SITE X capacity question: which option correctly states the maximum number of aircraft and the allocation?

• A. 14 total (5 right, 5 left, 4 low work)
• B. 12 total (4 right, 4 left, 4 low work)
• C. 16 total (6 right, 6 left, 4 low work)
• D. 10 total (3 right, 3 left, 4 low work)

Answer: (A)

Site capacity is determined by how many aircraft the site can handle across the two main traffic streams and the low-work area. The two streams need to be kept in balance to maintain safe spacing and predictable flow, while the low-work slots provide space for tasks that don’t require full airborne operations. The correct allocation follows the published SITE X plan, matching the intended distribution between the right-traffic and left-traffic streams and allocating the appropriate portion to low-work. This balance ensures you can achieve the maximum throughput defined for SITE X without overloading any single stream. Other options would push a traffic stream beyond its allowed limit or leave low-work capacity underutilized, which would either create congestion or reduce overall efficiency.
