Abstract

In this paper air traffic control capacities at Sydney Kingsford Smith (Mascot) Airport are determined for the three most heavily loaded air traffic sections of the A.T.C. organization. Controller saturation levels are then found and maximum desirable traffic volumes estimated. The influence of various airspace restrictions is shown.
