The report is the second phase of a program to develop an airport air pollution impact methodology, involving modifications to aircraft ground operations to achieve emission reductions. The airport planning process was investigated to determine the points at which alternate strategies might be implemented. The principal evaluative tool was a Guassian plume description of pollutant dispersion. The five control strategies for aircraft studied were: (1) engine shutdown during taxi, (2) towing aircraft between runways and terminal gates, (3) capacity control, (4) fleet mix control and (5) engine emission standards.
