On the impact of converging runway operations at IAH: Resilient or not?

█ Recall our definition of resilience… █ “Graceful and expected degradation with planned and achievable recovery such that no one component drives the “health” of the overall system unless required”. █ Operational efficiency outcomes █ Increase in taxi-in duration with shift of arrivals from 26L to 26R █ Reluctance to push more arrivals reduced the peak arrival rate by 3 per hour █ CRO drives operations at the expense of other system components █ Implementation of CRO at IAH should be revisited to: █ Reduce taxi-in duration █ Recover peak arrival rate capacity █ Shift arrivals to 26L with same target level of safety
