Abstract

This work investigates the TRACON flow management around a major airport. Aircraft flows are analyzed through a study of TRACON trajectories records. Rerouting and queuing processes are highlighted and airport characteristics are shown as function of the number of planes in the TRACON. Then, a simple input-output TRACON queuing and landing model is proposed. This model is calibrated and validated using available TRACON data. It reproduces the same phenomenon as the real system. This model is used to show the impact of limiting the number of aircrafts in the TRACON. A limited number of aircraft does not increase delays but reduces the controller's workload and increases safety.
