47 This chapter provides recommendations for delay and capacity analyses methods and metrics to use at particular phases during airport development. A very direct, logical, and quantifiable relationship exists between capacity, demand, and delays, depicted in Figure 4-1.

48 A second important variable in determining the need for more detail and sophistication in capacity and delay analysis revolves around the type of airport being studied. Major hub airports need a more detailed capacity and delay analysis, typically involving computer simulation, to help define project benefits and delay savings and to support good financial resources to fund these activities.

51 – Primary airports are commercial service airports that have more than 10,000 passenger boardings each year. Hub categories for primary airports are defined as a percentage of total passenger boardings within the United States in the most current calendar year ending before the start of the current fiscal year.

53 Delay thresholds truly need to be customized to the airport's operations. When the traffic demand pattern has sharp peaks, such as at connecting hub airports, the maximum delays or variances can be quite high.
