Additional Investigations in Landing Process of Aircraft: Test Distributions

摘要

The landing times for the 10 German civil airports, without waiting times due to aircraft allocations to holding areas, were investigated using a simulation model for the landing process. Test distributions were developed. Results are synthetic landing time distributions with waiting times, the adaptation of which to the empirical landing time distribution was evaluated using the Chi-square test. Further improvements of the adaptation of the simulated distribution to the empirical one can be obtained by structural changes of the test distribution, e.g., by limitation of the maximum landing time.
