    AIRPORT IN SPATIAL PLANNING

    STRATEGIES & INTRODUCTION TOAIRPORT PLANNING

    Spatial planning goes beyond traditional land use planning to bring together and

    integrate policies for the development and use of land with other policies and

    programmes which influence the nature of places and how they function.

    Aerodrome:Any area of land, water (including the frozen surface

    thereof) or other supporting surface used, designed, prepared,equipped or set apart for use either in whole or in part for the

    arrival, departure or surface movement of aircraft.

    Aerodrome or airport?

    whats the difference?

    Certified aerodromes are referred to as airports.

    Types of Aerodromes

    Aerodromes are grouped into number of groups depending on

    number of factors

    Use : Civil Aerodromes/ Military Aerodromes/ Joint User

    Aerodromes

    Landing Surface : Land Aerodromes/ Water Aerodromes/

    Heliports,

    Infrastructure: Airports/ Aerodromes/ Landing Pads/Strips,

    Nature of Traffic : Domestic / International,(passenger/cargo)

    Nature of Surface : Paved runway / unpaved runway

    Aerodrome reference point

    Aerodrome Reference Point: (ARP) is the notional centre point of an airport, located at the

    geometric centre of all the usable runways, and its height is determined by the aeronautical

    authorities of the country. Its height is usually one of the most elevated point of the runways

    in use or one of the lowest points. The ARP is used as the reference to the altitude for the

    airport obstacle limitation surfaces.

    Runway Requirements

    Dimensional Criteria Based on the ICAO

    Coding system known as the Airport

    Reference Code (ARC).

    Orientation RWY orientation is primarily

    a function of wind coverage requirements for

    the existing and projected aircraft fleet. This

    analysis is used to determine if additional

    runways are needed to provide the necessary

    wind coverage. Existence of

    obstructions and Physical features, in

    approach and departure routes should also

    be considered in determining runway

    orientation.

    A wind rose is a diagram that shows the distribution of

    wind directions and speeds at a specific location over a

    specified time period.

    Usability factor. The percentage oftime during which the use of a

    runway or system of runways is not

    restricted because of the cross-

    wind component

    Runway requirementsLength the selection of an appropriate designaircraft and the longest nonstop distance tobe flown by the design aircraft from theairport. Aircraft-specific runway lengthrequirements are a function of aircraft

    physical characteristics at time of flight,weather conditions, and runway conditions.

    Width The required width of a runway is afunction of the approach minimums,airplane approach category, and airplanedesign using the runway

    In some countries, the manoeuvring area or movement area is the part used by

    aircraft only for landing and takeoffand does not include the airport ramp. The

    terms are used differently in the United States and Canada.

    Movement area in an aerodrome is to be used for the take-off, landing and

    taxiing of aircraft, consisting of the manoeuvring area and the apron(s).

    Security Considerations

    Planning for security early in the

    development process canproduce designs that

    accommodate security

    requirements in a more efficient,

    less costly, and less intrusive

    manner.

    However, specific measures for

    implementing security

    requirements will vary in

    response to shifting threats,

    evolving technology, and the

    physical and operationalcircumstances of individual

    Sydney Airport Noise contours

    Sydney is one of the oldest continually

    operating airports in the world. The city

    of Sydney has slowly grown around the

    airport over the years, with many

    people now living directly under the

    flight path. During the week you mightbe able to feel the windows rattle as a

    747 thunders in to land. The curfew

    from 11pm until 6am does help,

    however airlines are allowed to break

    the curfew (for a fee) and of course a

    curfew is not guaranteed to stand

    forever - a Sydney resident

    The Environmental Impact of

    Airports

    The main environmentalimpact categories:

    Noise

    EmissionsWater pollution and use

    Waste and energy

    managementWildlife, heritage, and

    landscape

    The Greener skies program is being tested atsome airports. It is estimated that the new

    technology will be able to cut down on

    carbon emissions by 22,000 metric

    tons/year = taking 4,100 cars off the road.

    It will also downgrade noise pollution.

    REGIONAL SETTING AND LAND USE Examine the regional setting of an airport and the land use patterns around

    it. Airport planning can extend well beyond the airport property line.

    Check the boundaries of the airport and jurisdiction over the operation ofthe airport and adjacent land uses.

    Collect documents such as official maps, the latest land use and

    transportation plan, applicable municipal zoning controls, height zoning

    ordinances, noise overlay zones

    Identify land that will be exposed to airport operations. Land use is acontinuously changing process, particularly in urban environments. Collect

    information on planned and proposed land uses, as well as on existing uses.

    Identify land that may affect the safe operation of the airport or influence its

    expansion. Structures that could obstruct air navigation is of safety concern.

    Identify areas near the airport that may represent a potential hazard toaircraft, such as flood control areas, stockyards, and sanitary landfills.

    Use geographic maps, aerial photographs, topographical maps, obstruction

    charts, aeronautical charts, approach plates and other mapping tools to

    examine and display land use details.

    The alternatives analysis processshould start with a broad group ofalternatives for the primaryelements and progressively screenthem to produce reasonable

    alternatives that meet the planningneed

    The alternatives should addressthose airport elements that are thefocus of the particular master plan(airside, airline passenger terminal,or ground access) and de-

    emphasize functional elements thatare less important to the airportsoverall function.

    Wake Vortex (W turbulence) Factor in Safety-Capacity

    75/91

    Wake Vortex (W turbulence) Factor in Safety-Capacity

    Single RWY hazards Forms behind an aircraft as it passes through the

    air

    Wingtip vortices are gases expelled from a jet

    engine

    Wingtip vortices can remain in the air for up to

    three minutes after the passage of an aircraft

    Especially hazardous during LDG and T/O:

    (1) During T/O & LDG, a/c operate at low speeds

    and high angle of attack . (This attitude maximizes

    the formation of dangerous wingtip vortices)

    (2) T/O & LDG are the times when a plane is

    operating closest to its stall speed and to the

    ground (little margin for recovery in the event of

    encountering another aircraft's wake turbulence)

    (3) A/c close together and along the same

    flightpath, maximizing the chance of encountering

    the phenomenon.

    area that we have available to us in Sri

    Lankan airfields.

    Puttalam RWY

    Puttalam was under DCA in 1946.

    It had a gravel runway and RAF replaced

    it by a tar macadam strip duringoccupation. It was used as an emergency

    runway and for cross-country flights by

    trainee pilots. CAA lost Puttalam RWY

    An airport is a stimulus to a society in terms of

    These benefits may be negated if compatibility

    surrounding regions. But the areas are not used for major urban and international

    aviation businesses. The economic importance and the limited space around both

    these airfields require national co-ordination. Eg: KIA can be developed further at its

    current location while RML is restricted. Not many aviation related businesses andoffices are located in the immediate vicinity of KIA or RML.

    With the perception that new urban areas should not be built under frequently used

    flight paths, if KIA is to be further developed, no new housing locations should be

    allowed under the flight path and the Katunayake Katana areas. Consideration of noise

    contours within and beside the runway system is another factor.
