Geographical Situation

Neighbouring Aerodromes 8.2 NM 10.3 NM 10.5 NM 6.1 NM

Airspace Constraints 16 NM 8.5 NM

Effect of Alverca (LPAR) on Humberto Delgado Arrivals and Departures IFR Traffic: Blocks Departures Runway 03 and Runway 21 Blocks Arrivals Runway 21 and Runway 03 VFR Traffic (1000 feet traffic pattern) Blocks Departures Runway 03 Blocks Arrivals Runway 21 and Runway 03 (go around procedure!) Alverca Operations basically close Humberto Delgado and impact airport capacity

Effects on Traffic Arriving and Departing

Current Situation Example: Simulation for Runway 21

Future Constrained Situation Runway 21 With Point Merge Example: Simulation for Runway 21 – Possible Procedures

Possible Solutions

Possible Solutions Example: Simulation for Runway 21 – Possible Procedures

Possible Solutions Example: Simulation for Runway 03 – Possible Procedures

Impact on Restricted and Danger Areas R42B (Sintra): Reduced to 3500’ on eastern side Reduced to 4000’ on western side Possible to 6000’ (FL60) on northwest area D10 (Alcochete): Reduced to 8000’ (FL80) for normal operations R60A/B (Monte Real) 8NM Corridor in East Between FL100 and FL300 R26A (Montijo): 3000’ maximum R44A (Alverca): 1000’ Maximum? Other solution?

Conclusions Geographical Situation Constrained by Other Aerodromes Effects on Traffic Departing and Arriving Highly constrained – straight ahead departures only Small Sequencing Area – Runway 21 Possible Solutions Reduction of constraints – Restricted and Danger Areas New Departure and Arrival Procedures Allowing One Minute Between Departures Increased Need for Airspace Re-Organisation
