One of the ‘outputs’ of the Critical Review process is that current design weaknesses or flaws in the current operation may be ‘added’ to list of design objectives or used to refine the design objectives. In the example used above, the possibility of designing a discrete SID for use during the summer months by heavy aircraft has arisen and as such, it may be appropriate opportune to add this to the design objectives.

Although the Reference (or ‘Psuedo’ Reference) Scenario serves, at a later stage, as the yard-stick against which the success of the new or modified design is measured, it may be considered logically inconsistent to seek comparisons between the Reference Scenario and new Scenarios based upon different assumptions or enablers (or constraints). The diagram below presents this apparent dilemma.

Figure 2- 2: Scenario Comparison
In the above diagram -
A= the Reference Scenario with its particular Assumptions, Enablers and Constraints and its resultant Performance.
C= the new Scenario 1, with, for example, a new set of SIDs/STARs based on a different assumptions (e.g. Navigation means = P-RNAV) and its resultant Performance.
In comparing the Performance of Terminal Airspace C (Scenario 1) with that produced by A (Reference Scenario), it could be argued that A and C are not comparable because the assumptions are different (e.g. navigation) and that the changes made to the SIDs and STARs are therefore substantial. Furthermore, a different sectorisation method has been used. Logically, this argument is correct, and if followed through one would need A to be based on C’s assumptions to obtain performance B and that B should then be compared to C so that the comparison is meaningful.
