16 C H A P T E R 3 This chapter provides guidance on when to apply DDFSs. The chapter initially provides general guidance and then more specific guidance on when it is appropriate to prepare a DDFS to address airfield, terminal, landside, environmental, and operational and management issues.

When Should DDFSs Be Used 17 airline connecting banks imposes specific requirements on gates and runway capacity that often necessitate a detailed schedule to fully evaluate. In addition, the O&D versus connecting passenger split is very different for hubbing airlines versus airlines providing pointto-point service.

When Should DDFSs Be Used 19 3.2 Specific Guidance for Airside Planning The airside is defined as the runway, taxiway, and apron areas, along with facilities that directly support the airfield, such as aircraft rescue and firefighting and deicing facilities. Table 3.2 summarizes when a DDFS should be used for airside planning, including types of airport facilities, types of tools that can be used to analyze or plan these facilities, whether or not a DDFS is required to support these tools, and the alternatives to a DDFS that can be used.

When Should DDFSs Be Used 21 Standards FAA standards for runway and taxiway design are based on annual measures of airport activity such as total operations and operations by aircraft design group. Therefore, planning to meet FAA airfield standards does not require simulation modeling or preparation of a DDFS.

22 Guidebook for Preparing and Using Airport Design Day Flight Schedules There are four main categories listed in the table, including gates, departing passenger facilities, arriving passenger facilities, and other terminal facilities. ACRP Report 25: Airport Passenger Terminal Planning and Design, Volumes 1 and 2 http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/acrp/acrp_ rpt_025v1.pdf provides additional guidance on planning tools for determining terminal facility requirements.

When Should DDFSs Be Used 23 involving a DDFS should be considered if new activity is expected that would affect the intensity of gate use, if changes in lease terms would affect how airlines share gates, or if expansion would be costly. Departing Passenger Facilities Departing passenger facilities consist of ticketing facilities, security screening, baggage makeup areas, and holdrooms that serve departing passengers.

24 Guidebook for Preparing and Using Airport Design Day Flight Schedules • For conceptual long-term planning, which will not lead to design or construction without additional planning closer to the implementation date, DDFSs are not required and peak period forecasts are usually sufficient. 3.4 Specific Guidance for Landside Planning The landside area is defined as the portion of the airport that provides ground access to the terminal building and airfield.

26 Guidebook for Preparing and Using Airport Design Day Flight Schedules planning, including the types of environmental impacts, the tools typically used to analyze the types of environmental impacts depending on the level of detail needed, and whether or not a DDFS is useful or required to use these tools. There are many additional environmental impact categories, such as historic and archaeological resources, fish and wildlife, endangered species, socioeconomic impacts, and hazardous materials, but their analyses are not dependent on measures of passenger or aircraft activity and, therefore, a DDFS is not required.

When Should DDFSs Be Used 27 single airport, the AEDT can be used to estimate aircraft noise impacts using average annual day aircraft operations segmented by day/night split, stage length, and aircraft type; therefore, a DDFS is not required. However, a DDFS can be used in conjunction with an airfield simulation model to estimate future aircraft delays that may affect noise results, which cannot be evaluated using a day/night split.
