In August of 2002, the Office of System Capacity (ASC) was contacted to assist Phoenix Sky Harbor Air Traffic Control Tower (PHX-ATCT) in an evaluation of delay impacts caused by the reconstruction of Runway 7L/25R scheduled for January of 2003. The Office of System Capacity asked the Modeling and Analysis Group of the FAA Technical Center to apply their fast-time computer modeling techniques to analyze the ground movement implications of the reconstruction. The reconstruction of Runway 7L/25R is to be accomplished in several phases: Phase 1 was the preparation work for the reconstruction with the work being accomplished without major runway impacts; Phase 2 requires the complete closure of runway 7L/25R with only limited taxiways available for crossing the construction zone: Phase 3 occurs when a portion of Runway 7L/25R becomes available for aircraft use. This report addresses only Phase 2 - the complete closure of Runway 7L/25R.
