Abstract

The following is a survey and critique of the literature on airport capacity. It was originally written as a set of lecture notes for a university course on airport planning. The purpose is to describe, in as simple a way as possible, how the capacity of a runway configuration depends upon the strategy for sequencing various types of operations (heavy or light arriving or departing aircraft), the runway geometry, the instrument flight rules, etc.
