The study of air operations included an extensive analysis of alternative development timing. The analysis made use of fast-time computer simula- tions of the selected pilot layout, both in its one- runway initial configuration and in the developed two-runway scheme. In simple terms, the model simulated the movement of aircraft from a common point on the approach path to a destination on the airport and then from that position to takeoff. A 1995 busy day schedule (Figure 12) was developed as part of the forecasting task to operate the model. The description of the airport for the model is shown in Figure 13.

The runs performed with the fast-time simulation model led to several hypotheses about the timing of development options. In one simulation, the initial Phase I single-runway airport was deliber- ately overloaded; the results indicated that the scheme would be superior to the Kai Tak Airport and, most important, that it could operate well beyond its calculated capacity with only moderate levels of delay. The developed two-runway airport could handle all of the projected 1995 demand, as expected, with considerable unused capacity. The significant result of the simulation was a clear indication that there may be opportunities to defer development of a second runway. The Consultants recommend a thorough review of development timing options for the second runway during the Master Plan activity.
