How the peaks are built
- 1. Live PGD commercial board (Allegiant / Sun Country) plus ADS-B positions.
- 2. Departing guests follow PGD’s 2-hour arrival guidance — curb peaks ~2 hours before push, security ~100 minutes prior.
- 3. Arrivals hit bag claim ~15–30 minutes after on-block, then the mixed commercial curb.
- 4. Terminal over capacity is 1,500 pax/hr. Checkpoint is 150 pax/hr per lane, five lanes max (750 pax/hr).
- 5. METAR/TAF and FAA status add delay minutes; late inbounds protect a 48-minute turn before the outbound moves.
Live board was unavailable; typical Allegiant banks for this weekday are modeled with current weather delay risk.

How the apron peaks are built
- 1. Live PGD GA board plus ADS-B within 12 nm of the field.
- 2. Local = pattern, based, Flight Training Tropic, CAP, and Arcadia / Shell Creek hops.
- 3. Itinerant = visiting aircraft and jets — they occupy the FBO ramp for fuel and parking.
- 4. About 45% of local ops touch the Air Center (fuel / line); the rest stay in T-hangars or the pattern.
- 5. Thunderstorms suppress local training until 20 minutes after the TAF window; itinerant get the same delay minutes as airline turns.
Typical weekday local training banks and itinerant mix, shifted around the current TAF storm window.
