2016 CBA Tentative Agreement Page 209 of 217 5 (TERMI NAL) Add Special Use Airspace to the Approach Control complexity formula. Revise the Special Use Airspace definition to include Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace (ATCAA), IFR Military Training Routes, and IFR Refueling Tracks. The recommended weightin g of these operations for Approach Control's is 1.0. The recommended language is as follows: o Each IFR/SVFR arrival (including IFR cancellations) and IFR/SVFR aircraft terminating ATC services upon entry into Special Use Airspace is given a weight of 1.0 o Each IFR/SVFR departure (including IFR air files) and IFR/SVFR aircraft receiving ATC services upon leaving Special Use Airspace is given a weight of 1.0. o Special Use Airspace (SUA) – Airspace where activities must be confined or limitations may be imposed on aircraft operations. For the purpose of this standard, the SUA airspace types included are: Alert Area, Controlled Firing Area, Military Operations Area, Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace (ATCAA), Prohibited Area, Restricted Area, IFR Milita ry Training Routes, and IFR Refueling Tracks. 6 (TERMINAL) Change the definition for Proximity Airports Each facility: If it has 150,000 or more annual itinerant operations and is within 10 miles of other airports with 150,000 or more annual itinerant operations = 2.5%. If it has 200,000 or more annual itinerant operations and is within 15 miles of other airports with 200,000 or more annual itinerant operations = 1.5%. If it has 300,000 or more annual itinerant operations and is within 20 miles of other airports with 300,000 or more annual itinerant operations = 0.75%. Where multiple values may apply, use the single highest applicable value. Change the glossary definition to the following: Proximity Airports - To be counted as a proximity airport, an airport must have at least 150,000 itinerant operations per year and must have one or more additional airports within 10 miles (center of airport to center of airport) that also have 150,000 itinerant operations or more per year, or an airport must have at least 200,000 itinerant operations per year and must have one or more additional airports within 15 miles (center of airport to center of airport) that also have 200,000 itinerant operations or more per year, or an airport must have at least 300,000 itine rant operations per year and must have one or more additional airports within 20 miles (center of airport to center of airport) that also have 300,000 itinerant operations or more per year . 7 (TERMINAL) Add a Ground Operations Complexity factor Prerequi site: Towers with Itinerant Airport Operations of 250,000 or more per year, 2,000 acres or less Runway Contained Surface Area and with regularly scheduled Group V and/or VI commercial operations. 3. Divide Yearly Total Operations by Runway Contained Surface Area. 4. Divide the resulting number in item 1 above by 10. The resulting figure is the ground complexity add - on. Example: 6. Airport ABC has 570,000 operations per year and 1,573 square acres for the Runway Contained Surface Area. The resulting number is 362.4. 7. Divide 362.4 by 10 and the add - on is 36.24. Runway Contained Surface Area – The total number of acres within a polygon created using runway ends as the vertices. Only those runway end points that encompass the land
