Modeling the Impact of Communication and Human Uncertainties on Runway Capacity in Terminal Airspace

Published in Journal of Air Transport Management, 2026 · arXiv

Representative figure for this publication
The merging scenario behind the capacity study: straight in and downwind arrivals joining the final approach under communication and human response uncertainties.

Quantifies how pilot-controller communication delays and human response variability erode the runway throughput actually achievable in terminal airspace.
