2. An airport has a single runway available to service arrivals and departures. The projected annual
demand in a future year is 220,000 operations. The aircraft mix is estimated to consist of 21 percent
small single engine, 20 percent small multiengine, 55 percent large commercial aircraft, and 4
percent heavy aircraft. Air carrier operations predominate at the airport and very few touch-and-go
operations occur.
Determine the annual service volume and average delay to aircraft for the single runway and for
closely spaced parallels which may be constructed. (5 marks)
MI = C+3D=55 + 3(4) = 67
From Table 12-9, the annual service volume for each runway is found from runway configuration
diagrams A and B with the mix index range of 51 to 80
Single-runway ASV = 205,000 operations
Close parallel-runway ASV = 260,000 operations
The ratios of annual demand to annual service volume are then computed for both situations as for
a single runway
Demand /ASV = = 220 000 /205 000= 1.07
and for close parallel runways

Page 4 of 5
 Demand /ASV = = 220 000 /260 000= 0.84
Using the upper half of the graph in Fig. 12-22, since this is an predominantly air carrier airport,
yields the average annual delay per aircraft. These values are for a single runway between 4.0 and
6.0 min per operation and for close parallel runways between 1.2 and 1.7 min per operation.

3. What are the functions of an airport drainage system? (3 marks)

1. Interception and diversion of surface and groundwater flow originating from
lands adjacent to the airport
2. Removal of surface runoff from the airport
3. Removal of subsurface flow from the airport
4. What are the vulnerabilities that will be documented in a confidential report that may be
organized? (2 marks)
These vulnerabilities will be documented in a confidential report that may be organized as follows:
• Deficiencies in planning
• Deficiencies in the coordination with local emergency responders
• Deficiencies in training
• Deficiencies in physical security—access control, surveillance, blast mitigation, chemical,
biological, or radioactive agent protection
