Airports and their associated air traffic pose a potential hazard and environmental impact to the public near such facilities. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) projects that US carrier flights will increase about 3 percent per year over the new decade and commuter flights will experience similar growth. Risks due to aviation traffic near ground facilities have been historically low and determined in the past principally by generic studies and assessments. However, these assessments can be significantly improved by using actual air traffic patterns at specific airports combined with airport specific ground structure and population data. The model and methodology for performing such airport-specific risk assessment is demonstrated for the Salt Lake International Airport (SLIA) near Salt Lake City, Utah. The model uses a computer code called ACRA (Aircraft Crash Risk Assessment) supported by a Geographical Information System (GIS) to provide a complete, facility specific assessment system. Because aircraft crashes, even those involving general aviation, are very low probability events, probabilistic risk analysis is used to develop realistic risk estimates using the supporting and background information (both specific and generic) as available. The data bases, the GIS and ACRA's manipulation of the data to perform quantitative risk assessment is demonstrated for SLIA.
