... Chapter Title | 101 B Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Airport Case Studies Case Study Selection Criteria The goal of this team's case study research is to identify, select, and study projects that reflect the various types and sizes of airports in the NAS with direct relevancy to FAA NextGen program initiatives and airport planning. The research team's approach for this task was to: • Develop several screening criteria for the selection of candidate case studies, • Identify a preliminary set of candidate case study airports or projects to be considered based on the initial screening criteria, • Evaluate and weigh each candidate study, • Select final list of case study projects, and • Conduct the case studies for the guidebook.

... 102 | AIRPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Case Studies Selected Six cases were selected based on the criteria established as part of this research effort as follows: • Colorado Wide Area Multilateration Implementation, • Friedman Memorial Airport Required Navigational Performance Approach, • The New York John F Kennedy International Airport Collaborative Decision Making, • Newark Liberty International Airport Ground-Based Augmentation System, • San Francisco International Airport -- Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach, and • The Puget Sound Regional Council -- Preparing Busy Airports for NextGen Technology.

... 104 | AIRPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT • One of the benefits of the project is in promoting the ability of an airport sponsor to enter into an agreement with the FAA to develop and integrate emerging NextGen technology into an airport system. This program allowed airport sponsors to have a role in implementing the improvement.

... Appendix B: Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Airport Case Studies | 105 resolved. The FAA would have to change the rules in order to make that happen and they also face resource challenges, making it difficult to solve the problem.

... 106 | AIRPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT • A GBAS is sited to minimize critical areas, which places fewer restrictions on aircraft movement during ground taxi and air operations. • The GBAS approach guidance is steadier than ILS approach guidance and does not fluctuate.

... Appendix B: Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Airport Case Studies | 107 • Establishment of a successful technology-based program at an airport may lead to benefits at other airports. Additional capacity gained through NextGen may serve to delay the need for capital improvement projects.
