    PORT OF PORTLAND Chapter Seven CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CHAPTER SEVEN PORT OF PORTLAND CAPITALCAPITAL IMPROVEMENTIMPROVEMENT PROGRAMPROGRAM The analyses conducted in the previous chapters evaluated airport development needs based upon safety, security, potential aviation activity, and operational efficiency. Through these analyses, a plan for the use and development of the airport was defined. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the projects to implement the proposed plan for the use and development of Hillsboro Airport, and those capital needs required to operate and maintain the airport in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner. The presentation of the financial plan and its feasibility has been organized into two sections. First, funding sources on the federal and local levels are identified and discussed. Second, the airport's capital needs, costs, and funding eligibility are presented in narrative and tabulated form. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUNDING Financing capital improvements at the airport will not rely exclusively upon the financial resources of the Port of Portland (Port). Capital improvement funding is available at the federal level for many airport projects. The following discussion outlines the key sources for capital improvement funding. 7-1 FEDERAL GRANTS entitlement.

  • STRATEGIC ANALYSIS Mulino Airport
    Chapter One Airport Master Plan Update STRATEGIC ANALYSIS Mulino Airport The objective of this chapter is to determine, through a strategic analysis, the appropriate future role for the Mulino Airport (Airport) within the Portland metro area system of airports. This chapter documents the tasks undertaken for the strategic analysis. The first section defines the current role of the Mulino Airport within the national, state, and Portland metro area systems of airports. In the second section, the roles, activity levels, facilities, services, and development potential of other airports in the Portland metro area are analyzed. The third section summarizes the results of a survey of airport users and aviation service providers in the area regarding the use of the Mulino Airport and its future needs. The chapter ends with analysis conclusions, an evaluation of alternative airport roles, and a recommended future role of the Airport. This recommended role will guide the development of aviation activity forecasts and facility requirements. MULINO AIRPORT’S CURRENT ROLE Mulino Airport’s Role within the National System The Mulino Airport is identified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as one of 2,558 General Aviation (GA) facilities nationwide and is included within the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). GA airports do not have scheduled passenger service. There are several criteria allowing an airport to be included in the NPIAS; however, the general criteria are that the airport has at least 10 based aircraft and is located at least 20 miles (30 minutes drive time) from another NPIAS airport. The Mulino Airport meets the based aircraft criteria; however, the Airport is within 13 miles (approximately 19 minutes drive time) of Mulino Airport 1-1 Chapter One - Strategic Analysis another NPIAS airport (Aurora State).

  • INTRODUCTION Airport Master Plan Update Aurora State Airport
    Chapter One: INTRODUCTION Airport Master Plan Update Aurora State Airport This update to the 2000 Airport Master Plan was undertaken to assess the role of the Aurora State Airport (Airport), evaluate the Airport's capabilities, forecast future aeronautical activity for the next 20 years, and plan for the timely development of any new or expanded Airport facilities needed to accommodate future aviation activity. The owner and operator of the Airport, the Oregon Department of Aviation (ODA), obtained and matched a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fund this study. ODA has organized a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), representing Airport users and neighbors, to participate in the planning process. In addition to six PAC meetings, public involvement in the master plan update includes a website to disseminate information and gather comments and questions, and five open houses for the general public. The purpose of this first draft chapter of the Airport Master Plan Update (Plan) is threefold: • to summarize major issues that the Plan should address • to identify goals for the planning process and for the future development of the Airport • to determine the Airport’s current and future role within the system of airports GOALS Goals for the master plan update were a subject of the first PAC meeting held on July 22, 2010. The common themes of PAC members’ statements have been synthesized and are presented below. The goals are divided between two categories – goals for the planning process and goals for the master plan itself. Planning Process Goals The goals for the planning process should guide the conduct of the ODA, ODA’s consultants, and the PAC throughout the development of the master plan update.

  • 3 Madras Activity Forecasts.Indd
    MADRAS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN This chapter is a preliminary working draft prepared for review by City of Madras staff and the Airport Master Plan Update - Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). The chapter will be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Oregon Department of Aviation (ODA) for formal review after local review is completed, and is therefore, subject to change. MADRAS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT I AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 Aviation Activity Forecasts COVID-19 IMPACTS ON AVIATION ACTIVITY FORECASTS This forecast was prepared during the first full year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The disruption of airport activity experienced throughout the U.S. airport system related to COVID-19 in 2020 is unprecedented and has led to a significant decline in activity that is not consistent with recent historic trends. Although the limits of the current disruption have yet to be defined, it is believed that the underlying elements of demand within general aviation will remain largely intact until all public health constraints are fully addressed and economic conditions gradually return to normal. Two notable conditions are defined in these forecasts: 1. 2019 activity is used as the base for the updated twenty-year aviation activity forecast. 2019 represents a reasonable “pre-COVID” indication of current conditions and it was the last full calendar year of activity available at the time the forecasts were prepared. To simplify the projection, the 2019 data was carried forward to 2020, representing base year activity in the 2020- 2040 master plan forecast window. The twenty year forecasts are provided in five-year increments beginning in 2025.

  • Newport Municipal Airport Operations Report From
    NEWPORT MUNICIPAL AIRPORT OPERATIONS REPORT 07/28/2017 FROM: JULY 1 – JULY 28, 2017 The locksmith has re-keyed the FBO and will be here July 14th to start re-keying the T-hangars. I have notified all the T-hangar tenants about the re-keying. Locksmith has had to re-schedule the July 14th re-keying. I attended the 2nd Oregon Regional Commercial Air Service Roundtable in April. Ben Brookman, Director of Network Planning for Alaska Airlines was the guest speaker. He talked about Alaska growth in the market and were they are headed in the future. I am hopeful to share the power point presentation with the airport committee. In addition, I will leave this in the report until I can. The presentation gives a good in-depth look at what airlines consider for providing air service. I attended the July 10 Oregon Department of Aviation Board meeting. Items of discussion during the meeting were an approval to increase SOAR funds for Nehalem Bay Obstruction Removal Projects. A vote for Action on K-12 reduction of UAS registration Fee Rulemaking for publically supported entities that support K-12 Schools and or after school programs so that they can be included in the exemption. The Board voted on approving adding Sisters Eagle Airport within Exhibit 2 for Airport Fee Rulemaking. The boarded voted on Grant Program Rulemaking that grant applicants including federal, state, and local governments in areas with any other government entities are ineligible and cannot obtain grant funds from the ODA, any exceptions to this requirement must be approved by the State Aviation board.

  • Troutdale Airport Master Plan Shaping Our Future Planning Advisory Committee Final Report June 2016
    TROUTDALE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN SHAPING OUR FUTURE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FINAL REPORT JUNE 2016 May 11, 2016 Port of Portland Executive Director, Troutdale Airport: Shaping Our Future was a complete airport master plan process that went above and beyond. While the master plan followed many of the traditional steps characteristic of an airport master plan, it also explored a broader range of issues important to the Port, City and greater region. Before the process began, the Port of Portland recognized that Troutdale Airport was a valued community asset on an unsustainable path. At the same time, the Port identified a local community need for increased economic opportunities. This master plan process was exceptional in that it not only addressed the airport resources required to continue serving aviation needs, it also evaluated how Troutdale Airport could sustainably serve local community needs as a whole for the next 20 years. The Port of Portland invited a group of 23 stakeholders – representing diverse values of economic, environmental and social sustainability – to create a project advisory committee (PAC) charged with providing input and recommendations for the master plan process. From the spring of 2014 to the spring of 2016, I worked with these outstanding individuals and the Port to develop our recommendations on the Troutdale Airport Master Plan. As a PAC, we were given the opportunity to provide input on planning documents and engage in rigorous discussion about Troutdale Airport’s role in the future. Our recommendations were also informed by community input collected from stakeholder meetings and public involvement activities prior to key project milestones.
