Example text
Airfield, especially APOD, throughput capacity can be reduced by several conditions that limit maximum landing weights. These include hot and wet weather, high altitude airfields, relatively short runways, or effective runway length limited by damage. Additionally, airfields can be restricted to certain operating hours by risk conditions, or poor weather can lead to instrument flight rule conditions. Such conditions can also lead to flight crew limitations, such as nighttime flying into high-risk areas, restricting available flight crews to those who are night vision goggle qualified.
Additionally, avoiding the need to refuel limits the need for resources at the APOD and reduces APOD ground time, where the threat conditions may be high. Beyond fueling, maintenance would be deferred, to the extent possible, for execution at enroute bases or APOEs. Therefore, the enroute location at Rota Air Base (AB) is known as a recovery base. The numbers on the links between air bases indicate the distance in nautical miles and rough estimates of the C-17 flight times for these distances (not accounting for wind).
This will be discussed further in the throughput capacity section of Chapter Three and in the recommendations. The second throughput factor is airfield use limitations that limit hours or landing frequency. In our analysis, we generally assume no restrictions on either aspect, although the effect of limited airfield operating hours will be shown. Utilizing Node Throughput Capacity Three factors affect the ability to use the entire throughput potential of a node: the number of aircraft available, how well aircraft and flight crews can be scheduled and synchronized, and the number of flight crews with the necessary qualifications given any restrictions associated with the employed airfields.
