A study was made to determine the expected landing rate for STOL-only traffic and mixed STOL-CTOL traffic. The conditions used vary from present day standards to an optimistic estimate of possible 1985 conditions. A computer program was used to determine the maximum landing rate for the specified conditions and aircraft mix. The results show that the addition of STOL on a CTOL runway increases the total landing rate if the STOL airborne spacing can be reduced by use of improved navigation equipment. Further, if both takeoff and landings are performed on the same runway, the addition of STOL traffic will allow an increase in the total operation rate, even with existing spacing requirements.
