2016 CBA Tentati ve Agreement Page 161 of 217 A. Each IFR/SVFR arrival, departure or VFR practice instrument approach count is given a weig ht of 1.50. B. Each VFR itinerant or local arrival or departure count is given a weight of 1.00. C. The hourly counts for (A) and (B) are added together to obtain the combined arrival and departure count at the primary airport. D. This combined itinerant and loc al hourly operations count (C) is then multiplied by a runway factor: 1. 1.15 if the airport has crossing runways. 2. 1.10 if the airport has converging runways. 3. 1.05 if the airport has a single runway, including parallel runways that are separated by 2500 fe et or less. 4. 1.00 if the airport has parallel runways. (Note: If two or more configurations exist at one airport, the highest multiplier shall be used; if a runway is not in a commissioned status as defined in the Airport/Facilities Directory it should no t be considered in determining runway configuration.) (Note: Converging runway factor shall be applied to all facilities with: 1. More than 500,000 annual tower operations; 2. A proximity of five (5) or less miles to an airport with an air traffic contr ol tower; 3. Extended runway centerlines between the adjacent facilities converge; 4. Procedures to maintain the control for departure release from the subordinate airport; and 5. The obligation to provide separation services for traffic departing both th e primary and subordinate airports.) E. Each IFR/SVFR overflight count is given a weight of 1.25. F. Each VFR overflight count is given a weight of 1.00. G. The hourly counts for (D), (E) and (F) are added together to obtain the average weighted hourly count. H. F or each day, and the prior 364 days (i.e. use a 365 - day count), calculate the percent that military air traffic comprises of total air traffic. Divide that percent figure by four, and then multiply by the average weighted hourly count derived in (G). This will yield the military add - on count. (Example: The military air traffic count equals 20% of the total air traffic count; (G) = 100). The formula is: (.2 / 4 = .05 x 100 = 5) Note: The military mix calculations shall be based on automated capabilities; h owever, where automated capabilities are not available the most recent yearly APO/OPSNET data
