亞洲地區逐年增加的航空運輸成長更使得台北終端管制區轄內的桃園國際機場及松山機場面臨空域擁擠問題。隨兩岸簽訂直航協定以來，不斷開航的新航點及航班、低成本航空加入市場以及松山機場區域航線的機場定位更讓台北終端管制區內飛航流量大增。再者，兩機場由於距離近其管制空域相疊、大幅增加的空中交通流量、擁擠的空域分配，並且近年的桃園機場跑滑道整修工程，更造成機場受限於單跑道運作使得飛機延誤的情況日益嚴重。
本研究目的在於運用SIMMOD建立一包含桃園國際機場及松山機場的多機場模擬模式。透過將空域簡化為兩機場的標準進場路徑及標準離場路徑，配合建立的地面跑滑道系統將兩機場在模擬模式中重現。
運用飛航數據處理系統中的長期飛行計畫，驗證建立之模擬模式，並核對分析結果與各進場航機進入終端管制區至落地之間的確切時間。此後，再以定期班表來進行離到場隔離標準分析模擬，以真實航班數據來推估離到場隔離的標準與空域容量是否滿足使用需求及改善使用效率。

Taipei Terminal Control Area in northern island holds over forty percent of daily flights with two airports, RCTP and RCSS. However, these two airports are within an area of ten nautical mile radius which limits the capacity of airspace. It is necessary to consider as a multi- airport system to enhance airspace capacity for arrival/departure sequence in this area.
This research meant to simulate Taipei TCA as a multi-airport system in SIMMOD, then induce an index of Landing Process Time to optimize separation in Taipei TCA. Model of TCA will be simplified as combination of Standard Terminal Arrival Route, Standard Instrument Departure, few parts of the air routes, runways and taxiways.
LPT is measuring landing occupation time which provides an index to measure and eliminate delay generate within the approach sequence. The model is validated with flight plan data collected from ANWS, then input flight schedule for the concerned period. The result offers a baseline of modification of the TCA airspace separation.
