The noise boundaries imposed by the Dutch government on Schiphol Amsterdam airport make it necessary to use special noise abatement procedures to accommodate the growing air traffic. These procedures are studied within the Technological Operational Measures Schiphol (TOMS). Unfortunately, a positive effect on noise expected from these measures does not mean a positive effect on the capacity of the airport. It is necessary to analyze this issue also. The purpose of this report is to examine the effect on the landing capacity of a dual threshold runway. This is a procedure where, due to the usage of an elevated final approach path above the primary path, the separations between the aircraft can be reduced. A positive effect on capacity can be obtained in this way. Also a smaller noise footprint is expected, because of the heightened route. To analyze the effect on capacity the dual threshold runway is investigated theoretically. Also it is implemented into the 'airport and airspace simulator' SIMMOD to test some scenarios quantitatively.
