Estudo de viabilidade técnica da implantação do aeroporto de Arapiraca - AL

Abstract

This work presents the technical feasibility study of the implantation of the airport of the city of Arapiraca-AL by means of the study carried out by the Municipal Authority that identified six potential sites suitable for the installation of the aerodrome. In this way, it was executed the runway geometric design referring to the six sites under analysis which consisted basically of determining runway length, dimensioning of system and safety areas of the runway, longitudinal and transverse profile of the runway, verification of the line of sight, dimensioning of imaginary surfaces, graphical representation of the surfaces in AutoCAD 2018® student version, georeferencing of the runway through the integration of Google Earth Pro 2015 with AutoCAD 2018® and, finally, representation of the imaginary surfaces in Google Earth Pro 2015. The dimensioning was executed following the directives included in the regulations and advisory circulars published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With the results obtained, it was realized that the six areas examined in this project are technically feasible to the airport implementation since they meet all safety and dimensioning criteria. Furthermore, the site 4 is the most suitable for the installation of the aerodrome since runway 4 presents the lowest effective gradient in comparison to the other runways, as well as it requires shorter runway length to safely guarantee landing and takeoff of the aircrafts that are expected to operate in the aerodrome.
