Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of civil aviation industry, new airport is necessary to plan and construct to the increasing demand for civil aviation. Current parallel runway instrument approach regulations require that divergence angle established between two go-around tracks of independent parallel approach must be larger than 30 degrees. Restricted by the above regulations, Chengdu New Airport runway configuration is with V-opening runway which not only causes the waste of airspace resources, but also causes various difficulties in actual operation. In this paper the equivalent lateral spacing operation (ELSO) is used to V-opening runway to improve airspace efficiency. Firstly, the paper analyzes the drawbacks of Chengdu new airport operation based on the current regulations. Secondly, the concept of ELSO is introduced to establish the divergence angle model of the parallel runway. The ELSO mode at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is summarized. Finally, based on the runway configuration of Chengdu New airport, the improvement of airspace efficiency under ELSO is given.
