Course Objectives To enable Students to have basic knowledge on airport planning and design, the impacts and relations of ownership and management type , the role of airport in its region and the expectations of airport stakeholders on airport planning and design.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students can understand airport development plans by learning Obstacle Limitation Surfaces which determine the Flight Safety and Land Use Relations.
  • They can apply the knowledge learnt on Runway, Taxiway and Apron configuration relations and design on the projects.
  • They can learn basic principles essential to architectural design and mutual impacts of cost and level of surface on terminal sizing. They can learn basic capacity calculation techniques of Runways, Taxiways and Aprons.
  • They can learn how the impacts of Airport Economy, Ownership and Management Type and Environmental Issues influence Airport Planning and Design.
Course Content Air transportation, planning of physical elements of airport, design principles, airport planning types, airport economics, environmental impacts of airports, ownership and management types.
