- 5 to 10% increase of runway throughput?
- An additional landing per hour?
- Insight in your runway throughput performance?
- An overview of the bottlenecks in the runway throughput at your airport?
- Increased accuracy in separation delivery?
- Information on the potential benefits of new concepts for safe separation, such as RECAT and TBS?
- A Safety Case to deploy a new separation concept?
NLR is and has been working on understanding and improving runway throughput for many years. Our track record includes:
- Benefits analysis for Schiphol mainport
- Development and validation of concepts like RECAT and TBS in SESAR research projects.
- Review of RECAT-EU under contract to EASA
- Involved in EUROCONTROL Wake Vortex Task Force
- Survey of the current practice of separation delivery at major European airports (under contract to EUROCONTROL)
- Development of structure and guidance material for a local RECAT Safety Case (as part of SESAR)
- Development of runway throughput performance dashboard
