Abstract A study was performed to evaluate the impact on airport capacity and voice communications of the Visual Confirmation of Takeoff Clearance (VICON) Signal System. Befoe-and-after test data collection and analysis were conducted at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, CT. Detailed data were collected and time measurements were made for aircraft movements under various weather conditions and runway configurations. Pre- and post- VICON data were compared using a combination of statistical techniques (stratified sampling) and simulation (sequential sampling). Voice recordings were also analyzed to determine VICON's contribution to channel use.
