The determination of runway length is critical for ensuring adequate airport size and stable operating conditions. This study aims to present a methodology for calculating the optimal length of the fifth runway at Incheon International Airport, considering the operating characteristics of the aircraft, airport conditions, and environmental factors. Domestic guidelines currently lack specificity in selecting design aircraft and applying aircraft weight standards, especially for large airports with multiple runways, posing a challenge for additional runway construction. This research conducts a case study on the length determination of Incheon International Airport's fifth runway, suggesting a procedure for large airports that takes into account various factors such as design aircraft selection, weight, and airfield characteristics. Our findings recommend an optimal runway length that accommodates all aircraft operating at the airport, ensuring efficient and economic expansion tailored to the future aviation landscape.

Airport operations are well-known as a bottleneck in the air traffic system, putting growing pressure on the world's busiest airports to schedule arrivals and departures as efficiently as possible. Effective planning and control are essential for increasing airport efficiency and reducing aircraft delays. Many algorithms for controlling the arrival/departure queuing area are handled, considering it as first in first out queues, where any available aircraft can take off regardless of its relative sequence with other aircraft. In the suggested system, this problem was compared to the problem of scheduling n tasks (plane takeoffs and landings) on a multiple machine (runways). The proposed technique decreases delays (via efficient runway allocation or allowing aircraft to be expedited to reach a scheduled time) to enhance runway capacity and decrease delays. The aircraft scheduling problem entails arranging aircraft on available runways and scheduling their landings and departures while considering any operational constraints. The topic of this work is the scheduling of aircraft landings and takeoffs on multiple runways. Each aircraft's takeoff and landing schedules have time windows, as well as minimum separation intervals between landings and takeoffs. We present and evaluate a variety of comprehensive concepts and solutions for scheduling aircraft arrival and departure times, intending to reduce delays relative to scheduled times. When compared to First Come First Serve scheduling algorithm, the suggested strategy is usually successful in reducing the average waiting time and average tardiness while optimizing runway use.

In this study, we surveyed the operating status of the Runway for the Light Sport Aircraft(LSA) in Korea, and analyzed the Airfield Facilities Manual for the Air Leisure and the Standard Specification for Recreational Airpark Design. Based on the information, we presented the displacement of the threshold concept, to ensure the Runway Length and the Runway Safety Area, and operation of LSA in Korea.

활주로 및 유도로는 항공기가 이착륙하기 위한 기본 시설로서, 활주로 처리 용량은 공항의 수용 능력을 결정하는 주요 지표 중 하나이다. 항공기의 활주로 점유 시간은 이러한 활주로 처리 용량에 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 활주로 점유시간 확인을 위해서는 공항의 지상 감시 항적자료를 분석하여 항공기가 사용한 유도로를 확인하고 각 지점의통과 시간을 측정하는 것이 일반적인 방법이다. 본 연구는 항공기에서 송신하는 ADS-B 메시지를 이용한 착륙 항공기의 활주로 점유 시간에 대한 연구로 착륙 항공기의 활주로 점유 시간에 대한 분석과 고속 탈출 유도로를 포함한 활주로 사용 이력에 대한 분석을 수행 하였다. 분석 결과 공항의 구조로 인하여 동일한 활주로를 사용할 때에도 착륙 방향과 항공기 등급에 따라 활주로 점유시간이 차이가 나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 분석된 활주로 점유시간은 항공교통시뮬레이션을 위한 기본 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서는 원형마크를 이용한 항공기와 활주로간의 새로운 거리측정시스템에 관한 내용이다. 이 시스템은 항공기에 카메라와 고도계를 장착하고 활주로에 원형마크가 있어야 한다. 항공기에 장착된 카메라는 반드시 항공기의 진행방향을 향하면서 원형마크를 영상이미지형태로 간파하여 이미 장착한 고도계의 고도값과 함께 비행조종컴퓨터가 항공기와 지상간의 각도, 항공기와 원형마크간의 지상거리, 그리고 기울기거리를 계산하여야 한다. 이 시스템은 무인기의 자동착륙에 사용될 수 있다.

A runway safety area (RSA) is defined as the surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway. The Runway Stripe is a defined area including the runway stopway, if provided, intended firstly to reduce the risk of damage to aircraft running off a runway, and secondly, to protect aircraft flying over it during takeoff or landing operations. This study used 2 RSA analysis models; RSARA and LRSARA. The analysis utilizes historical data from the specific airport and allows to take into consideration specific operational conditions to which movements are subject, as well as the actual or planned RSA conditions in terms of dimensions, configuration, and boundaries defined by existing obstacles. This study applied the RSA and LRSA risk assessment models to a domestic airport that do not meet the criteria required by standards for aerodrome physical characteristics. The airport is considering a method to secure the runway strip standard through the displaced threshold. This study intends to confirm through quantitative risk estimation whether meeting facility standards through the runway displaced threshold leads to a positive change in risk mitigation.

The effects of weather on aircraft operations are predominant. In particular, severe weather, such as fog, strong winds, rainfall and snow, can cause delays, diversion or cancellation of operations. Of these, fog is considered the main reason for restricting aircraft operations. Meanwhile, Precision instrument approach using instrument landing system(ILS) has allowed aircraft to land safely even in situations where visibility is limited. However, the precision instrument approach require not only the performance of the aircraft but also the enhancement of the runway. In November 2018, Gimpo international Airport raised the category of the runway 14R from CAT-IIIa to CAT-IIIb to improve aviation safety and operational efficiency. Based on this, the research presented a methodology for estimating benefits according to the category upgrade of the precision approach runway, and estimated the benefits to Gimpo International Airport based on the methodology presented.

According to the accident/incident reports of aircraft runway overruns and excursions, it generally shows runway friction reduction and aircraft braking capability deterioration are the basic causes due to adverse weather. Although surface of paved runway gets wet, it also should give good friction capability. If runway surface is worn due to long time usage and friction capability is reduced due to rubber accumulation or weather conditions(snow, rain, ice etc.), airport authorities should rapidly measure friction coefficient and give them to relevant persons through aeronautical information system and support safe takeoff and landing. Operation wise, these information of friction coefficient reduction should be lead to aircraft performance adjustments, but the data from manufacturer(performance manual) are airplane braking coefficient and the data from airport authorities are vehicle measured braking coefficient. But these two data are considered as the same meaning although the definite relationship between them is not clarified yet. So I am trying to search for the technical background of these two data and suggest reasonable method to use them efficiently.

An Analysis of wind is essential for planning runway direction. As a general rule, the principal traffic runway at an airport should be oriented as closely as practicable in the direction of the prevailing wind. Aircraft are able to maneuver on a runway as long as the wind component at right angles to the direction of landing and taking-off, the cross wind component, is not excessive. ICAO recommends that runway be oriented so that aircraft may be landed at least 95% of the time with allowable cross wind components not exceeding specified limits based upon the airport reference field length. Based on the recommendation, the direction of the runway or runways at an airport can be determined through graphical vector analysis on wind rose. This study is to develop the wind-rose software for planning the optimum runway direction at an airport with the raw wind data based on reliable wind distribution statistics that extend over as long as a period as possible, preferably of not less than 5 years.
