A critical element in relieving airport capacity constraints is to minimize longitudinal spacing between aircraft pairs that are in-trail on final approach. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has defined minimum separation standards that controllers need to follow when directing arrivals during instrument meteorological conditions. Excess Inter-Arrival Time (IAT) between arrivals may occur in addition to the FAA minimum separation standards. This excess time could be due to a number of factors including speed variations between the two aircraft in the arrival pair, pilot techniques, wind speeds and conservative air traffic management. The spacing and distribution of excess IAT between aircraft in instrument approach conditions is an important factor when modeling airport capacities.
