  1. Northeast Corridor Cost Benefit AssessmentStatus Mark Kipperman SAIC July 14, 2003

  2. Overview • Economic Information for Analysis • Operational Capabilities • Higher Volume Operations • Lower Landing Minimums • Single-Pilot Performance • En Route Procedures • Summary

  3. Economic Information for Analysis • Inflation and Discount Rates • Adjust to constant (fixed-year) dollars based on GDP price deflator • OMB guidance for time value of money (normally 7% annually) • Aircraft Values • Fixed/variable operating costs, replacement and restoration costs • General costs by aircraft category from FAA, specific costs from VA Tech & other models, Team Vision, internet sites, etc. • Passenger Values • Passenger value of time (PVT) significant in SATS analysis • Likely SATS users have higher average PVT than most air travelers • Life and Injuries Values • Used in calculating safety benefits • Avoided fatality valued at $2.7 million

  4. SATS Operational Capabilities • Higher Volume Operations • Lower Landing Minimums • Single-Pilot Performance • En Route Procedures

  5. Higher Volume Operations • Who Benefits? • Those already using (or projected to use) the airport: reduced flight time • Flights added because of HVO: reduced total travel time, ground transport costs • Flights at large airports: reduced congestion and delay • HVO Cost-Benefit Approach • Compare total O/D time, cost between large airports and SATS HVO airports • Estimate PVT for potential passengers • Estimate number of passengers/flights to use HVO airports; quantify savings • Estimate HVO-induced traffic/delay reduction at large airports • Needed HVO Data • “Real” origin-destination information for passengers at large airports • HVO airports with year of implementation • Cost/ travel time to large & HVO airports • PVT distribution of potential passengers • Forecast airport traffic and delays (FAA) • Untapped market; non-fliers who might fly because of HVO • Cost of equipment needed for HVO

  6. Lower Landing Minimums • Who benefits? • Aircraft & passengers using/projected to use the airport: avoided disruptions • Flights added due to LLM: reduced total travel time, ground transportation costs • Flights at large airports where traffic is reduced because of LLM at nearby airports: reduced congestion and delay • LLM Cost-Benefit Approach • Compare total O/D time and cost • Estimate distribution of PVT & number benefiting; quantify savings • Estimate reduction of traffic and delays at large airports • Estimate number of avoided disruptions due to LLM • Estimate distribution/benefits of avoided disruptions • Needed LLM Data • Same data for LLM airports as for HVO airports • Comparison of landing minimums with and without LLM • Airport/area weather data (% time below various ceiling/visibility combinations)

  7. Single-Pilot Performance (SPP),En Route Procedures (ER) • Benefits • Time and fuel savings • Reduced risk/severity of accidents (SPP) • ER similar to Free Flight for smaller aircraft • Approach • Compare accident and navigation error rates between single-pilot and dual-pilot aircraft • Evaluate existing studies on Free Flight • Analyze similarities and differences for SATS ER • Needed Data • Expected improvements; type, quantity, and timing • Effects of improvements on safety & efficiency • Costs of implementation

  8. SATS (AT) Preferred Means of Travel for Distances 180-560 Miles • Benefits to new SATS passengers compared to POV (auto) and Air Carrier (changing assumptions changes results)

  9. Benefits to SATS Passengers $730 Million (Preliminary Results) • Benefits to New SATS Passengers: $705M over 15 years • Average Benefit $70 per passenger • 1600+ passengers/day • Estimate for 2008: $42M • Benefits to Existing Air Taxi Passengers: $25M • Total Benefits to SATS Passengers: $730M

  10. SATS Reduces Congestion and Delay at Large Airports • Benefits to Non-SATS Passengers at Congested Airports: $256M

  11. Summary • Total SATS Benefits Almost $1 Billion (preliminary results) • Cost benefit analysis structure completed • Available data • Traffic (updated) and delays at major airports • Forecast en route & terminal traffic (updated) • Aviation weather • Needed data • Refined user-preference and PVT data • “Real” O/D data • Cost of implementation
