Acknowledgments This document is the result of activities of the Airborne Information for Lateral Spacing (AILS) Ad Hoe Team on the role of ATC in the AILS process. The team members are Marvin Waller, Thomas Doyle and Frank McGee. Marvin Waller, team leader, has been involved in the AILS concept development for the last five years and provided the team with the background information related to AILS from the flight deck perspective. Tom Doyle, Adsystech, Inc., is a recently retired FAA Air Traffic Controller with extensive experience in ATC facility management. His most recent experience has been at the Dallas-Fort Worth TRACON and Tower as Manager of Operations. His involvement on the ad hoc team is jointly sponsored by NASA and the FAA. Frank McGee, Lockheed Martin, is a retired United States Navy Master Chief Air Traffic Controller. His background includes facility supervision and experience as an Air Traffic Control Safety Analyst conducting safety inspections at military installations world wide. He was also Master Training Specialist responsible for Control Tower Operator certification. As well as bringing extensive ATC expertise to the team, Tom Doyle and Frank McGee used a number of contacts with individuals at ATC facilities throughout the country to assemble information on the details of current operations in various terminal areas.

Introduction This report presents information on a number of airports in the country with parallel runways and focuses on those that have at least one pair of parallel runways closer than 4300 ft. Information contained in the report describes the airport's current operational activity as obtained through contact with the facility and from FAA air traffic tower activity data for FY 1997. The primary reason for this document is to provide a single source of information for research to determine airports where Airborne Information for Lateral Spacing (AILS) technology may be applicable. A data sheet is presented for each airport. The data includes the quantity and type of activity at that airport and the resources to handle the activity, and shows the level of air traffic control (ATC) service provided. The level of ATC service at each airport may differ due to a variety of factors, such as the number of operations, runway configuration, and complexity of the surrounding airspace. The two primary sources that provide ATC services to an airport are the terminal radar approach control facility (TRACON), and the airport traffic control tower. These facilities interface with each other for all aircraft operations in the terminal area. The tower is always located on the airport; however, the TRACON can be located at a site off the airport. The mission of these facilities is to provide a safe, efficient, and expeditious flow of air traffic to airports under their jurisdiction. Airports usually offer this service on a 24-hour-per-day basis in all weather conditions. Instrument flight rules (IFR) and visual flight rules (VFR) are the basic rules used when providing ATC service. IFR conditions exist when weather conditions are below the minimum for flight under visual flight rules. During IFR conditions, an air traffic controller is responsible for providing prescribed separation between aircraft. VFR conditions exist at an airport when the reported ceiling is 1000 ft or higher, and the visibility is three statute miles or greater. Visual approaches are authorized to an airport when VFR conditions exist and may be used at the discretion of ATC. Under visual approach procedures, the flight deck crew is primarily responsible for maintaining separation from other aircraft. Consequently, separation between aircraft can be reduced and a greater airport flow rate is usually achieved. It is noteworthy that some terminal areas operate more efficiently using IFR procedures most of the time even when VFR procedures could be used. This type of operation is essentially due to the complexity of those areas and the need to have a more orderly flow of traffic. Most terminal areas operate more efficiently when they are able to use visual approach procedures. When employed, IFR procedures can have a delaying effect on the flow of traffic and the airport flow rate will be reduced.
The data sheet for each airport includes the following information: 1. Airport: Location, name, and three letter identifier. 2. Hub airlines: The airlines that use that airport as a hub. 3. Airport average daily operations: The overall average air traffic departures and arrivals for each day using FY 1997 data. This is not for the peak traffic day. 4. Spacing between parallel runway centerlines: The distance in feet between each set of parallel runways. When the distance is more than 4300 ft a plus sign (4300 ft +) is added. 5. Type of radar system used at the airport: Most airports use the ASR-9 radar with digitized radar data. 6. Type and number of tower radar displays: The Digital Brite Radar Indicator Tower Equipment (DBRITE) is used at most towers and is compatible with the ASR-9. 7. Number of local control positions: Tower positions that clear aircraft to land and takeoff and separate aircraft under their control. 8. TRACON serving airport: The radar approach control facility providing radar service for arriving and departing aircraft at that airport. TRACON arrival control positions: Positions that provide sequencing and clearance for an instrument approach to the airport. They hand off aircraft on final approach to the tower local controller. TRACON final monitor positions: During instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) they monitor precision instrument approaches to the runway to ensure a safe landing. 9. Weather conditions below which instrument approaches are required: A ceiling andor visibility minimum where aircraft cannot see the airport or traffic to conduct a visual approach, and must use an instrument approach procedure. 10. Usual or preferred flow of traffic: The normal landing and departure configuration for that airport. 11. Airport flow rate: The number of arrivals the airport can safely and efficiently handle during an hour. The rates shown are for optimum visual conditions. As the weather deteriorates this rate will usually decrease. 2
12. Arrival delay factors: Delays normally occur due to weather affecting air traffic procedures andor volume of traffic. Airports using two runways during visual meteorological conditions (VMC) may have to use only one runway during instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). Note: For example, at times due to weather factors and capacity limitations at destination airports, flights will absorb delays on the ground before departure rather than by holding in flight. Related to this, when departure aircraft are not released from their gates because of delays then arriving airfcraft inbound to their gates will be delayed. 13. Remarks: Any other data that may be a factor at that airport. An airport diagram showing the overall airport configuration accompanies each data sheet. The airport diagrams are copied from the U.S. Government Flight Information Publication (Terminal), published by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, September-November 1997. Table 1 presents a list of U.S. airports with parallel runways 450 ff or more apart and is sorted by the lateral spacing between the runway centerlines. This report is not intended to serve as an all inclusive authoritative document, but simply as a resource for the researcher. Airport operational characteristics continually evolve and any research should take this into account by insuring that the data being used is based on the most current information available. 3

DISTRIBUTION CODE 13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 wor_) This report presents information on a number of airports in the country with parallel runways and focuses on those that have at least one pair of parallel runways closer than 4300 ft. Information contained in the report describes the airport's current operational activity as obtained through contact with the facility and from FAA air traffic tower activity data for FY 1997. The primary reason for this document is to provide a single source of information for research to determine airports where Airborne Information for Lateral Spacing (AILS) technology may be applicable.!14. SUBJECT TERMS Closely spaced parallel runways; Air traffic control; Terminal approach control facility; Airport diagram; Airborne information for lateral spacing 17.
