This report is designed to provide airport leaders an understanding of design day flight schedules (DDFS) and their uses, while at the same time provide airport staff and consultants with detailed information on how to prepare one. DDFS are used at airports for a number of different purposes, including the planning and programming of airport operations and facilities, airfield and landside modeling, and construction phasing, among others. In addition to a number of inputs, the assumptions that are also used must be well understood by users to fully understand the analysis from the results. Also, like any forecast, uncertainty is inherent in DDFS, and this uncertainty must be recognized and managed. While DDFS are used routinely in the industry, there are not consistent methods for the development and use of them. One of the purposes of this guidebook is to ensure that users and preparers are fully aware of the advantages and potential pitfalls associated with DDFS. By understanding the assumptions incorporated into and the information generated from a DDFS, airport decision makers can communicate more effectively with the person or persons preparing the DDFS, the scope, and the results. This guidebook discusses the many different projects where a DDFS can best achieve the objective in planning and simulation modeling.
