... preparation of Design Day profiles 47 As noted in Chapter 2, the peak passenger impact on many terminal and landside facilities occurs at a different time than the enplanement and deplanement peaks. Enplaning passengers will stress these facilities for a period of time prior to scheduled aircraft departure while deplaning passengers will stress these facilities for a period of time after aircraft arrival.

... 48 preparing peak period and Operational profiles -- Guidebook In this case, an environmental planner needs to quickly estimate future airport vehicular traffic for air quality dispersion analysis. After coordination between the planner, the FAA, and local air agency, it was agreed that because the pollutant of concern focused on the frequency that an air quality standard is exceeded, a dispersion analysis would be conducted for the design day of the facility.

... 52 preparing peak period and Operational profiles -- Guidebook After reviewing the analysis, the Airport Director asks whether a change in security procedures could affect the arrival distribution sufficiently to change the results. Since future security procedures and their impacts on arrival distributions are difficult to predict, the planner and the planner's staff meet and use their professional judgment to develop a wide range of potential lead distributions for scenario testing.
