CONSTRAINT #13 activeGround
Ground Handling & FBO Capacity
Mission turnaround viability is threatened when the FBO lacks the physical equipment, trained crew, or ramp space to service the aircraft.
Decision Question
Does the FBO have the verified equipment and trained crew to turn the specific aircraft within the required window?
Trigger Conditions
- • FBO lacks GPU/tow bar for specific aircraft
- • Ramp space at capacity
- • Single FBO on field with no competition
Affected Mission Layers
groundaircrafttiming
Propagation Paths
- No GPU available → Aircraft cannot start APU → Departure delayed → Downstream mission compressed
Failure Modes
- • Turnaround delay
- • Aircraft damage (improper towing)
- • Forced relocation to alternate FBO
Unknowns (Requires Confirmation)
- • Real-time FBO staffing
- • Equipment maintenance status
Recovery Dependencies
- • FBO capability pre-verification
- • Alternate FBO selection
- • Schedule buffer
