Aerodrome Master Planning & Design Principles - Part I

Airport Master Planning is always driven by the parameters required for efficient & safe airport operations associated with regulatory & security requirements. All these aspects are closely inter-woven & hugely impact each other. The Airport planning embraces infrastructure elements having diversified functions & integration of all such elements for optimized utilization is an Art. This book is aimed to provide you all such tools & broad framework for development of the Airport Master plan adopting pragmatic approach.        The subject of Airport Master Planning is quite exhaustive requiring patience & skilled knowledge about the airport infrastructure to suffice  aircraft operational needs coupled with regulatory requirements and the dynamics of the industry & traffic forecast. The overall study on Airport Master Planning has been categorised into 11 different volumes since various elements of airport infrastructure has diversified role to play & all such elements needs to be integrated for overall evaluation & conclusion to finalize the most efficient technically feasible & economically viable Airport Master Plan. This book explains the basic principles and critical parameters for airport master planning & design for safe and efficient airport operations.  This book provides adequate knowledge to get ready with systematic process for preparation of Airport Master plan & Development plan for expansion of existing airports as well for Greenfield Airports.
