysis did not identify specific aircraft designs or design categorizations which would have a higher propensity for stall/spin accidents, with all other factors (i.e., pilot experience, aircraft usage) constant.

A brief description of the airside and landside elements is presented, and the most important factors affecting the interaction between the elements are outlined. In addition, recent advancements in the state of the art in determining airside capacity and delays are summarized. The principal influences of the landside on airside activities and development are limited to the apron- gate area component of the airside and are capable of being accommodated without serious conflict with other airport developments. By comparison, the principal influences of the airside on landside activities stem primarily from the fixed-point servicing requirement of airline aircraft, which occurs on the apron-gate area component of the airside. The extent of these influences is largely dependent on the degree of separation of the 3 basic operational areas of the landside: the aircraft-passenger processing area, the passenger collection point, and the access interface area. At most airports, these 3 operational areas are contiguous, and the influence of the airside on the landside, therefore, is substantial. Finally, the requirement, desirability, and practicality of balancing the airside and landside in various ways are addressed. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport capacity KW - Airport operations KW - Airports KW - Airspace capacity KW - Aprons KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Improvements KW - Influence factors KW - Interaction KW - Intermodal terminals KW - Landside capacity KW - Level of service KW - Passengers KW - State of the art KW - Telephone influence factors KW - Terminal facilitation KW - Traffic delays KW - Workshops UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37025 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131173 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Negrette, Arthur J AU - Transportation Research Board TI - AIRPORT LANDSIDE AND OFF-AIRPORT INTERACTION PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 209-216 AB - Traditionally, airport planning efforts have been directed toward developing operational and economic efficiency within the airport landside and airside. Recently, these efforts have recognized the importance of maintaining equilibrium between the airside and the landside. This paper expands the scope of airport planning by focusing attention on off-airport activities that interact with the airport landside. The material presented assesses the relations between landside functions and off-airport activities. The activities relevant to the landside and off-airport interaction are identified, and the demand for and supply of off-airport activities are reviewed with emphasis on consumption and production. Findings and recommendations for alternative approaches for balancing the airport landside and off-airport capabilities are presented. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airport operations KW - Airport planning KW - Airports KW - Balancing KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Interaction KW - Landside capacity KW - Level of service KW - Planning KW - Workshops UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37026 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131177 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Klingen, Leonard G AU - Transportation Research Board TI - METHODS TO INCREASE LANDSIDE CAPACITY AT EXISTING AIRPORTS PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 249-255 AB - Significant increases in terminal use can be obtained by avoiding sharp peaks during certain hours of the day and by adopting various changes in operating procedure. Among the solutions mentioned are charging aircraft parking from parallel to nose in, using remote aircraft parking, using transporters, combining hold rooms, and automating ticketing and baggage handling. It should be recognized, however, that an airport fulfills a complex series of functions and what we cannot increase the capacity of one system without taking into account its effects on other subsystems farther along the line. Therefore, an accurate knowledge of a station's ability to handle present-day traffic at acceptable levels of service is a prerequisite for any successful expansion program. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Aircraft KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airport operations KW - Airports KW - Baggage KW - Baggage handling KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Expansion KW - Improvements KW - Increase KW - Landside capacity KW - Level of service KW - Methodology KW - Operations KW - Parking KW - Ticketing KW - Workshops UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37031 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131170 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Allen, W Bruce AU - Transportation Research Board TI - REGULATORY CONSTRAINTS AND IMPACTS ON AIRPORT LANDSIDE CAPACITY PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 174-188 AB - The regulatory authorities and their regulatory power are enumerated. The extent to which the regulatory powers directly or indirectly impact on airport landside capacity is then identified and investigated. The role of environmental legislation in an expansion or new airport context is shown to be quite important. Likewise, the lack of the control of the Civil Aeronautics Board over scheduling and equipment deployment is shown to be a major influence on airport landside capacity. Few of the impacts are shown to be direct. A host of indirect impacts of varying degrees of intensity exist. The paper suggests that a systems analysis of the benefits and costs of the regulations be undertaken. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airports KW - Benefits KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Constraints KW - Costs KW - Environment KW - Environmental legislation KW - Environmental policy act KW - Impacts KW - Landside capacity KW - Laws and legislation KW - National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 KW - Regulations KW - Regulatory constraints KW - Scheduling KW - Systems analysis KW - Workshops UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37023 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131171 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Paullin, Robert L AU - Transportation Research Board TI - INFLUENCE OF AIRSIDE AND OFF-AIRPORT FACTORS ON LANDSIDE CAPACITY PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 189-195 AB - This report identifies the objectives of Workshop 4, which are as follows: (1) identify all airside and off-airport factors that influence landside requirements; (2) determine the relative importance of such factors with respect to airport landside capacity and level-of-service objectives; and (3) recommend a research and development program that will promote coordination of airside, landside, and off-airport activities. Workshop 4 identified 13 airside factors and 5 off-airport factors that influence airport landside capacity. The research and development recommendations of Workshop 4 are oriented toward socioeconomic research and compilations of the state of the art. The airside and off-airport factors influencing capacity are broadly categorized as technical or nontechnical. The recommendations to relieve constraints on balancing and expanding airport landside capacity pertain to the nontechnical areas, such as the management of transport systems, their financing, and the review of their environmental impact.

Workshop 5 had as its primary focus the determination of availabe and potential technological, operation-procedural, and institutional-regulatory methods for providing additional landside capacity at existing airports in the U.S. The Workshop developed approximately 20 research and development statements elaborating on specific ares of consern within the landside where it was apparent that there was a void in existing documentation of the nature and extent of the problems, previous successes and failures in solving those problems, and methodologies, specific actions, events, or devices that might be used to overcome the identifiable capacity constraints at existing airport facilities. The Workshop dealt only with passenger-related facilities on the airport landside; no attempt was made to address landside problems associated with cargo, service, or other air-related public use facilities.

The basic premise is that many current problems at airports are due to the unfortunate tendency of airport planners to impose a single design concept on the entire terminal area. Centralized terminals are easier for transferring passengers, gate-arrival terminals are better for short-haul commuters, transporter designs are more economical for peaks of traffic, and so on. To determine the best design, we must examine the variations in the traffic. Since the major differences among the alternative design concepts lie in their ability to handle transfers and to deal with peaks of traffic, we should concentrate on determining the percentage of transfers and the variations in the level of traffic. Based on this point of view, the paper summarizes the major distinctions in airport traffic in the United States and around the world. The paper next examines the major questions concerning the fundamental nature of the terminal facilities at an airport. Should the facilities be centralized in a single major complex or decentralized into separate terminals or gates as with the gate-arrival concept. Should transporters be used almost exclusively, partially, or not at all. To what extent should the facilities be shared by different airlines? For each question, we develop a simple analytic model to explore the principal issues and trade-offs and to indicate the general circumstances for which each of the major alternative design concepts is most appropriate. The results of these analyses generally indicate which combinations of design concepts should be chosen for airports with different mixes of traffic. The results also suggest an analytical procedure we can use to determine in detail the kind of design that is preferable for a particular site. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport design KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airports KW - Alternatives analysis KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Design KW - Intermodal terminals KW - Landside capacity KW - Mathematical models KW - Models KW - Short haul KW - Structural design KW - Terminal design KW - Terminal facilitation KW - Workshops UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37030 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131169 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Kleinfeld, Ruth L AU - Transportation Research Board TI - LEGAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS ON AIRPORT LANDSIDE CAPACITY PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 156-173 AB - This paper focuses on environmental considerations and some ancillary institutional factors arising out of common law rights, major federal legislation, and state legislation. Until recently, landside capacity was not subject to significant environmental constraints. However, the probability of federal funding for heretofore ineligible landside components and the increasing sophistication of environmental analysis suggest that landside capacity will be constrained in the future by environmental considerations. Accordingly, this paper reviews the experience of airports under the environmental legislation for the years 1968 to 1974 as an indicator of the nature and dimensions of environmental constraints. In that period, projects or operations at more than 50 airports were delayed, halted, abandoned, or modified as a result of the federal environmental statutes. As an analytical tool, the paper presents a matrix of potential costs associated with the statutes, together with a summary of the limited data on actual costs incurred in that period, both as a result of the statutes and as independent or voluntary expenditures. Environmental processing and litigation under the National Environmental Policy Act have entailed significant delay to projects, which in turn resulted in substaintial cost increases, primarily associated with inflation. Although there is some room for improving the consideration of environmental factors, airport development has become an inherently more complex undertaking. Four phases of the environmental era are delineated, and issues relating to landside capacity are identified for further study. The information from these studies is needed to convert the constraining influence of environmental factors into opportunities for improved decision making. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airports KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Constraints KW - Costs KW - Decision making KW - Economic impacts KW - Economics KW - Environmental control KW - Environmental policy act KW - Federal aid KW - Landside capacity KW - Laws KW - Legal factors KW - Legislation KW - National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 KW - Planning KW - Workshops UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37021 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131164 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - McCabe, Lawrence AU - Carberry, Thomas AU - Transportation Research Board TI - SIMULATION METHODS FOR AIRPORT FACILITIES PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 112-122 AB - The most realistic method of quantitatively approaching airport landside traffic problems appears to be computer simulation of airport landside traffic flows. This paper describes how the simulation of the landside portion of an airport complex can be used to represent or model the airport landside system to accurately determine the flow and holding capacity and the associated delays of the airport landside. A review of existing computer simulation models indicates that the Bechtel and TAMS models are most suitable for this purpose. They can produce the required distributions of delay, queue lengths, and occupancies for the boundaries specified. The major adaptation that would appear necessary to complete the landside analysis capability would be including a model of the curbside as a server of finite capacity rater than representing the time spent at curbside as a dwell time.

Workshop 2 tried to evaluate the usefulness of various criteria to providing new or additional landside capacity. Participants viewed these problems as airport management tends to see them. The major conclusions of the workshop were that purely technical criteria have been overemphasized and that increased emphasis must be given to economic guidelines, particularly since reliable long-term air traffic forecasts do not exist. It was recommended that landside development costs should be developed for a range of possible forecast values so that planners and decision makers can weigh the alternate costs associated with each level of projected demand before making final dicisions. Such a practice would provide an indication of the cost of error in overestimating or underestimating and would help to ensure that the courses of least versus highest risk are given economic visibility.

Workshop 1 discussions led to the conclusion that many elements, including passengers, baggage, visitiors, employees, freight, and services, have a direct impact on airport landside capacity and levels of service and are in competition for space and services. However, the passenger is the most important of these elements, and all improvements should evolve around the passenger's needs for space and service. The following definition of capacity was suggested by the workshop participants: Capacity is the physical provision required for a given demand at a given at a specified level of service. The landside thus includes all the intra-airport access roads and ramps, internal distribution systems, parking facilities, curbside loading and unloading, terminal buildings, and that part of the apron around the plane used to service the passengers.

Workshop 3 identified 9 categories of items relating to airport landside constraints. These include sociopolitical, regulatory and institutional, physical characteristics, financial, operational, airport management, technical, economic, and environmental constraints. Participants differentiated between short- and long-term constraining influences as a device to assist with establishing priority recommendations for the research and development projects that are recommended. The attempts to assign priorities, however, were unsuccessful. Much of the discussion centered on subjects related to the creation of a social and political climate for stimulating development projects designed to increase landside capacity. Another major area of discussion concerned ways to level out the peaks and valleys of landside traffic. In reviewing their work at the conclusion of the conference, participants recognized that they had emphasized items that led to a lowering of demand for landside capacity through better use of existing facilities.

CONFERENCE SUMMARY PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 6-12 AB - This summary of the proceeding of the Conference on Airport Landside Capacity attempts to reflect as objectively as objectively as possible what each workshop considered or decided. Included also are positions taken in the general papers and the workshop resource paters. The views presented, therefore, are not necessarily those of the author or those of any one of the conference participants. On no issue was there a unanimous opinion, and on several issues there were strong minority views. The many points developed by the conference participants are here summarized and organized under 9 headings: definition of landside, capacity and the aviation system, capacity and level of service, peaking, multiple jurisdiction, balance, forecasting, financing, and federal aid. A final section comments on the conference research recommendations, which are included as the last chapter in this report.

Ever-increasing numbers of passengers and the continuing introduction of higher capacity aircraft have created bottlemecks and congestion throughout the landside environment at peak hours and have placed tremendous strains on terminal facilities. Comfort and convenience of passengers in the airport landside are directly related to the capacity and the levels of service provided. Although airport congestion is fully apparent to operators of major airports and to their users, the concepts of capacity and level of service as they relate to the landside have yet to be fully understood. The concept of level of service is particularly difficult to understand, for it relates to quality, and quality, by definition, is subjective. This paper first discusses briefly the background of air transportation development and its effect on the airport landside environment today and then describes the basic functions and facilities of the landside. It then defines capacity and level of service within the context of the airport landside and examines the problems connected with developing meaningful measures of level of service. Existing landside planning criteria that have evolved during the years are reviewed, and possible measures of capacity and level of service for landside facilities are outlined. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport capacity KW - Airport congestion KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airport planning KW - Airports KW - Capacity KW - Comfort KW - Conferences KW - Congestion KW - Convenience KW - Facilities KW - Functions KW - Functions (Mathematics) KW - Landside capacity KW - Level of service KW - Measurement KW - Passengers KW - Planning KW - Traffic congestion KW - Traffic delays KW - Workshops UR - http://onlinepubs.trb.org/Onlinepubs/sr/sr159/159-012.pdf UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37014 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131166 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Michael, Robert S AU - Transportation Research Board TI - AIRPORT LANDSIDE CAPACITY: ROLE OF MANAGEMENT PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 127-142 AB - This paper isolates and examines in some detail the role airport management should play in acquiring and maintaining adequate levels of airport landside capacity. Recognizing that technical standards are both pervasive and desirable, it postulates that, although certain technical standards exist for providing landside capacity increases, they should not be used without careful management supervision and judgment and may not be used at all. The paper proceeds to examine why a balance between airside and landside capacity is important and analyzes several specific managerial elements that should be brought to bear on each prospective capacity improvement. It shows the varying interrelations of the elements, discusses the importance of local managerial talent and judgment processes (particularly as they relate to weighting the management elements on a situational basis and the application of cost-effectiveness techniques), identifies the barriers that tend to inhibit greater managerial effectiveness, and examines the methods by which management inputs may be improved. Several areas of research are suggested. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport capacity KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airport operations KW - Airports KW - Airspace capacity KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Cost effectiveness KW - Effectiveness KW - Hydrographic surveying KW - Hydrographic surveys KW - Landside capacity KW - Level of service KW - Management KW - Measures of effectiveness KW - Research KW - Workshops UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37018 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131155 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Heathington, Kenneth W AU - Transportation Research Board TI - AIRPORT LANDSIDE CAPACITY. INTRODUCTION PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 1-2 AB - These introductory remarks to the reports and papers presented at the Conference on Airport Landside Capacity establish the purpose of the conference and the issues addressed. It is pointed out that the landside portion of airports may have as critical an impact on the level of service and capacity as the airside. This conference is seen as a first step in exploring the needed research and development in this vital area.

Although the principles and issues identified and analyzed are broad and have general applicability, this discussion will be stated in terms that are most relevant for U.S. airport development. In the United States, almost all carrier-served facilities are operated by public authorities of one sort or another, and no single airport operator controls any great proportion of total national airport capacity. The economic and financial issues to be considered relate to both the establishment of new airport landside facilities and the expansion or modification of the capacity of existing airport landside installations. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airport operations KW - Airports KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Decision making KW - Economic factors KW - Economics KW - Expansion KW - Finance KW - Financial management KW - Financing KW - Landside capacity UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37010 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131157 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Barnum, John W AU - Transportation Research Board TI - IMPORTANCE OF AIRPORT LANDSIDE CAPACITY PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - pp 13-16 AB - Airport terminals and roadway and parking systems have reached or are rapidly approaching critical stages or congestion. To alleviate this condition we need to quantify airport landside capacity, to produce some analytical tools for better planning, to identify areas in which engineering and research and development efforts can be applied to cope with the congestion problem, and to provide legislation for extending the Airport Development Aid Program, which will make federal funds available for construction or improvement of terminal facilities. These are the conclusions reached in this paper after examining the size and shape of the congestion problem. More specifically, it is suggested that we cultivate a more effective interface among the multijurisdictional agencies that influence the airport- urban relation, that we conceive of better ways to divert or absorb automobile traffic, and that we look more closely at airport activity forecasts in our efforts to achieve an effective balance between airside and landside capacity.

In some cases, adjacent development has prevented further expansion of passenger terminal facilities and contributed to the decision to build an additional airport to serve the same metropolitan area. This paper analyzes the airport landside functions and their relations and argues the need to assign priorities to each airport function in terms of access to the runway system. Lower priority uses should be assigned to remote areas of the airfield so that higher priority uses might expand into the vacated land close to the runways. Thus, land area is the fundamental factor in determining landside capacity. Where land is constrained, as in many metropolitan airports, effective expansion and more efficient use of the airport land area could be achieved through the use of remote and off-site land for certain functions that do not require access to the runway system. /Author/ U1 - Conference on Airport Landside CapacityTransportation Systems CenterFederal Aviation AdministrationU.S. Department of TransportationTampa,Florida,United States StartDate:19750428 EndDate:19750502 Sponsors:Transportation Systems Center, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation KW - Access KW - Accessibility KW - Airport landside capacity KW - Airport planning KW - Airport runways KW - Airports KW - Capacity KW - Conferences KW - Constraints KW - Economic efficiency KW - Efficiency KW - Functions KW - Functions (Mathematics) KW - Land use KW - Landside capacity KW - Level of service KW - Strategic planning UR - https://trid.trb.org/view/37008 ER - TY - CONF AN - 00131154 JO - Transportation Research Board Special Report PB - Transportation Research Board AU - Transportation Research Board TI - AIRPORT LANDSIDE CAPACITY PY - 1975 IS - 159 SP - p. 1-294 AB - Reports and papers presented at the Conference on Airport Landside Capacity are contained in this publication.

The three major goals of this improved system are performance improvements to handle a nearly doubling of air traffic, maintenance or improvement of safety, and the accomplishment of the first two goals in a way that constrains or reduces the costs, including capital costs, maintenance and operating costs and user costs. Guiding considerations in the present development of the UTGS are: protection of the environment: minimization of air pollution and noise; conservation of energy; maintenance of maximum freedom of flight for each user without compromising the safety of the other users of the air space; and rectifying the present situation whereby airline companies are paying the bulk of operating costs and general aviation is paying a much lower share. Several features of the UTGS which are described include the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS), the Microwave Landing System (MLS) and the Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) III. In conclusion it is pointed out that the UTGS by increasing airside capacity will necessitate engineering and development projects to improve to improve landside capacity in such a way as to match the increased airside capacity.

Seattle's Centrex system is backed by the latest electronic switching technology (the equipment is installed in a central office). Called ATS (Airport Telecommunications system), the new setup can provide on a single line, the same functions that formerly required a number of different services. The airport's tenants report a number of operations benefits. Not only has ATS improved operations but has also reduced costs for overall telephone services. Newark's "Real-Time" passenger information board consists of an electronic flap display system that causes all boards to act like a normal video character generator. The format of the character generator on the large board displays is composed of alphaunumeric or wide flap modules; changes in characters are accomplished by the adaptation of the pulse code modulation (PCM) integrated logic circuits for both transmitter and the receivers used throughout the system.

This work focused on the workload limitations of human controllers and the effects on controllers of various automation applications to National Airspace System (NAS) Stage A3d.2 ATC. Empirical measurements of routine, surveillance, and conflict processing activities were used to develop workload models of control-team operations. These models are extensions of the Relative Capacity Estimating Process (RECEP) previously developed by SRI. They were used to assess the potential benefits of enhancements including an electronic tabular flight data display. The workload models were incorporated into the SRI Air Traffic Flow (ATF) network simulation model to assess the potential benefits of a computerized facility-level traffic flow control method termed planning control.

AB - The report examines the role of radar in the Upgraded Third Generation ATC System relative to the surveillance requirement for various categories of controlled airspace. It concludes that the retention of ATC radars solely for weather data does not appear desirable in the long term and the possibility exists that development and deployment of radar systems specifically for the detection of weather may be required. Radar surveillance for ATC in the enroute environment may only be required at selected locations by the mid 1980's; therefore research and development efforts on enroute radars should be limited to that required to support the Operating Services in the correction of field problems. Radar surveillance for the terminal environment will be required at most locations on a continuing basis into the foreseeable future; therefore research and development of advanced terminal radar techniques and systems should be continued.

AB - A flight test investigation was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of an aerodynamic spoiler system installed on a Piper PA-30 airplane for deterring stall, and to determine its possibilities as a stall deterrent for other light twin-engine general aviation airplanes. Flight tests were conducted for the airplane without the spoiler installed, with the spoiler operated manually, and with the spoiler operated automatically. Test results were obtained different c.g. locations, flap positions, and engine thrust. Flight test maneuvers included approaches to stall from straight level flight, climbs, descents, turns, slips and skids with both engines operating and with simulated single engine operation. Tests also included takeoffs and landings. Test results are discussed.

AB - This report presents an analysis of an aircraft ground operation control measure designed to reduce air pollutant emissions. In a demonstration program conducted at the Atlanta Airport, turbine-powered air carrier aircraft taxied on one less engine than normal with the remaining engines at higher thrust settings. Observations made at the airport during the field test are used to estimate the total reduction in engine operating time and the equivalent reduction in emissions. The Argonne Airport Vicinity Air Pollution Model is used to calculate the improvement in air quality resulting from the test program. The model is a Gaussian-plume-type dispersion model that utilizes point, area, and line source formulations to simulate the complex airport system. Comparison is made with air quality data collected both before and during the modified taxi test for model validation.

AB - Physiological and biochemical measurements of stress in 14 Opa Locka Tower (OPF) controllers indicated that the principal stressor at that facility was the heavy volume of air traffic. Controllers responded to this stressor with a large increase in urinary output of catecholamines. A stress index, Cs, shows that OPF ranks second in stressfulness in the nine stress studies carried out at eight ATC facilities. Baseline values show that off-duty stress at OPF is low.

AB - The report provides a preliminary analysis of the investment costs which might result from a decision, legislative or regulatory, to implement a nationwide automatic collision avoidance system (CAS), either airborne or ground-based, but physically independent of manned ATC facilities. It estimates basic investment costs totalling $602M for an airborne CAS meeting the provisions of Senate Bill 1610 and $471M for a ground-based automatic collision avoidance system (DABS-IPC), excluding the highly variable costs for encoding altimeters which are required by both systems and excluding the costs of avionics already required for other reasons, such as ATCRBS transponders in certain airspaces. Some possible adjustments to these basic investment costs are considered and are shown to range from a plus $402M to a plus $474M for an airborne CAS and from a minus $211M to a plus $112M for the DABS-IPC system. The data and assumptions of this study are currently undergoing review and revision.

Included are descriptions of material and equipment requirements and recommended test methods. The procedures are applicable of both rigid and flexible airport pavement systems. Recent material developments and subsequent testing have demonstrated the structural integrity of MESL-type construction. It is believed that substantial savings can be realized using MESL's in airport pavements because of less strict material quality requirements and lower maintenance requirements due to the waterproofing protection provided by the MESL.

AB - The study updates the cumulative results of the previous 1964-71 study to include the 25/47 collisions/fatalities which occurred during 1972. Of these, two collisions involved air carrier aircraft and accounted for 23 fatalities. The remaining 23/24 collisions/fatalities occurred between general aviation aircraft, and did not involve public air transportation. Included is an analysis of the potential effectiveness of alternative collision avoidance systems coverage in 'preventing' a recurrence of the 296/603 collisions/fatalities between 1964-72. It concludes that 26% of the collisions (6% of fatalities) are systematically unpreventable. The currently existing/planned extensions to the Air Traffic Control system could have prevented 18% of the collisions (51% of fatalities), including all fatal collisions which involved air carriers.

AB - This report describes a study conducted to develop criteria for the design and construction of steel fibrous concrete airport pavements. Controlled, accelerated traffic tests and field tests conducted as a part of this study and similar tests conducted by other agencies are described and the results from these tests compiled. The results from all tests were analyzed and used in the formulation of criteria for designing steel fibrous concrete pavements and overlays. Recommended practices and procedures for batching, mixing, and placing fibrous concrete were formulated. Conclusions based on this study indicate that fibrous concrete pavements will perform better than plain concrete pavements, will result in thinner pavements, and can be produced and placed with conventional paving equipment and techniques.

VOLUME II. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES FOR CIVIL AIRPORTS PY - 1974/11 SP - 77 p. AB - The volume of this report recommends practices and procedures for design and construction of prestressed concrete pavements for civil airports. For the design procedure, the basic load-stress relationships were developed from small-scale model tests employing static loadings. Stresses computed from Westergaard's theory for elastic behavior were adjusted by moment correction factors to reflect the redistribution of moments resulting from partial hinges that develop under the load. Effects of repetitive moving loads were examined both in small-scale models and in full-scale prototype test pavements. The design procedure permits interrelating magnitude of loading, load repetitions, flexural strength, subgrade conditions, pavement thicknesses, slab dimensions, and magnitude of prestress. Consideration also is given to the effects of elastic shortening, creep, and shrinkage of concrete, relaxation in steel tendons, anchorage systems, tendon friction, subgrade restraint, and temperature changes. Construction procedures and alternatives are examined based on a study of prototype test pavements and operational prestressed facilities constructed in the US and abroad.

The holographic methods described are general holography, holographic interferometry by double exposure, live fringe and constant amplitude vibration, holographic contouring by the dual frequency, dual-source and dual-index methods. Moire methods of producing contours for topology and deformations are described which use the holographic contouring and grid projection techniques. Experimental techniques are given for each of these methods and the suitability of each for field use is evaluated in terms of key parameters.

AB - The necessity for an annual reporting of operations at each airport in the United States established the need for this report which defines a standardized procedure that can be utilized in estimating traffic at non-towered airports. The report identifies a method for estimating itinerant, total and local operations at any non-towered airport and presents the reasoning on which these procedures were derived. In addition, procedures for estimating peak traffic per day as well as per hour have been developed and are described. The estimating techniques enable the measurement of operation levels at individual airports according to the airport's own unique characteristics. An estimate of annual operations may be made with less than a manhour of effort; non-statistically oriented personnel can implement the estimating process and the method is not dependent on computer processing.

AB - The results are presented of a series of low-altitude (approximately 200 feet above ground level) fight tests in which the trailing vortices of the McDonnell-Douglas DC9 airplane were investigated, using a 140-foot instrumented tower. Data presented consists of plots of vortex tangential velocity distribution, peak velocity as a function of time, airplane configuration and windspeed, vortex descent rates, and lateral transport rates. Principal findings were that: (1) Within the time period 30 - 100 seconds after vortex generation, the peak velocities within the vortices were bounded by the function V sub theta = 396exp(-.0347t), with a half-life of 20 seconds; (2) Vortex cores were uniformly small (1 - 2 feet) in both configurations tested (takeoff and landing), and little or no growth with time was found; (3) Vortex lateral transport velocities correlated well with the crosswind measured at 140 feet; and (4) The presence of a temperature inversion markedly retarded the vortex descent rates. The highest peak recorded tangential velocity was 120 - 130 feet per second, found to occur in both configurations tested.

AB - An analysis was made of the relative accuracy of the digitized radar target symbol position versus the primary radar target. Radar track of one aircraft on radial courses was photographed as displayed in both primary and beacon radar modes, and also as processed through the DAIR system. Quantitative results were statistically analyzed to determine differences between primary radar position and displayed position, and to determine the distribution of the center of the displayed DAIR radar target position about the center of the primary radar target position. Results indicated that the DAIR system tended to display the DAIR center mark at a closer range and at a smaller azimuth angle than the center of the primary radar signal. The altitude of the aircraft did not appear to have any consistent effect on these measurements; however, the range of the aircraft did indicate a tendency to affect the measurements.

AB - In order to evaluate the effects of ATCRBS interference on the design of a Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS) sensor, a simulation program was developed. A detailed model of the sensor is presented that takes into account many of the antenna pattern and signal processing design parameters. A model for the fruit generator is developed so that reply processor performance in typical 1980 high density fruit environments can be evaluated. A particular reply processing algorithm is adopted as a baseline to decode DABS messages and produce a data edited azimuth estimate, so that the design methodology can be illustrated. Statistics characterizing the reliability of the processor are computed as a function of fruit rate and signalling conditions. The simulation is an invaluable tool for performing sensor/reply processor tradeoff studies.

AB - A theoretical analysis and computer simulation were undertaken to develop a DABS/ATCRBS scheduling algorithm which would be capable of servicing the projected 1995 Los Angeles Basin (1608 aircraft aloft). A satisfactory technique was found using sub-epoch timing, partitioning between packed and synchro calls, and time-sharing (a separate interval for each site's synchro calla). The technique also provides garble-free Synchro DABS (air-to-air CAS) service in the multi-site DABS/ATCRBS environment. Time is provided during the packed call interval for extended length messages and target reinterrogation.

VOLUME I PY - 1974/09 SP - 85 p. AB - Calculation procedures to describe airplane noise during takeoff and approach have been programmed for batch operation on a large digital computer. Three routines are included. The first normalizes far-field noise spectra to reference conditions and then determines spectra at various distances from the airplane, for airport elevations between sea level and 6000 feet and ambient temperatures between 30F and 100F. Overall sound pressure levels, A-weighted noise levels, perceived noise levels, and effective perceived noise levels are calculated. The second routine uses aerodynamic and engine thrust data to produce takeoff and approach flight path description. The basic takeoff is at equivalent airspeed, with thrust reduction or acceleration option after gear-up. The approach is along any constant glide slope between 3 and 6 degrees at constant airspeed, with a two-segment option. The last routine combines noise propagation and flight path information to produce constant noise contour footprints. The program has been exercised on Lockheed L-1011-1 Tristar/Rolls-Royce RB.211-22 data, providing results in EPNdB and dBA.

PY - 1974/08/02 SP - 69 p. AB - An international Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the JOINT AEROSAT EVALUATION PROGRAM was signed by the FAA Administrator on May 9, 1974 and by the Acting Director-General of ESRO and the Canadian Ambassador to France on August 2, 1974. The MOU package includes the MOU document (18 pp.), related exchange of correspondence (4 pp.), and two integral Annexes (38 and 7 pp. each). The MOU consists of 18 articles which: define objectives and organization of major elements of the program; specify financing policies, satellite deployment, utilization of AEROSAT capability, exchange of test results, and rationale for broadening participation by other Sovereign States; and provide for MOU termination, MOU amendment, procedures for handling disputes and exemption from taxes and customs duties. The exchange of correspondence between FAA and ESRO is concerned with the meaning and scope of the MOU.

VOLUME I. IDENTIFICATION OF COMPONENT NOISE SOURCES PY - 1974/08 SP - 119 p. AB - The various noise sources constituting the core engine noise for turbofan engines were identified and rank ordered. An investigation was made to ascertain the generating mechanisms, controlling variables, means of identification, and the effect on engine design if reduction were required for each of eight core engine noise sources. The relative significance of the various noise sources was evaluated by predicting the noise contribution of the individual components by the methods derived during the course of the Core Engine Noise Control Program. The predictions were made for each of the three hypothetical cycles for bypass ratios of 4, 7, and 14, respectively, which were formulated to encompass a range of commercial aircraft powerplants.

Model, component, and engine tests were used to substantiate the results of the analysis and to determine the basic noise generating parameters. The results were cast in a general form so as to be applicable to a wide variety of cycles, including future technology turbofan engines. Several suppression concepts were identified through analysis and through logical extension of experience with earlier programs on on high velocity jet noise and fan/compressor noise research. The suppression concepts were validated through model and component tests and through evaluation of available engine data.

PHASE II. ANALYSIS OF FLYOVER-NOISE DATA FOR THE DC-8-61 AIRCRAFT PY - 1974/08 SP - 172 p. AB - Phase 2 of the 'Aircraft Noise Definition' program consisted of a DC-8-61 flight test program with an objective to improve the statistical accuracy of the noise data reported in Phase 1 of the program and to broaden the data to include measurements at long distances and at a thrust required for a steep approach. Noise measurements were made during flyovers up to an altitude of 8000 feet, at sideline distances up to 8000 feet and at target thrusts of 15,000, 10,000, 5000, 3200, and 2000 pounds. This document reports the data acquisitions, the analysis procedure, and the results in terms of variations in reference-day EPNL and A-weighted sound level with slant range; overhead to sideline noise level relationship; and data showing lateral noise attenuations.

PHASE 4 PY - 1974/08 SP - 124 p. AB - Pilotage error resulting from a simplified three-dimensional area navigation procedure was measured during 32 hooded instrument flights in a Beechcraft Twin Bonanza. These empirical observations were compared statistically both with corresponding values of pilotage error previously reported in a study using Standard Procedures (Report FAA-RD-72-126) and with corresponding values previously assumed in FAA AC 90-45 and RTCA DO-152. Other experimental variables were pilot experience level and vertical display type. The major task variable was angle of climb or descent. Pilot performance measures were vertical and horizontal steering, airspeed control, and procedural errors.

AB - The merits of using a large gradient antenna in the ground station of a conventional VOR system are theoretically investigated. A theory has been developed for the course amplitude scalloping errors in the bearing indications of a conventional VOR system. The theory takes into account the vertical plane pattern of the transmitting antenna and the scattering properties of the multipath sources. The vertical plane patterns of conventional VOR and large gradient antennas located above ground are studied in detail. Observed scalloping amplitudes for antennas located at variable height and with isolated isotropic multipath sources located at various distances from the antennas and at variable height above ground are calculated and compared with each other. It has been found that in certain difficult siting conditions the large gradient antennas reduce considerably the scalloping errors. Extensive curves are plotted so that problems associated with siting problems in conventional VOR may be studied.

AB - A real time Shipboard Oil-In-Water Content Monitor using direct in situ measurements and electro-optical processing has been proven feasible. The concept uses spatial filtering of small angle forward scattering laser light allowing discrimination of oil particles only. The breadboard model used in this study has indicated that accuracies in the 0 to 100 ppm oil range on the order of plus or minus 10% or better can be expected for many oil types ranging from unrefined crudes to refined lubricating oils and hydraulic oil as well as mixtures of these oils. The interference of gas bubbles and solid particulates is eliminated for the most part by optically spatial filtering the diffraction pattern and centrifuging the sample stream. A test program involving studies of oil types, oil mixtures, oil concentrations, salinity, solids, air, mixtures of air and solids, and effects of detergent is described in this report along with graphical and tabular presentations of all data. Major problem areas disclosed by this study are described in detail and involve mostly sampling and sample handling techniques rather than detector-performance characteristics. Conclusions and recommendations are also included, indicating areas for continued study and development.

AB - Tests of two late model jet transports, a Lockheed L-1011 and a Boeing 737 ADV., were conducted at Roswell, N.M. during the period of October 12-26, 1973, for the purpose of evaluating the Concorde SST Special Condition Landing Requirement. Flight path angle during approach landing weight, approach speed, sink rate at touchdown were all varied. Landings were made on both a wet and dry surface and up to five ground friction measurement vehicles were evaluated along with the aircraft. The landing requirement was shown to be feasible. Two minor changes to the requirement, both relaxatory, are indicated. One, change the reference approach flight path angle from 2.5 degrees to 3 degrees and two, revise the touchdown rate-of-sink requirement from a 3 ft./sec. maximum to a 3 ft./sec. mean with the maximum test data point not to exceed 5 ft/sec. The procedure for relating aircraft effective braking friction coefficient to the aircraft and the Diagonal-braked vehicle wet-to-dry stopping distance ratio (SDR) is shown to be adequate to establish Flight Manual data.

AB - Taxiing noise measurements were performed at Atlanta Airport from December 10 to December 19, 1973. The measurement series included passby noise measurements of taxiing planes and ambient noise samples from the terminal roof and inside the terminal building. The primary purpose of these measurements was to determine whether changes in noise level result from shutting off some engines during taxiing for fuel conservation and air pollution reduction. After analysis of the noise data from this test series it was concluded that although the noise levels of individual planes on the taxiways were reduced by engine shutoff, the noise environment of the air terminal building was unaffected, because of the large distances from taxiways involved.

AB - A graphic simulation study of the Atlanta air traffic control terminal area was requested by the Southern Region to assist in developing a feasible plan for airspace use and air traffic control operations in the Atlanta metropolitan area, assuming the establishment of a second major airport. The second major airport was assumed to be located in the Paulding/Polk County area of Georgia, approximately 15 nautical miles west of Dobbins Air Force Base/Naval Air Station Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia. The study considered instrument operations to all instrument flight rule airports within the Atlanta terminal area. The primary runway configuration considered at the new airport was a northwest/southeast alignment of four parallel runways with two additional parallel north/south runways. The present major airport, William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, was considered to have four parallel east/west runways. Three other runway alignments for the new airport, a west/northwest and southwest were also studied.

AB - This two volume report contains the results of one portion of a comprehensive analysis of the benefits to be derived by both the airspace users and the ATC system operators (FAA) through the implementation of Area Navigation (RNAV). Volume one discusses the effort as configured to be responsive to the basic question raised by the FAA/Industry RNAV Task Force and others, namely, 'What Payoffs can be Expected if RNAV is Phased into the National Airspace System.' To this end, the findings and recommendations of the Task Force have been used as the basic (but not necessarily constraining) guidelines of the study for the purpose of defining the near term and long term navigation and ATC environments.

AB - The document was prepared to develop a specific waypoint designator format and to provide recommended waypoint location and identification standards. The primary objective of this program was to evaluate the impact of the Task Force concepts on waypoint designation techniques and standards. The satisfaction of this objective was accomplished by thoroughly investigating the alternative techniques for waypoint identification and communication for both charted and impromptu operations. It was necessary to review, analyze and evaluate fourteen proposed waypoint designation techniques in the course of this investigation. The ultimate choice of a waypoint designator had to include provisions for three phases of RNAV implementation with a varying mix of charted and preplanned direct routes. Second, the waypoint designator format had to be compatible with a wide range of airborne area navigation equipment, as well as, with pilot/controller communication practices . Finally, the waypoint designator technique has to accommodate diverse user applications covering the spectrum of general aviation, business and airline applications.

VOLUME 1 PY - 1974/07 SP - 159 p. AB - The study investigates implications of a projected growth of commercial air transport demand in the Chicago area for operations at the region's airports. About 95% of commercial air passenger and flight movements in Chicago currently take place at O'Hare International Airport. Serious airport runway and ground access congestion problems are likely to result if this degree of concentration of commercial traffic continues into the mid-1980's. This study considers the increased airport system capacity which could result if a significant portion of the growth of commercial air transport activity were to take place at Chicago Midway Airport in the late 1970's and mid-1980's.

VOLUME I. CLASSIFICATION OF MULTIPATH, EFFECTS OF MULTIPATH ON SYSTEMS, AND CAUSES OF MULTIPATH PY - 1974/07 SP - 300 p. AB - The handbook has collected theories and techniques which have one or more of the following qualities: It has been in frequent use by engineers; it has been shown to be accurate; it can be applied to a wide variety of problems; it offers an easily obtainable upper or lower bound. Most of the problems arising because of multipath cannot be solved or described precisely, but instead involve assumptions or approximations, the effects of which cannot be quantified. The responsibility for the decision on which approximation or assumption to use for a particular problem is with the reader. Since the handbook is directed toward air traffic control (ATC) frequencies, most of the material presented is oriented toward frequencies above VHF, and toward line-of-sight paths. Two special sections, one on Omega and one on Loran are included. No information on HF propagation or ionospheric scatter is included. Finally, selection of the material in this handbook has been heavily influenced by the systems presently used by the FAA.

AB - The report examines the financial posture of approximately 55 airports which adopted head taxes in 1973, and evaluates the impact of the tax on airport operations and development programs. Results of the analysis indicate that only the largest airports surveyed--those with annual passenger enplanements exceeding 275,000--were typically able to meet their operating expenses and debt payments with self-generated funds. Most NonHub facilities surveyed (passenger enplanements less than 97,000 per year) required some form of subsidy just to meet operating expenses. Considering the financial requirement of air carrier airports, the revenue potential of the passenger head tax and the small impact of the tax on air travel demanded, this report finds no significant financial argument for maintaining the prohibition of head taxes.

AB - Systems with potential for predicting SVR/ALCH were tested at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC), Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation, Atlantic City, New Jersey. These systems' estimation of the slant path transmittance were compared to data being generated by NBS transmissometers located at several levels on nearby 160-foot towers. The transmittance values predicted by the systems being evaluated were used to compute RVR and SVR data. The results of these computations were compared to the actual RVR-SVR calculated based upon NBS transmissometer measurement. The report contains data on the stratification of the fogs observed at NAFEC during the test duration. Pilot eye response is considered with emphasis on techniques of determining the pilot's adaptational level. The pilot's adaptation level calculation is combined with (1) the extinction rate measurements, (2) pilot's eye response and (3) the geometry of the scenario in order to form ALCH and SVR algorithms.

The modified system was evaluated to determine the extent of performance improvements realized and to assess its applicability to all airport surveillance radars. System tests indicated the modification had no deleterious effect on the normal, low-beam coverage, and provided an improvement in signal-to-clutter ratio when small aircraft were competing with various forms of clutter. It was recommended that a passive horn modification providing dual-beam capability for all airport surveillance radars be considered for field implementation.

The influence of the aircraft on the biological-ecological factors of man's environment are outlined, and its influence on the technological factors is reviewed. The aircrafts' efficiency as a people-mover, pollution spotter, and bulk hauler and the spin-off benefits of aviation research are noted. Economic aspects such as aircraft productivity, and how the aircraft interacts with the daily life of people are also discussed. Social-cultural benefits are discussed although such benefits are difficult to measure.

AB - The results of analytical study and real time cockpit simulation of three and four dimensional airborne area navigation concepts for increasing aviation system capacity in the terminal area are presented in this report. Varying degrees of ATC capability, approach and landing aids, and airborne system capability are addressed. Analytical results present the airborne/ATC equipment accuracies necessary to support varying degrees of control precision. Results from the real time cockpit simulation indicate the degree of ATC/pilot and pilot/airborne equipment interaction necessary to obtain the time delivery precision predicted by the analytical results. All the airborne concepts rely on a high level ATC metering and spacing system. As a result airborne system complexity for each user type is held to a minimum and simultaneous ATC control of aircraft with mixed equipment capabilities can be accomplished.

AB - The Texas Instruments Microwave Landing System (TI MLS) proposal was modeled in a 1980 high density environment. Its channel scheme and signal format were analyzed with the aid of a computer program to determine its adequacy in such a high density environment. Three other MLS proposals (ITT Gilfillan, Hazeltine, Bendix) were also examined. A comparison was made between the technical parameters of each and the parameters recommended by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics Special Committee-117 (RTCA SC-117) to determine if the results of a previous analysis of the SC-117 MLS format could be applied to any of the three proposals.

AB - The purpose of the traffic sample model was to develop a standard to test future air traffic systems and equipment. A model was constructed of a three-dimensional aircraft movement operating in the Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center's (ARTCC) area. The model contained Instrument Flight Rule flight operational data which occurred on March 14, 1973, under the control of the Los Angeles ARTCC during a three-hour period. An air traffic model was developed consisting of 619 operations generated by 512 aircraft flights. This model is representative of the operations of a high-density domestic center. Also included are data analyses of the operation of airports and aircraft in the model. (Modified author abstract) Portions of this document are not fully legible.

AB - The characteristics of the trailing vortex system of the Boeing 747 airplane have been investigated by the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC), Atlantic City, N. J., during a series of flight tests conducted in September and October 1972. This investigation is part of a long-term program, started in February 1970 with flight tests conducted by NAFEC at the Atomic Energy Commission site at Idaho Falls, Idaho, devoted to the study of the overall wake turbulence problem. The present tests were conducted using improved flow measurement and meteorological instrumentation, permitting greater resolution than had been possible in earlier testing. Principal findings were that the peak tangential velocity decays as the reciprocal of the square root of the time elapsed since vortex generation; that the peak velocity is unaffected by the throttling back of the adjacent outboard engine; and that the lateral transport velocities correlate quite well with theory.

AB - The study is concerned with prediction of the long-term deformation of a compacted cohesive soil embankment over a soft foundation. The prediction of embankment performance was made using the finite element method of analysis incorporating a nonlinear viscoelastic model of the fill behavior and a quasielastic representation of the foundation. A full-scale test embankment was constructed and instrumented to permit evaluation of the predictive approach. Samples of subsurface and the embankment material were tested in the laboratory to determine numerical values of desired material parameters. The performance of the test embankment was monitored both during and after its construction.

AB - Techniques were developed and applied in making trade-off evaluations of the overall synchronization effectiveness of various levels of airborne vs ground-based hierarchal time relaying equippage. It is shown that the number of ground-based master stations required to supply a desired level of synchronization coverage to all aircraft (hierarchal and non-hierarchal), increases rapidly as the number of hierarchal aircraft is diminished. Trade-off studies were made of the master station site selection algorithms. It was shown that the priority algorithm is very near optimum. However, choices of alternate sets of sites (such as air traffic hubs) can be used to obtain operational or economic advantages with only slight reduction in overall effectiveness. Analytic and computational processes developed in Phases I and II were extended to evaluate the effects of atypical operations: master station outages, reduction in hierarchal support due to airline outage and weather. In all cases, hierarchal interconnection provided a high degree of redundancy and the overall system exhibited little loss in effectiveness under abnormal conditions. NTSB records of aircraft collisions indicated that a high level of coverage could be supplied by five master stations complemented by larger aircarrier equipped with hierarchal equipment.

AB - Three soil classification systems used in the paving profession were evaluated to determine the applicability of each for airport pavement design. The three methods studied were the AASHO, FAA and Unified systems. It is shown that the FAA system for fine grained soils is largely dependent upon the liquid limit, whereas the classification by the other methods depends upon both the liquid limit and the plasticity index. It is demonstrated that the plasticity index is a good predictor of several properties and, hence, the FAA system is somewhat limited in that regard. A sensitivity analysis was made on the ability of each of the systems to predict various soil properties. The FAA system was found to be relatively more insensitive than the other systems. A statistical analysis was made of several soil areas. It is demonstrated that the Unified system is relatively more sensitive in predicting soil behavior than the AASHO and FAA systems.

The Phase 2 nacelle, however, differs from the Phase 1 nacelle in that a plug nozzle replaces the conventional conical nozzle. Both configurations retain the standard 707 primary thrust reverser. Boeing funded model and full scale ground tests were performed to provide insight and technical background relating to acoustic and propulsion performance of plug nozzles. The information thus obtained was used in the design of the full scale hardware. Full scale engine ground tests were performed on two configuration of the Phase 2 upper goal quiet nacelle to determine its acoustic and propulsion performance and to permit comparison with the performance of the Phase 1 nacelle.

VOLUME I. WAKE VORTEX PREDICTIVE SYSTEM STUDY PY - 1974/04 SP - 249 p. AB - A unifying wake vortex transport model is developed and applied to a wake vortex predictive system concept. The fundamentals of vortex motion underlying the predictive model are discussed including vortex decay, bursting and instability phenomena. A parametric and sensitivity analysis is presented to establish baseline uncertainties in the algorithm to allow meaningful comparison of predicted and measured vortex tracks. A detailed comparison of predicted vortex tracks with photographic and groundwind vortex data is presented. Excellent agreement between prediction and measurement is shown to exist when sufficient wind data are available. Application of the Pasquill class criteria is shown to be an effective technique to describe the wind profile in the absence of detailed wind data. The effects of wind shear and the Ekman spiral on vortex transport are discussed. It is shown that the combination of wind shear and ground plane may be possible mechanisms underlying vortex tilting and a theoretical explanation is advanced that is somewhat supported by comparison with the experimental data. Finally, recommendations for further vortex data collection in the vicinity of an airport are presented.

AB - The Advanced Air Traffic Management System (AATMS) study was initiated by the Department of Transportation in an effort to evaluate various air traffic control concepts in the 1995 era. The purpose was to aid in the long-range planning of engineering and development, and to identify areas that appear the most promising for early initiation. The system proposed in this study to handle the traffic and provide the services required in 1995 is composed of extensions of the each wheel.

AB - An interservice ad hoc Dual Lane Runway (DLRW) Committee was established in January 1971 to develop, evaluate and demonstrate dual lane runway design criteria, modes of operation and site selection criteria. In support of this effort, data was collected on dual lane runway operations at Cleveland Hopkins, Boston Logan, Los Angeles International, and Atlanta Hartsfield International Airports. The Lincoln Laboratory of MIT was employed to conduct real time (man-in-the-loop) and fast time (canned program) computer simulations of dual lane runway configurations and operation strategies. The bulk of their work dealt with using one runway for arrivals only and one runway for departures only. The dual lane analysis was extended by the Airport Design Branch of the Systems Research and Development Service (SRDS) to include modes of operation where both runways were used for arrivals and one or more runways for departures. A model predicting potential missed approaches was used for this effort.

Volume III: Satellite-to-Aircraft Techniques PY - 1974/02/19/Project Report SP - 117p AB - A number of satellite system techniques have been suggested as candidates to provide air traffic control (ATC) surveillance, communication, and/or navigation service over the Continental United States (CONUS). All techniques determine the aircraft positions by multilateration based on the arrival times of signals transmitted between the aircraft and the satellites. The techniques can be categorized as follows: (1) Coordinated Aircraft-to-Satellite Techniques (CAST), (2) Random Access Aircraft-to-Satellite Techniques (RAST), (3) Satellite-to-Aircraft Techniques (SAT). This three-volume report is a technical assessment of all three techniques. The present volume examines satellite-to-aircraft techniques (SAT). The remaining two volumes treat CAST and RAST. The assessment has shown that workable systems could be configured using any one of the three techniques without reliance on high risk technology. No one technique has emerged as superior. Rather several viable alternatives have been identified. All techniques appear to require more costly avionics than today's ground-based system.

AB - The impact of ten proposed signal formats of the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS) on the performance of TACAN/DME equipments was investigated. The susceptibility of the individual TACAN/DME equipments to interference was then used to assess the interference impact of a hypothetical DABS environment on the operation of TACAN/DME systems. Worst case characterizations were used in some respects. A set of frequency-distance separations was developed that would prevent DABS interference to the TACAN interrogator, and limit the generation of deadtime in the TACAN beacon.

AB - This study which analyzes the impact of FAA programs on airport capacity over the next ten years, is reported in two volumes: The first volume forms a summary of the findings of the study; the second volume presents the detailed examinations of each of the selected airports. Eight major airports (Atlanta, Chicago O'Hare, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New York Kennedy, Philadelphia, and San Francisco) were examined in detail. VFR capacities will increase about 25% over today, and IFR about 50%. A major requirement will be the metering and spacing and wake vortex avoidance systems programs. With these systems in place, IFR capacity will rise from its present level of 75% of VFR capacity to about 90%, thus increasing the ability to maintain sustained all-weather operations. If these improvements are achieved, no airport surveyed will in the long term (1979-1982)) experience peak hour VFR saturation, and only one airport is projected to experience peak hour IFR satuation. The airside capacity of these airports can be extended, within the present E&D and F&E framework, to meet projected demand for the mid to late 1980's. Under current and proposed plans, most of the surveyed airports will have exceeded their landside capacity before these air traffic levels are reached. The problems are primarily physical access/egress/parking limitations. These will require new access concepts and possibly new major airports which should be planned for now.

AB - This research seeks to define and estimate the frequency of aircraft interactions (called conflicts) which entail controller intervention. The task of conflict detection is viewed as a stimulus-response process in which the strength of stimulation is a particular closest-approach separation between aircraft, and the corresponding probability of response is the fraction of times controllers judge that separation to be a potential violation of the 5 nautical mile minimum separation standard. Data from human-factors studies of air traffic control are used to estimate response probabilities for a wide range of closest-approach separations. Two empirical models are derived for estimating the number of conflicts.

AB - This report presents the results of an analytical study of the merits and mechanization requirements of horizontal collision avoidance systems (CAS). The horizontal and combined horizontal/vertical maneuvers which provide adequate miss distance with minimum initial range, minimum deviation off track, and acceptable turn rates are found. Horizontal maneuvers are compared with vertical maneuvers and speed control for collision avoidance in terms of initial range requirements, deviation off track and flight path time loss. Requirements for implementing an airborne horizontal CAS are outlined. Digital filtering is analyzed for estimating airspeed and relative heading from noisy range and bearing measurements between aircraft. An algorithm (suitable for airborne mechanization) is developed for computing appropriate collision avoidance maneuvers. The effects of dynamic and measurement errors on the CAS's ability to provide safe miss distance are examined.

AB - A method of using the NAS Enroute Stage A equipment to assure enroute navigation facility alignment is described. Frequent and continued updating of the alignment is accomplished by this technique without the use of special aircraft or flights, distraction or conscious participation by pilots, or increase in controller workload. The technique uses a computer to determine the intent of an aircraft to navigate a specific airway and to analyze the distribution of a large number of aircraft as they traverse that airway. If the sample is large enough, the airborne receiver errors will average to zero, and, except for a few cases of habitual diversion, the flight technical error (pilotage) also averages to zero. The final data shows consistency within a few tenths of a degree from one ten day interval to the next.

AB - Thirty six students and 54 commercial airline pilots were tested in the fog chamber to determine the effect of runway edge and centerline light intensity and spacing, fog density, ambient luminance level, and lateral and vertical offset distance of the subject from the runway's centerline upon horizontal visual range. These data were obtained to evaluate the adequacy of a balanced lighting system to provide maximum visual range in fog viewing both centerline and runway edge lights. The daytime system was compared against two other candidate lighting systems; the nighttime system was compared against other candidate lighting systems. The second objective was to determine if visual range is affected by lights between the subject and the farthestmost light visible through the fog. The third objective was to determine if college student subjects differ from commercial airline pilots in their horizontal visual range through fog. Two studies were conducted.

The noise picked up by the microphones is transmitted by telephone lines to a computer which is readout through a teletypewriter. State regulations require that both a Community Noise Exposure Level (CNEL) reading and a Single Event Noise Level reading be taken for airports known to have problems. The computer provides Average Noise Level printouts which list the hourly and 24-hour CNEL. This represents the sum total aircraft noise on a 24-hour basis as called for by the formulas in the State standards. The State formula rates the volume of operations by the time of day they occur. The State law specifies the allowable CNEL. This monitoring system will be used in a program of incentives to accelerate the use of quiet aircraft serving Los Angeles International Airport.

PY - 1973/10 VL - 14 IS - 10 SP - p. 61-65 AB - This article which focusses on forecasts of passengers and related operations for air carriers (certificated, intra-state, third-level, and supplemental carriers) refers to the lack of user input to the FAA Circulars, comments on macro forecasts, traffic growth rates, and aircraft movements. It is noted that the Air Transportation Association (ATA) forecast covers rates and volumes annually through the year 2000 and is the result of a comprehensive update. This forecast can be used to compare individual airport growth rates and changes in share of U.S. traffic. It is pointed out that identifying and substantiating local variations is an important step toward minimizing disagreements over forecasts and minimizing the chance of error due to straight linear extrapolations of growth. ATA forecasts provide detail on 2 key elements affecting aircraft movement; aircraft size and load factor. Problems associated with the relationship between daily and peak hour aircraft movements are discussed, and a checklist is provided for testing the credibility of forecasts of aircraft passengers and aircraft operations.

PHASE I PY - 1973/10 SP - 182 p. AB - The study analyzes two collision avoidance systems (CAS) using RCA SECANT techniques: VECAS designed for high performance aircraft and VECAS-GA designed for low performance aircraft. Both CAS are still undergoing refinement; therefore, the results reported here apply only to the specific versions studied. The two CAS use the Air Transport Association (ATA) collision avoidance logic and were evaluated in the 1971 FAA projection of traffic (800 aircraft) in 1982 in the Los Angeles basin. No attempt was made to evaluate the operational suitability of the ATA logic in the projected traffic. The CAS are asynchronous and employ beacon interrogator/transponder techniques, which introduce mutual interference. In the analysis a thrid equipment, the SECANT Proximity Warning Indicator (PWI), was modeled but not analyzed to determine levels of interference. In the analysis the equipment mix was assumed to be 7 percent VECAS, 21 percent VECAS-GA, and 72 percent PWI in the most dense region below 10,000 ft altitude.

PHASE I PY - 1973/10 SP - 65 p. AB - The study analyzes the Collision Avoidance System (CAS) development by McDonnell Douglas. The McDonnell Douglas CAS uses the time frequency technique which was adopted in the ATA (ARINC) characteristic No. 587-2 (9/21/71). The primary purpose of the study was to ascertain the capability of the CAS to operate in a dense air traffic environment such as that expected in the Los Angeles basin (LAX) in 1982. Of particular concern in the analysis were problems associated with airborne equipment synchronization and multiple slot occupancy and their effect on reducing system capacity. In addition an analysis of the tau alarm accuracy was performed. The McDonnell Douglas CAS is a time frequency multiplex system in which each CAS-equipped aircraft attempts to select a mutually exclusive time slot in which to operate.

The construction innovations implemented at DFW are briefly discussed, the special features of the central utility plant are described, and the ground transportation and planning aspects are reveiwed. Comments are also made on the economic impact of the airport, and the financing of the construction. The airport which was 3 runways and 2 additional preplanned primary runways, is designed to accommodate the wing spread and fuselage lengths for any forseeable future aircraft. Among the construction innovations developed here was the construction of runways and taxiways with a new mechanized system for installing expansion and contraction bars. Terminal facitilies are based on a circular design. Steam and chilled water are generated from a central utility plant located in the center of the terminal complex and midway through the spine tunnel. It is expected that the airport will contribute almost $267 million in direct purchases of goods and services.

The choice between highways and mass transit and the advantages and disadvantages of each are considered. Rapid transit links which are unable to generate patronage are discussed with reference to the airport rapid transit connector in Cleveland, Ohio. A program to construct a TACV system between Dallas and Fort Worth connecting both cities with the new regional airport is noted. In Houston, private developers have built 4 satellite terminals on major transportation corridors in the metropolitan area. Transit service between the airport and the terminals is provided on 30-minute headways during 11 hours of the days. A number of innovative intra-airport circulation systems have been developed to shuttle passengers between remote parking areas and terminal buildings. The system operating in Tampa airport which is comparable to the system under development at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is described. A pace setter in airport development is the Houston International's underground transit system to connect the ground access parking facilities with 2 satellite terminals. The system provides service on 2-minute headways to 6 stations through the terminal area. The AIRTRANS system at Dallas/Fort Worth airport is also described.

Historical precedents for this work are described. Applications of biomechanics in predicting tolerance to aircraft emergency loads led to modeling techniques which permitted prediction of injury probability from acceleration data. Similar techniques, developed for other injury mechanisms, are discussed. Kinetic models have been developed for predicting motion of the human in a crash environment and the injury models are used to evaluate the sensitivity of the human to the crash. Both of these models require experimental validation. Selection and description of a test subject for these experiments pose many difficulties. Limitations and advantages of human, cadaver, animal, and dummy tests are presented. A final application of biomechanics is the development of suitable dummy performance requirements for evaluation of crash injury reduction systems. Anthropometric data must be determined for a representative population to describe both sizes and capabilities. Body properties must be established to permit duplication in the dummy. Modeling techniques for relating injury to dummy response must be developed and validated. Finally, reliablility and validity of the dummy performance in the specific crash environment must be established. U1 - Vehicle Safety Research Integration Symposium, Washington, D.C., May 30 and 31.

AB - The requirements for the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS), which is to support the Air Traffic Control System through the 1990's are enumerated. The requirements presented in this paper should be used in developing the prototype versions of DABS. Data link requirements have been developed for several categories of messages. The first category is tactical (numeric), which are essential for air traffic control. Some of these messages are used to support such ATC services as: parallel-approach monitoring, improved metering and spacing, intermittent positive control and enroute monitoring. The second category is called tactical (symbolic), messages that are short alphanumeric messages which are directly related to ATC. Some of these messages are changes in area navigation waypoints, coded routes and holding instructions. The third category is called record messages. These messages are longer symbolic messages which can have a direct ATC connection (e.g., clearances) or messages which are ATC related but not considered essential to an ATC data link (e.g., in flight weather information about the aircraft's destination, etc.).

AB - Experimental results at L-band are presented for eight overland multipath flights, six overocean multipath flights in the Pacific region, and a series of fixed-link scintillation measurements within the 1545- to 1655-MHz frequency band allocated for future aeronautical satellite services. Test signals were transmitted from the NASA/Rosman ground station to an FAA KC-135 jet airplane via the NASA ATS-5 satellite. Overland multipath data were acquired at elevation angles between 14 degrees and 19 degrees over marshy, hilly, and mountainous terrain in northern Canada and Alaska for both summer and winter conditions. These data together with the Pacific region overocean multipath data were analyzed to determine scatter reflection coefficients, circular polarization sense reversal characteristics, and power spectral density. Scintillation test data were analyzed to determine signal time histories, amplitude histograms, S2 scintillation parameter, statistical fade depths, and power spectra.

PHASE V. MULTIPATH/RANGING ANALYSIS AND RESULTS PY - 1973/04 SP - 243 p. AB - Experimental results are presented for 30 multipath and ranging test flights involving an FAA KC-135 jet airplane, the NASA ATS-5 satellite, the NASA/Rosman ground station, and the FAA NAFEC facility. Tests included overocean multipath measurements and one-way tone ranging between the ground station and airplane via the satellite. Data were acquired over the North Atlantic at satellite elevation angles between 9 degrees and 31 degrees, within the 1545 to 1655 MHz frequency band allocated for future aeronautical satellite services. Significant multipath experiment results include determination of the multipath signal amplitude statistics, power spectral density, polarization properties, and selective fading characteristics. Multipath results are correlated with theoretical predictions based on use of the physical optics scatter model. Ranging experiment results include performance confirmation of a narrow-band cw tone ranging technique, characterization of the effect of multipath on ranging accuracy, and concept demonstration using low-gain slot dipole aircraft antennas. Comparison of experimental ranging results with theoretical predictions is given.

PHASE I. EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM - AIRCRAFT COMMUNICATIONS/SURVEILLANCE VIA SATELLITE AT L-BAND PY - 1973/04 SP - 405 p. AB - A program definition study (phase I) for an experimental flight test program intended to establish the capabilities and limitations of an L-band aeronautical satellite system has been completed. Three experiments are defined: aircraft position surveillance via satellite, voice and digital communications via satellite, and multipath propagation characterization. The test program was designed to use the NASA ATS-5 satellite, scheduled for launch in August 1969, and two FAA airplanes, a KC-135 and a DC-6B. Ground terminals were to be located at the NASA Mojave facility in California and at the FAA NAFEC facility near Atlantic City, N.J. Descriptions of the aircraft experimental L-band antennas and functional requirements for the airborne and ground-based terminals are given. Due to failure of the ATS-5 satellite to achieve proper stabilization in orbit, the test program and hardware described herein were extensively revised prior to implementation and flight test as described in subsequent program phases.

PHASE II. TERMINAL DESIGN AND FLIGHT TEST PLAN FOR PHASE I PROGRAM. VOLUME 1. TERMINAL DESIGN PY - 1973/04 SP - 112 p. AB - Airborne and ground station terminal designs for implementation of the phase I test plan are defined. Hardware configurations for the KC-135, DC-6B, and the NAFEC and Mojave ground terminals are described. Preliminary subsystem performance specifications, intended to form the basis for either in-house development or outside procurement, are given.

PHASE IVD, ADDITIONAL TESTS. VOLUME 1. SATELLITE/AIRCRAFT L-BAND DATA COMMUNICATION TESTS PY - 1973/04 SP - 133 p. AB - A digital data transmission experiment conducted between the NASA/Rosman ground station and an FAA KC-135 jet airplane at L-band via the geostationary NASA ATS-5 satellite is described. Sixteen tests were conducted during March and April 1973. All tests employed PSK transmission of alphanumeric text and pseudonoise sequences over the link to obtain a quantitative comparative evaluation of CPSK, DECPSK, and DPSK detection techniques. Significant results included performance characterization of the detection techniques for both the AWGN channel and the Rician fading channel in the presence of overocean multipath. Reception of messages using slot dipole antennas on the aircraft was also successfully demonstrated. Results are presented and discussed relative to theoretical expectation.

PHASE II. TERMINAL DESIGN AND FLIGHT TEST PLAN FOR PHASE I PROGRAM. VOLUME 2. FLIGHT TEST PLAN PY - 1973/04 SP - 57 p. AB - Flight test requirements was defined and integrated flight test schedules have been prepared for the voice/data communications, surveillance, and multipath propagation experiments defined in the phase I test plan. A 6-month flight test program is assumed. Aircraft flightpaths and maneuvers, measurement station locations, satellite usage, and test procedures are given for each experiment. From these, integrated test schedules for the KC-135, DC-6B, and ATS-5 satellite are prepared. Due to failure of the ATS-5 satellite to achieve proper stabilization in orbit, the flight test requirements and schedules described herein were extensively revised prior to the phase IV flight test program.

AB - The purpose of the TERMINAL/TOWER CONTROL Program is to develop the capabilities applicable to terminal radar control facilities and airport traffic control towers in consonance with the overall Phase I and Phase II upgrading efforts for the Upgraded Third Generation ATC System. A corollary purpose is to continually assess the adequacy of implemented improvements in terms of utility, capacity and performance and devise fixes to rectify deficiencies encountered in day-to-day operations of terminal/tower facilities. The program encompasses developments affecting the acceptance, processing, distribution, and display of flight plan, control, surveillance and environmental data, and the airspace utilization and control procedures applicable to terminal/tower operations.

AB - Two main objectives of the study were: (1) To establish a threshold of acceptability for commercial aircraft sonic booms, (2) To investigate and develope the technology to provide simulation to any community noise problem. Seven Community Noise Simulation Systems were designed and fabricated, and simulated sonic booms were introduced, via these systems, into the homes of twelve subject families. Acceptance, interference, and annoyance response data were measured. Three boom levels and two frequency schedules were studied. It was concluded that for establishing a design/certification sonic boom threshold of acceptability for advanced supersonic transports, a level of 87 dB should be considered for indoor living with not more than fifteen daily boom exposures (no nighttime booms). It was also concluded that the simulation developed can be used to establish standards involving traffic noise, noise from airports, construction noise, and effects of industrial noise on surrounding communities.

AB - The report evaluates possible modifications to the Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP). The most desirable improvement to ADAP is obtained by extending ADAP eligibility to include terminal area investment. This would permit more efficient and more equitable use of ADAP funds. Increasing the federal share of project costs to 75%, to some extent, also appears desirable. This modification would allow increased support of airport development more comparable to federal support of other transportation modes.

AB - The development plan describes the efforts to develop a wake vortex avoidance system (WVAS). The basic objective is a system to increase runway capacity by removing the capacity-restrictive large spacings now required between aircraft to avoid wake vortex hazards. In addition, through the use of vortex sensors, safety will be increased in the terminal area by warning of the existence of vortices in the aircraft approach and departure paths. The program consists of three major task areas: Sensor development, vortex behavior, and hazard definition.

Fromme. Analysis of Airport Surtaxes on Air Tickets (Head Taxes) and Their Effect on Airport Revenues, Passenger Fares, and Number of Enplanements. Data are largely from a survey of 54 airports that had adopted head taxes prior to their prohibition by the Airport Development Acceleration Act of 1973; and a separate survey of 30 airports that had not. Contents: a. Summary; and financial situation of surveyed airports, 1973, with 10 tables on operating income and expenses, funding and sources, and planned uses for head tax revenues. B. Impact of head taxes on fares, with 6 tables showing percent increase in fares for selected city-pairs and price elasticities. C. Impact of head tax prohibition on airport finances, with 5 tables comparing head tax and other revenues, and 5 charts projecting 5-year revenues from $1, $2, and $3 tax; and bibliography. Appendices include tables showing calculated changes in business and pleasure enplanements at 55 airports because of head taxes; and actual growth in passenger traffic for airports with and without head tax; various periods, 1971-1973. Data from a survey of 54 airports that had adopted head taxes and a separate survey of 38 airports that had not.

PAST AND CURRENT EFFORTS ARE RECOUNTED AND RECOMMENDEATIONS ARE MADE FOR EXTENDING AND PERFECTING THOSE EFFORTS. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IS VIEWED NOT SIMPLY AS A MEANS TO CLEAR THE WAY TO PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION BUT AS A MEANS OF ACHIEVING MORE EFFECTIVE DECISION-MAKING IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. THE FUNCTIONS OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION ARE DEFINED AND THE NEEDS IT SATISFIES ARE CLASSIFIED. GROUPS OR COMMUNITIES ARE CATEGORIZED ACCORDING TO THE FUNCTIONS THEY PERFORM. IF THEIR NEEDS ARE TO BE SATISFIED, A WIDE RANGE OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS MUST BE EVALUATED CORRESPONDING TO THE INTERESTS OF THESE VARIOUS GROUPS. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THAT MUST BE EVALUATED ARE LISTED. THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL NATURE OF CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEES ARE REVIEWED WITH RESPECT TO SMALL URBAN AREAS. ALTHOUGH CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT IN REGIONAL SYSTEMS PLANNING IS SOMETIMES APPARENT, MOST GROUPS ARE NOT ORGANIZED ON A REGIONAL LEVEL. SYSTEMS PLANNING IN URBAN AREAS OF PENNSYLVANIA INVOLVES SUBAREA PLANNING ACTIVITIES WHICH EVALUATE NEEDS, AND IMPACTS OF PROPOSED ACTIONS. INFORMAL PREHEARING CITIZEN MEETINGS ARE DESCRIBED WHICH HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF PAST EXPERIENCES IN LARGE AND SMALL URBAN AREAS. MORE EFFORT IS REQUIRED OF DISTRICTS IN WORKING MORE CLOSELY WITH CITIZENS AT THE SYSTEMS PLANNING LEVEL. THIS WILL ENABLE PROJECTS TO BE VIEWED AS PART OF AN AREA-WIDE SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT. CURRENT RESEARCH IN THIS AREA IS OUTLINED AND AREAS FOR FUTURE STUDY ARE INDICATED.

CITIZENS BELIEVE THIS GOAL IS AS IMPORTANT A PLANNING PARAMETER AS IS THE GOAL OF FACILITATING REGIONAL GROWTH THROUGH SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. TWO STRONG INTEREST GROUPS IN THE CITY ARE IDENTIFIED AS THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WHICH IS BUSINESS-ORIENTED AND THE GROUP THAT IS RESIDENTIAL-ORIENTED. SITUATIONS IN WHICH CITIZEN GROUPS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY VOICED THEIR OPINION ARE RECORDED. A CASE IS DESCRIBED WHERE AN ORGANIZED AND ARTICULATE COMMUNITY GROUP OBTAINED COURT INJUNCTION AGAINST FURTHER LAND ACQUISITION. THE LOCUS OF PLANNING THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS IDENTIFIED AND THE CREATION OF THE METROPOLITAN ATLANTA RAPID TRANSIT AUTHORITY AND THE ATLANTA REGIONAL COMMISSION IS OUTLINED. A FRAGMENTED BUT WIDESPREAD CITIZEN GROUP CALLED THE ATLANTA COALITION ON THE TRANSPORTATION CRISIS WAS CREATED PARTLY TO OPPOSE TOLL ROAD LEGISLATION, AND TO RAISE THE QUESTION OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND CITIZENS' PARTICIPATION TO THE LEVEL OF POLITICAL DEBATE. THE CONSTITUENT GROUPS OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE DESCRIBED AND THEIR ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE REVIEWED. THE OBSERVATION IS MADE THAT THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT HAS DEMONSTRATED RIGIDITY AND INFLEXIBILITY IN REEXAMINING OR UPDATED OLD PLANS. WAYS OF IMPROVING THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS ARE SUGGESTED. IMPACT STUDY PROCEDURES SHOULD EXPAND TO INCLUDE TOTAL COMMUNITY IMPACT AND AMELIORATED PROCEDURES. IMPACT STUDIES SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REGIONAL COMMISSION RATHER THAN THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT. COMMUNITY IMPACT WORK, THE BUDGET AND DECISION-MAKING ARE SOME ASPECTS INFORMALLY DISCUSSED FOLLOWING THIS PAPER.

THE REVIEW GAVE PRIORITY TO THE INTEGRATION OF EXPRESSWAY PLANNING WITH PLANNING FOR ARTERIAL AND LOCAL STREETS, PARKING AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION; THE INTEGRATION OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ITSELF WITH PLANNING FOR HOUSING, NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITY, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT; AND THE MAXIMUM PARTICIPATION BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THE PUBLIC IN THE PLANNING PROCESS. THE PROCESS WAS AN OPEN ONE AND AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF CONSULTANTS WERE ASSEMBLED TO DEVELOP AND COMPARE WIDELY DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES. THE STUDY PRODUCED AN ANALYSIS OF THE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES FROM DIFFERENT VALUE PERSPECTIVES. THE ANALYSIS WAS SUBJECTED TO CRITICAL REVIEW BY PUBLIC AGENCIES AND PRIVATE GROUPS AND AT THE END OF A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME ELECTRED PUBLIC OFFICIALS MADE DECISIONS BASED ON THE ANALYSIS AND THE RESPONSE. DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF THE STUDY FRAMEWORK. THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY IS DEFINED AND THE SELECTION OF THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY CONSULTANT TEAM IS DESCRIBED. A SIMIPLIFIED ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE WAS ESTABLISHED TO EXPEDITE PROJECT APPROVALS. COMMUNITY LIAISON AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED BY A SPECIAL STAFF. IN FORMATION WAS RELEASED WITHOUT CLEARANCE PROCEDURES. THE WORKING COMMITTEE, THE VARIETY AND TYPE OF MEETINGS, PROGRAM PACKAGE CHOICES, CRITERIA, VALUES AND COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS ARE OTHER ASPECTS DISCUSSED. THE PRE-REVEIW OF DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS PROVED TO BE THE TEST OF THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE STUDY ARE PRESENTED. FEDERAL LAW WAS CONSIDERED IN DEALING WITH CONTROVERSY. THE OBJECTIVE OF DEALING OPENLY WITH CONTROVERSY AND DEVELOPING WIDELY DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES WAS NOT AN EASY TASK. ALL INTEREST GROUPS DESIRED MORE THAN COULD BE PRODUCED WITH THE LIMITED RESOURCES. THE IMPACT OF STAFF PERSONALITIES ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTICIPANTS IS SIGNIFICANT. THE NEED FOR TECHNICALLY TRAINING PERSONS FOR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND POLICY ANALYSIS IS EMPHASIZED. LESSONS LEARNED IN THE STUDY ARE INVALUABLE.

AB - REPORTED HERE ARE TOPICS PRESENTED AT A CONFERENCE HELD TO DEVELOP A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS. SPECIFIC PLANNING AND POLICY QUESTIONS ENCOUNTERED BY TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES IN ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE GREATER CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT ARE ADDRESSED. THE MEETING, WHICH WAS LIMITED TO PERSONS WITH PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE IN THE PROBLEMS OF CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT, INCLUDED THE VIEWPOINTS OF 4 GROUPS, NAMELY, THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNERS AND CONSULTANTS, THE CITIZENS, THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SPECIALISTS, AND LOCAL OFFICALS AND ADMINISTRATORS RESPONSIBLE FOR DECISION-MAKING. THE CONFERENCE WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO GENERATE OPEN DISCUSSION AND IDEAS, IS CONSIDERED TO BE USEFUL IN HELPING TO ARTICULATE THE ROLE OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL PLANNING BODIES. PAPERS CONCERNING THE BOSTON TRANSPORTATION PLANNING REVIEW ARE PRESENTED, AS ARE ALSO, THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION ISSUES COVERED BY FIVE WORKSHOPS. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CONFERENCE ARE OUTLINED AND COVER SUCH ASPECTS AS A DEFINITION OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND ITS DESIRABLE CONSEQUENCES, ITS EFFECTIVENESS, AND ITS MANNER OF ACHIEVEMENT. DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF THE WORKSHOP REPORTS ON OVERVIEW ISSUES AND SITUATIONAL ISSUES. THE PAPERS PRESENTED COVER SUCH ASPECTS OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AS TECHNIQUES AND POLITICS, REGIONAL PLANNING, MINORITY VIEWPOINTS, OFFICIAL VIEWPOINT, THE URBAN STATE, THE RURAL STATE, BALANCED PLANNING, PLANNING METHODOLOGY, SYSTEM MANAGEMENT, ECOLOGICAL PLANNING, AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY LIAISON.

THE APPLICATION OF SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND ENGINEERING TO SOCIAL SCIENCE IS DISCUSSED. THE MARKET TYPE OF ARRANGEMENTS IS DESCRIBED WHICH SEEKS TO MINIMIZE THE ROLE OF THE CENTRAL DECISION-MAKERS AND DISPERSE DECISION-MAKING AMONG INDIVIDUALS WHO CONSTITUTE SOCIETY. THE GROWTH OF THE MODE OF SOCIAL PROTEST IS REVIEWED FROM ITS INCEPTION IN THE 60'S TO ITS LEGITIMIZATION AS AN INSTITUTIONALIZED POLITICAL PROCESS FOR CITIZENS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AMALGAMATED STYLE IN WHICH CITIZEN PARTICIPATION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM DESIGN IS EXAMINED. THE DIFFICULTIES CAUSED BY THE METHOD OF PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF PUBLIC SERVICES, THE INTERACTION OF URBAN SYSTEMS INCLUDING SERVICE SYSTEMS, AND THE BOUNDARIES OF EACH AGENCY'S RESPONSIBILITIES ARE SOME ASPECTS DISCUSSED. THERE ARE NO SET SOLUTIONS TO SOCIALLY RELATED QUESTIONS. EFFICIENCY IS ACCEPTED AS A CRITERION FOR DESIGN AND DECISION. IN THE ABSENCE OF TECHNICALLY VALID ANSWERS TO SYSTEMS DESIGN THAT AFFECT SOCIAL SYSTEMS, ONLY POLITICALLY DERIVED ANSWERS ARE ADMISSIBLE. THE TASK OF THE SYSTEMS DESIGNER IS THEREFORE, TO CONTRIBUTE BETTER INFORMATION, BETTER FORECASTS, AND BETTER ANALYSIS TO PUBLIC REVIEW, SUCH THAT MORE ENLIGHTENED AND BETER INFORMED BARGAINING CAN BE ENGAGED AMONG THE COMPETING PUBLICS. SINCE THERE ARE NO TECHNICAL ROUTES TO VALUES, THE INVOLVEMENT OF CONSUMERS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY WAY. MARKETS PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE MEDIUM TO DEBATING FORUMS. MANY QUESTIONS CAN BE ADEQUATELY CONSIDERED ONLY IF ALL THREE APPROACHES ARE PURSUED. POLITICAL QUESTIONS CAN ONLY BE RESOLVED THROUGH DEBATE AND NEGOTIATION AND ITS IS HERE THAT ANALYSIS AND SYSTEMIC FORECASTS FIND THEIR CRITICAL ROLES AS INFORMERS AND SOURCES OF INTELLIGENCE. TECHNIQUES AND POLITICS ARE THUS MUTUALLY DEPENDENTED, MAKING THE SYSTEMS ANALYST AND PARTICIPATING CITIZEN PARTNERS IN THE PURSUIT OF SOCIAL BETTERMENT.

AB - This short study--the second in a contemplated series of FAA historical monographs dealing with the evolution of the Federal role in civil aviation--examines the course of events that convinced congress, some 12 years after the Air Commerce Act's enactment, that civil airports fulfilled a broader function than merely serving their own communities and constituted, therefore, an area of Federal interest. The rationale for this turnaround underlies the long-standing program of Federal assistance to airports--assistance now taken for granted. Today, the Airport and Airway Development Act authorizes Federal spending for civil airport development and planning of up to $280 million annually.

THE POSITION OF THE NON-WHITE IN THE PRESENT SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE COUNTRY IS EXAMINED IN THE LIGHT OF HISTORY. NON-WHITE PROTEST CARRIES NO POLITICAL WEIGHT. THE FAILURE OF THE CITY OF CLEVELAND TO INVOLVE PEOPLE IN THE PLANNING PROCESS IS DISCUSSED. POLITICAL DECISION WAS MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF PRIVATE DEVELOPERS. THE QUESTION IS RAISED AS TO WHETHER THE EXISTING POLITICAL PROCESS COULD BE USED TO STOP CERTAIN TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS THAT WERE DESIGNED FOR NON-WHITES INSTEAD OF WITH THEM. IF PLANNERS DID NOT VIEW NON-WHITES AS OBJECTS OF SUSPICION, THIS WOULD NOT BE A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. CONSEQUENCES WHICH MUST BE FACED WHEN THE NON-WHITE CITIZEN IS UNABLE TO EXPRESS HIMSELF IN GOVERNMENT PROCEDURES IS DESCRIBED. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE SAME PROCEDURES USED TO ENCOURAGE WHITE CITIZENS SHARE IN THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS BE USED WITH NON-WHITE CITIZENS AS WELL. SPECIAL PROBLEMS FACED BY NON-WHITES SUCH AS LACK OF RELOCATION ASSISTANCE (IN A CASE IN CLEVELAND) AND UNEMPLOYMENT ARE OUTLINED. IT IS URGED THAT MORE CONFERENCES BE HELD TO INFORM PLANNERS OF THESE SPECIAL PROBLEMS. PLANNING IN NON-WHITE COMMUNITIES NOT ONLY WOULD BE BENEFICIAL BUT WOULD ALSO RESULT IN TOTAL COMMUNITY PROGRESS.

THE HISTORY OF THE RESPONSE TO THIS CHALLENGE IS OUTLINED. THE MOST RECENT RESPONSE IS THE BROADLY BASED BOSTON TRANSPORTATION REVIEW (BTPR), WHICH HAS GIBEN EQUAL ATTENTION TO HIGHWAY AND TRANSIT AND TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL EFFECTS OF TRANSPORTATION, WHILE DE-EMPHASIZING INVESTMENT IN SOPHISTICATED TRANSPORTATION LAND USE TECHNIQUES IN FAVOR OF BALANCE AMONG A BROAD RANGE OF COMPETING ISSUES. THE BTPR WAS A TECHNICO-POLITICAL ENTERPRISE STRUCTURED TO COMBINE A BROADLY OPEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS (IN TERMS OF OPTION GENERATION AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES) WITH A SIMULTANEOUS SHARPENING OF THE DECISION-MAKING POWER. THE STUDY REVEALED THAT THE PARTICIPATION PROCESS PLAYS CERTAIN KEY TECHNICAL ROLES. BROAD EXPOSURE OF ALTERNATIVES AT THE OUTSET, ENSURES THAT THE COMPLETE RANGE OF ISSUES IS GENERATED EARLY IN THE PROCESS. PARTICIPANTS OFTEN TOOK THE INITIATIVE IN THE SHAPING OF PLAN. THE EVALUATION CRITERIA IN BOSTON WERE DEVELOPED FROM A CONSENSUS OF COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL GROUPS. THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS ENSURED THAT DECISION-MAKERS WERE CONTINUALLY INFORMED OF THE REACTIONS OF THE REACTIONS OF VARIOUS INTEREST GROUPS. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THERE BE CONTINUAL INTERACTION BETWEEN THE TECHNICAL STAFF AND THE PARTICIPANTS. THE PRESSURE OF INTENSIVE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT REQUIRES CHANGES IN THE TECHNICAL PLANNING PROCESS. IT WAS FOUND THAT ALTHOUGH A COMMUNITY LIAISON STAFF CAN AID COMMUNITY-TECHNICAL INTERACTION, TECHNICAL QUESTIONS MUST BE RESOLVED BY QUALIFIED TECHNICAL STAFF. THE OBSERVATION IS MADE THAT THE PLANNING PROCESS MUST SHIFT FROM AN OPTIMIZATION PROCESS WITH AN OBJECTIVE FUNCTION TO A SEARCH THAT IS INTERACTIVE, ADAPTIVE, AND CAN CONSIDER CONFLICTING OBJECTIVES. INFORMED DECISIONS ON CORRIDOR ALTERNATIVES MAY BE MADE ONLY ON EVALUATION OF A 200-FT SCALE. FINDINGS ON LAND USE DISTRIBTUIONS, THE BENEFITS OF TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS, LONG RANGE ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES AND THE EVALUATION PROCESS ITSELF ARE OTHER ASPECTS DISCUSSED.

THEIR PARTICIPATION LED TO THEIR MAKING A MAJOR RECOMMENDATION IN THE SELECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT TEAM. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND VARIOUS INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAMS CONTRIBUTED TO THE RESOLUTION OF ISSUES WHICH MAY NOT HAVE BEEN OTHERWISE RESOLVED. PROBLEMS WERE STATED IN A FORM FOR EVALUATING THE TRADE-OFF FACTORS OF COST, FACTORS RELATED TO HUMAN USE (RESIDENTIAL, BUSINESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT) AND ECOLOGICAL IMPACT RELATED TO NATURAL SYSTEMS AND AREAS. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM VISITED HUNDREDS OF REGIONAL AND SUBREGIONAL MEETINGS ORGANIZED TO DISCUSS THE VARIOUS ISSUES THAT CONCERNED THEM. THE RESOLUTION OF ISSUES FACING THE NORTH SHORE REGION WITH ITS WOODS AND MARSH AREAS IS DISCUSSED. THE LOCATION OF A MAJOR CORRIDOR IN THE SOUTHWEST PRODUCED A POLARIZATION BETWEEN POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. THE ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED AND ANALYZED BEFORE DECISIONS WERE MADE. A DETAILED INVESTIGATION (SURFACE WATER FEATURES OF THE AREA WERE DOCUMENTED, THE VEGETATION WAS ANALYZED AS WAS ALSO THE SOIL AND SURFICIAL GEOLOGY) OF A LOCATION REVEALED AN AREA OF CONCERN THAT HAD NOT BEEN SUSPECTED BEFORE.

SPECIAL ATTENTION IS FOCUSED ON THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS. THE ACTIVITIES ARE DESCRIBED OF THE 14-MEMBER METROPOLITAN COUNCIL WHICH SERVES AS THE COORDINATING AND PLANNING AGENCY FOR A 7-COUNTY AREA. THE COUNCIL HAS (BY STATUTE) VETO POWER OVER THE TIMING AND LOCATION OF DEVELOPMENTS. THE COUNCIL WITH HAS BEEN INVOLVED ON A STAFF BASIS IN TRANSPORTATION DECISIONS AND IS ALSO A PARTY TO THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROGRAM, HAS MANY TASK FORCES AND 2 BASIC COMMITTEES OF TECHNICAL ADVISORS. THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING THE REGIONAL PLANNING DECISION INVOLVING METROPOLITAN-SCALE HIGHWAYS WAS RELEGATED TO THE COUNCIL. THE ACHIEVEMENT OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IS CONSIDERED. THE INVOLVEMENT OF A CITIZEN GROUP IN A CONSULTANT STUDY OF VARIOUS ROUTES AND ALTERNATIVES IN A PARTICULAR CORRIDOR IS DESCRIBED. THE ROLE OF THE COUNCIL AS A POLITICAL DECISION-MAKER IS DISCUSSED. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT IN THE PREPARATION OF A METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN IS OUTLINED. AN ATTEMPT IS BEING MADE TO APPLY THE SAME TECHNIQUES IN REGIONAL PLANNING. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC DECISION-MAKING IS HERE TO STAY. THE PRESSURE OF CLAIMS FROM THE POOR, THE MINORITIES AND FROM THE SUBURBS WILL INCREASE. BENEFITS ARE ACHIEVED BY OPEN PLANNING THAT IS WIDELY PUBLICIZED AND INVOLVES FULL PUBLIC DEBATE BEFORE AND BY AS MANY INFORMED CITIZENS AS ONE CAN INDUCE TO PARTICIPATE.

THE PROGRAMS START WITH PUBLIC HOUSING FOLLOWED BY URBAN RENEWAL AND LATER, MODEL CITY PROGRAMMING. THE CREATION OF THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT CHANGED MANY ASPECTS OF PLANNING. A CASE IS DESCRIBED WHERE THE DIRECTION OF A ROAD WAS CHANGED AS THE RESULT OF A PUBLIC HEARING. TODAY, THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY MUST BE IMPLEMENTED. A CASE IS OUTLINED WHERE CITIZENS ENLISTED THE AID OF A UNIVERSITY STUDENT WORKSHOP TO MAKE AN IMPACT STUDY. THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY CAUSED A SLOWING IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT. THE CITIZEN VIEWS EACH PROJECT AS PART OF A NEIGHBORHOOD. AN INSTANCE OF CITIZEN REACTION WHICH IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE PLANS IN MERCER COUNTY IS DESCRIBED. AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION OF OF THIS PAPER COVERS SUCH ASPECTS AS THE SELECTION OF PERSONNEL FOR ADVISORY COMMITTEES, AND DECISION-MAKING COMMITEES, THE OPEN-DOOR POLICY FOR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION, AND CITIZEN GROUPS THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED IN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING.

TYPICAL SITUATIONS INVOLVING TRANSPORTATION ARE DESCRIBED. IN MAINE PROBLEMS RELATE TO CITIZENS' DEMAND FOR MORE HIGHWAYS RATHER THAN TO THEIR OBJECTION TO HIGHWAY OR TRANSPORTATION MODES FOR A PARTICULAR CORRIDOR. THERE IS, HOWEVER, A MINORITY INTEREST IN THE CURTAILMENT OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION. FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON RURAL STATES ARE SOMETIMES UNNECESSARY AND MAY LEAD TO CONFUSION. PUBLIC MEETINGS ARE NOT WELL PATRONIZED AND OFTEN SERVE NO MORE THAN PROVIDING DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE THAT SUCH A MEETING WAS HELD. PRE-PUBLIC-HEARING INFORMATION MEETINGS ARE MORE CONSTRUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING THE OPINION OF THE TRULY CONCERNED. HIGHWAY CONTROVERSIES OVER RURAL ROADS AND CONTROVERSY INVOLVING JURISDICTION OVER SEA TRANSPORTATION ARE THE ISSUES COVERED IN AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION AFTER THE PAPER.

THE PAPERS PRESENTED DEMONSTRATE THE WAY IN WHICH THE INTENSIVE PARTICIPATORY APPROACH HAS AFFECTED VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF THE STUDY. THE STUDY WAS INTENSIVE IN INVOLVEMENT OF COMMUNITY INTERESTS IN THE AREA OF TECHNICAL WORK AND TECHNICAL DECISION-MAKING; IN THE AREA OF EDUCATION OF COMMUNITY AND OTHER GROUPS TOWARD PARTICIPATION IN A TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS; AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY-ADVOCATED OPTIONS WITH RESPECT TO FACILITY ALTERNATIVES WITHIN THE PROJECT CORRIDOR FRAMEWORK. THE PAPERS PRESENTED COVER THE BROADER ASPECTS OF THE PROCESS AND HOW BTPR SOUGHT TO DEAL WITH THE CONTROVERSIES WITH WHICH IT WAS CHARGED; THE WAY IN WHICH PARTICIPATION AFFECTED THE METHODOLOGY OF THE BTPR; THE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ASPECTS OF THE STUDY AND IN PARTICULAR ON THE KINDS OF FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS AND PROPOSALS THAT EMERGED; THE ECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF RESPONSIVENESS TO COMMUNITY INTERESTS; AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF EFFORT TO THE REPRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY VIEWS. IMPORTANT FEATURES OF BTPR WERE ITS LARGE SCALE, EXPANSIVE, FLEXIBLE FORMAT OF STUDY AND ITS MANDATE TO SETTLE SPECIFIC AND HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL BUILD/NO-BUILD DECISIONS CONCERNING EXPRESSWAYS. THE LATTER ASPECT PLACED A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE EFFORT IN THE STUDY ON PROJECT LEVEL CONSIDERATION WHICH GAVE THE STUDY ONE OF ITS MOST INNOVATIVE CHARATERISTICS.

THIS GAVE THREE SEPARATE (TAILORED AROUND EACH SPECIFIC CORRIDOR) PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES IN ADDITION TO THE GENERAL REGIONAL PROCESS. COMMUNITY GROUPS OF LOCALLY RECRUITED PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE IN COMMUNITY WORK, REPORTED DIRECTLY TO THE STUDY MANAGER. ONE OF THE MAJOR FUNCTIONS WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS FREE COMMUNICATION AMONG VARIOUS PARTIES OF INTEREST IN BOTH TECHNICAL STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY GROUPS. MECHANISMS HAD TO BE DEVELOPED THAT WERE RESPONSIVE TO A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF STYLES AND INTERESTS. IT WAS FOUND THAT OPEN PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETINGS WERE MORE DESIRED THAN FORMAL COMMITTEES. RELIANCE WAS PLACED ON THE PRESS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS MECHANISMS TO PUBLICIZE MEETINGS AND INFORM PEOPLE. MAJOR LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE STUDY ARE LISTED AND DISCUSSED. THE RATIONALE PRESENTED MUST BE ACCEPTABLE, REASONABLE AND WELL DOCUMENTED. THE SYSTEM FOR PRESENTING INFORMATION TO, AND GETTING FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE TECHNICAL WORK. TRANSPORTATION STUDIES MUST BE RELATED TO THE COMMUNITIES AND PRESENTED AS RELATED TO THEM. THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF TRANSPORTATION MUST BE STUDIED AND A PROCESS MUST BE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THOSE PROBLEMS. CAUTION IS URGED IN THE EXERCISE OF THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS.

THE PROCESS HAS BROADENED THE RANGE OF ALTERNATIVES AND HAS LED TO THE SUBSTITUTION OF THE REGULATION OF TRANSPORT DEMAND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES TO MEET THAT DEMAND. THE PROCESS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE SUBSTITUTION OF ONE TYPE OF MODE FOR ANOTHER. THE NATURE OF TRANSPORTATION DEMAND, PARKING PRICING POLICY AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAY FACILITIES ARE SOME QUESTIONS CONSIDERED. THE IMPACT OF TRUCK TRAFFIC ON COMMUNITIES, AND THE ADOPTION AS RECOMMENDED SOLUTION OF AN OPTION WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED IF NOT FOR THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS, IS DESCRIBED. IN THE AREA OF EVALUATION, PARTICIPATION INFLUENCED THE DEFINITION OF THE AREAS OF CONCERN AND THEIR MEASUREMENT. THE PROCESS ALSO MONITORED THE ACCURACY OF THE RESULTS OF EVALUATION AND THE CLARITY OF THE PRESENTATION. ALTHOUGH THE SELECTION OF ALTERNATIVES IS A POLITICAL PROCESS, THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS EXPOSED THE RESULTS OF THE STUDIES AND INFLUENCED THE MAKING OF THE CHOICE. THE PROCESS WAS SEEN TO BROADEN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH RESPECT TO THE ISSUES, OPTIONS AND THE RESULTS OF THE PLANNING PROCESS.

It has been found that transverse grooving tends to reduce the amount of time in which any type of hydroplaning can occur. Comparative tests have shown that the grooving tends to produce more uniform friction than ungrooved surfaces. The greater the cross-sectional area of the groove, the more water it can hold before overflowing. Grooves which are too wide, however, will trap debris. Grooves 1/4 inch deep, spaced one inch between centers give maximum traction. The overall effect of runway grooving is to permit a wet runway to approach the braking capability of a dry runway. The cost of grooving existing runways is discussed.

The report analyzes these and other engineering inadequacies and then describes in detail the modification of one channel of an ASDE radar at TSC. To date the system has been operating for several months without any modulator failures. This is nearly fifty times longer than previous mean time between failures.

AB - This document is designed to assist and guide airport planners, regional planners, and all other interested parties in identifying and resolving environmental problems associated with airport planning and development. It treats airport environmental planning as an integral part of the comprehensive regional planning process. The development of the material presented herein involved a combination of selected airport case studies, literature review, and intensive discussions and interviews with public and private agency representatives, to identify, elaborate upon, and describe methodologies for measuring relevant airport environmental factors. The complexity and diversity of the subject matter made such an approach desirable, and in execution this approach effectively addressed itself to the problems at hand. Since a major objective is the development of information and references to assist airport planners in effectively integrating environmental planning with airport planning and comprehensive regional planning, a multi-disciplinary approach to the work was utilized. Case studies of six airports were conducted of which three are presented in the Appendix.

KENNEDY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PY - 1972/07/31 SP - 74 p. AB - The (DPRS) Dynamic Preferential Runway System, an experimental system developed and installed by TRACOR, was designed to break up long periods of continuous community exposure to aircraft overflight, while still distributing overflight as equitably as possible. A quantitative analysis of the operational effect of the experimental DPRS was performed on two months of operational data. The number of overflights and time of continuous exposure were tabulated for each of four community sectors surrounding JFK with respect to time of day and month. These tabulations were compared with those which would have resulted if FAA Kennedy Tower Bulletin 69-1 had been used to assign runways. The experimental DPRS was seen to substantially redistribute exposure patterns, although affecting less than 20% of all operations, resulting in much more equitable exposure for each community area.

The phases of flight considered include straight-in final approach, flareout, and rollout. A limited number of detailed problems in performance analysis are studied. Data from computer simulation, covariance propagation and system optimization, with a careful selection of variables provides a means for generalizing from the results of specific experiments to more comprehensive functional, data rate, beam noise, and I control system requirements for automatic landing in turbulence. Conclusions point toward the requirements for a re-evaluation of the MLS as sole primary landing aid; the problem arises during flareout in turbulence, when elevation information is inadequate to maintain precise sink rate control. Minimum suitable data rate and maximum allowable noise for final approach are also recommended.

AB - The highlights are presented of a study which was accomplished using existing urban transportation study data files and computer programs available from the Federal Highway Administration. Four urbanized areas were selected for the study: Birmingham, Alabama - Boston, Massachusetts - Louisville, Kentucky and Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. For each selected area, two standard transportation planning files were obtained; that is, 1. A "link-data" file describing the characteristics of the highway network (link distance, speed, volume, capacity, etc.) 2. A "trip-record" file describing the characteristics of all trips made within the study area (trip origin, destination, mode, etc.) For each selected area the "link-data" file was used to build a computerized model of the highway network. The resulting "network description" was then used as input to an existing computer program to build minimum time paths from each node in the network to every other node. These minimum time paths or "trees" were then "skimmed" to obtain the traveltime between each pair of traffic analysis zones. The "trip record" file was processed to produce a matrix of zone-to-zone vehicle volumes. The resulting "trip table" was further processed to produce a summary of total vehicle trip-ends by traffic analysis zone. The total vehicle trip table was used in conjunction with the network and tree files to "load" total vehicle trips onto the highway network. The resulting "loaded network" was further processed to produce average daily, directional link volume and vehicle-mile information relative to total vehicle trips made within the study area. In addition, the total vehicle trip table and the skimmed tree files were used to generate a total vehicle trip length frequency distribution. The total vehicle, network and tree files were again used to load the highway network; however, this time only vehicle trips having an origin at the airport zone (this is the zone in which the airport was located) were loaded onto the highway network. The resulting loaded network was again further processed to produce average - daily directional link volume and vehicle trips having an origin at the airport. The term airport will refer to the zone in which the airport is located for the remainder of this report. Also, trip length frequency distribution information for vehicle trips having an origin at the airport was generated. The data generated as a result of the above process were then analyzed and subsequently summarized by five major categories: Trip, vehicle-mile, trip length, link and georgraphic orientation. A great deal of information relative to the characteristics of airport - oriented vehicle trips was produced as a result of this study. Much of these data are tabulated and presented in the results and appendix sections of this report.

A community disturbance model is described which forms the basis of determining when to break an exposure period. This model considers each operation occurring, giving appropriate weight to the more disturbing night and evening operations, adjusting for increased community sensitivity during weekends and on holidays, and accounting for the number of people exposed and the intensity of the exposure.

The simpler buildings of the future will be strong, lightweight, and easily maintained, Non combustible steel which could be made flame-retardant and is easily maintained will be a popular construction material. Modular buildings with minimal foundation, and capable of quick, economic expansion and contraction will become popular. Future terminal design will make more intensive use of the land, and more efficient use of the contained space. Design criteria for future terminals will include: easy junction of passenger and airplane; ample curbspace for loading and unloading passengers; elimination of the need to cross active roadways; abundant and secure parking; built-in, convenient cargo handling facilities; and minimal life-spans consistent with economic payout.

AB - In order to assess the effects of a public project on adjacent land values, this study focuses on the impact of an airport on real estate values. The author compares changes in land prices in one area adjacent to Toronto International Airport with similar areas in Metropolitan Toronto. All areas, in the period 1955 to 1969, represent varied land uses. Considering locational as well as land use choices facing decision makers, the model propounded explores possible external economics and diseconomies in the vicitity of the public project. The results of the study indicate that differences do exist in the pattern of price changes in the area around the airport in comparison with the values in non-airport areas. The evidence also suggests that residential land values drop initially during periods of change but, after a time, increase approximately to their previously established long-run trend.

AB - Aircraft noise has had an impact on the operations of existing airports and on the development of new airports. Runway restrictions, schedule controls, and changes in flight procedures have been instituted. Adjoining lands in high noise impact areas are being acquired by some airports for compatible land usage. Several major new airports have been delayed because of community concern for noise and other environmental problems. Aircraft noise from flight and, in some instances, from ground activity, has been a source of serious complaint to airport management and, in several instances, lawsuits have been filed for damage and injunctive relief. Generally, the same pressures that have been focused on airport management also have been directed at the airlines. In response, many airlines have changed approach, departure, and maintenance procedures which for the most part result in increased costs of operation. The airlines are being asked to consider retrofitting engine nacelles on existing aircraft with acoustical materials to reduce noise at its source. Aircraft and engine manufacturers have performed extensive work to find ways to reduce aircraft noise. This has resulted in a new generation of quieter aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing noise measurement methods and impact area formulas. These methods apparently do not accurately describe the human annoyance factors or clearly delinate the areas of the surrounding community on which airport noise may impact. The foregoing activity will alleviate current noise problems to some extent, but with the anticipated growth in air traffic, both passenger and cargo, longer range fundamental solutions need to be pursued.
