Abstract:

The growth in demand for civil aviation requires assurance of the airspace capacity. In 2013, with the implementation of“Jing-Kun one-way circulation large-capacity channel”, the research of one-way route has become a hotspot, one of the controversial issues is whether the one-way route has a significant effect for enhancing the capacity. Starting from the definition of route capacity and considering the safe separation distance, impact of intersection and terminal area, an en route operating capacity model is built. Using actual values, the ‘Jing-Kun largecapacity channel'one-way and mixed-way operation capacity values are calculated and compared. The study provides a theoretical base for the adjusting plan of en route network being implemented.

Key words: route planning, en route operating capacity, one-way route, Jing-Kun large-capacity channel
