Title: Evaluating the Benefits of Satellite-Based Final Approaches in Aviation Using Statistical Techniques and Simplified Queueing Theory
Author(s): Nastaran Coleman*
Companies: Federal Aviation Administration
Keywords: Aviation ; Benefit ; queueing theory ; forecast
Abstract:

Flight level operational data for several airports from various sources, combined with forecasts of satellite-based procedures, air travel demand, fleet mix and onboard avionics are used as inputs to estimate procedure utilization rates and efficiency benefits. Evaluated efficiency benefits include shorter distances traveled, reductions in arrival delays resulting from increased predictability and time saved from not having to adjust speed during final approach merges. Simplified closed-form queueing theory equations are used to approximate the success rate of merging the final approach queue by a satellite-based procedure.
