The Snowy Owl Airport near Timmins serves light aircraft. It has a single runway and
one air traffic controller to land planes. It takes an airplane 12 minutes (Normally
distributed) to land and clear the runway. Only one plane can be in this landing
procedure at a time. Planes are scheduled to arrive to the airport's airspace every 15
minutes, and always arrive to the airspace on time.
But instead of always being able to land on time, planes report an average delay of 5
minutes (waiting for the previous plane to clear the runway) before they can begin
the landing procedure.
