In this class, you have been studying airport design including airside and landside portions of an airport. For your research report, you were to construct your own airport. Your paper should have:

•   a table of contents,

•   abstract,

•   description of the airport,

•   drawings of your final airport layout design, and

•   a summary.

References and current APA format should be used. Follow closely the criteria provided. Your Research Report is worth 100 points and 20% of your final grade.

Content Requirements:

You have been designated by the FAA to come up with a plan for the development of a runway (or multiple runways) and corresponding taxiways for new traffic that will be starting soon in your metropolitan area. You have the following specifics required for design and development:

Prevailing winds:

093 degrees

75% of time

140 degrees

20% of time

Calm

Rest of time

Type of Aircraft:

767-300ER is the largest

Obstructions:

Compost 3 miles east of airport

Elevation of Field - 832'

Rain 200 days a year

Airside Operations: Construct the best number of runways and taxiways and other airside facilities needed for your airport. Be precise in your choice for lengths and widths for your airport. Include all airside facilities, including fire rescue, tower, etc.

Landside Operations: Complete your airport design by adding all the landside operations. This includes, but is not limited to, a terminal, an aircraft parking scheme, passenger parking, and airport access. Car rental and intermodal transportation accessibility (rail, highway) would be placed in this section.

The Research Report will be graded using the associated rubric.
