DYNAMIC AVIATION PLANNING TOOL
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented dynamic analysis tool for aviation planning, comprising:
- a computer processor;
a computer readable storage medium coupled to the computer processor;
memory coupled to the computer processor;
an existing conditions database coupled to the computer processor, the existing conditions database comprising existing conditions data selected from the group consisting of;
the physical facilities on the airport, the regional setting of the airport and surrounding land uses, the environmental setting of the airport, aviation forecasting baseline data, and airport business affairs;
program instructions to create an aviation planning scenario by accepting a user-selectable parameter associated with the existing conditions data;
program instructions to compute future growth forecast data of future levels of aviation activity in response to the user-selectable parameter;
program instructions to compute airport facility requirements needed to satisfy the user-selectable parameter by comparing the difference between the future growth forecast data and the existing conditions data; and
program instructions to create a dynamic airport layout plan graphically representing the facility requirements;
wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the computer processor.

Abstract
A method for airport dynamic aviation planning is disclosed. The method includes the steps of populating an existing conditions database comprising an inventory of existing conditions data at the airport, defining an aviation planning scenario with a graphical user interface by selecting input parameters, developing, by a processor, a future growth forecast comprising future levels of aviation activity at the airport in response to the selected input parameter, generating, by a processor, a facility requirements summary needed to satisfy the selected input parameter by comparing the difference between the future growth forecast and the existing conditions data, and generating, by a processor, a dynamic airport layout plan graphically representing the facility requirements.
