From page 50...
... 50 C H A P T E R 4 Conclusions Methods for estimating aircraft operations and methods for counting airport operations were studied under this research. The conclusions are presented separately for each of these research items.
From page 51...
... 51 two weeks per season will most likely be needed to adequately cover variations in activity by day of week, weather, and season (see the next section for research completed on sampling sizes and timeframes)
From page 52...
... 52 700 feet of a point perpendicular to the aircraft's point of rotation (lift-off point) and flight path.
From page 53...
... 53 Also like the AAC, use of the counters on an airport with multiple runways is very difficult because of double counting, various wind conditions, and numerous possible rotation points. SMAC Highlights.
From page 54...
... 54 operations and registration numbers. This is time consuming at a busy airport.
From page 55...
... 55 ADS-B, this technology will not provide a reasonably accurate way to count an airport's traffic. VID and ADS-B Transponder Receiver Highlights.
From page 56...
... 56 Toward the end of this research project, an inquiry was received from a company with a new type of technology for counting aircraft. The technology monitors the airport Unicom frequency and uses automated speech recognition to identify and record airport traffic.
