... 29 C H A P T E R 4 This chapter provides guidance on the recommended level of DDFS detail, specifically regarding the airline, aircraft, market, gate assignment, and passenger load elements. These elements depend on the type of airport facility being analyzed, the planning tools used, and the likelihood of follow-on DDFS analysis.

... 30 Guidebook for Preparing and Using Airport Design Day Flight Schedules passenger elements are critical. However, aircraft movements are also important for determining gate requirements.

... Which Elements Need to Be Included in a DDFS 31 • Table 4.3 Required DDFS Elements: Terminal Building Analysis -- Passenger Arrival Facilities and Other Facilities • Table 4.4 Required DDFS Elements: Landside Analysis • Table 4.5 Required DDFS Elements: Environmental Analysis • Table 4.6 Required DDFS Elements: Operations and Management More detail on the application of individual DDFS elements (first described in Chapter 2) and depicted on Exhibit 2.1: to airside, terminal, landside, and environmental analyses, as well as operations and management, is provided below.

... 32 Guidebook for Preparing and Using Airport Design Day Flight Schedules essential. Some flights will represent the first departure or last arrival of the day and the aircraft will remain overnight at a gate or remote hardstand.

... Which Elements Need to Be Included in a DDFS 33 and the turnaround time is low. At congested airports, arrivals delays are likely to translate to departure delays and aircraft pairing becomes essential.
From page 34...
... 34 Guidebook for Preparing and Using Airport Design Day Flight Schedules Flight Time: Flight time is a core element of any DDFS and is a required element. Day of Week: Some DDFS applications are run for multiple days and require the day of the week associated with each flight.
From page 35...
... Which Elements Need to Be Included in a DDFS 35 Gate requirements and staffing requirements vary by day of the week and therefore the day of the week associated with each flight is required. Airline Designation: An airline designation is not essential, but can be useful for organizing and sorting results and for determining gate or parking assignments.
From page 36...
... 36 Guidebook for Preparing and Using Airport Design Day Flight Schedules profiles. These differing profiles can also affect the sizing of terminal and landside facilities used by both domestic and international passengers.
From page 37...
... Which Elements Need to Be Included in a DDFS 37 RON Designation: A RON designation indicates whether a gated aircraft departs to or arrives from a remote hardstand. This information is essential for gate or RON analysis as it determines which of the two aircraft parking alternatives will be required for the aircraft.
From page 38...
... 38 Guidebook for Preparing and Using Airport Design Day Flight Schedules are still useful as an intermediate step in calculating O&D traffic. Numbers of enplaning or deplaning passengers on each flight do not need to be identified for environmental analysis, but the information can be indirectly useful to estimate O&D passenger flows and resultant ground vehicle flows.
