Forecasts of Aviation Activity
CHAPTER B Forecasts of Aviation Activity: Forecasting is a key element in any airport master planning process. The forecast process is essential for analyzing existing airport facilities and identifying further needs and requirements of the facilities that may arise over the next 20 years. The relationship between aviation activity and projected demand is an indicator as to the type, timing, and allocation of future airport infrastructure, equipment, and service needs. For the purposes of this Airport Master Plan, the most important element of the forecasts chapter is the documentation of existing aircraft operations by type and size of aircraft as well as the future projections of operations by type and size of aircraft. One of the assumed outcomes of this planning process was that the type and size of aircraft using the Airport on a regular basis are larger than what RNT was originally designed for. The trend of more operations by larger design aircraft is forecast to continue and warrants a design standard change for RNT. This change in design standards is further discussed starting on Page B.37 with the conclusion being that the Airport is, in fact, in need of a design standards upgrade in accordance with FAA guidance. Introduction. The RNT aviation activity forecasts in this chapter are developed for a 20-year planning period and are based on historic activity, industry trends, local socioeconomic data, and changes at RNT since the completion of previous planning studies. The forecasts utilize FY2015 (October 2014 through September 2015) as the base year and project future activity through 2035, identified in 5-year increments. -

Despite the Devastating Tragedy of the 9/11 Terrorist Attack on This
General Aviation Airports Pose a Threat to National Security Nearly eleven years have elapsed since that fateful September day when Mohammed Atta commandeered American Airlines Flight 11 and crashed it into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.1 A few minutes later fellow terrorist Marwan al Shehhi steered United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower.2 Both Atta and Shehhi obtained pilot's licenses and received large jet flight simulator instruction at Huffman Aviation in Venice Florida. They also trained at Jones Aviation in Sarasota, Florida.3 Hani Hanjour, who piloted American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon, was rejected from a flight school in his home country before receiving pilot training in the U.S. After being turned away by the flight school in Saudi Arabia he was accepted at Arizona Aviation. From there he went on to obtain both a private and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued commercial pilot certification. Hanjour then returned to Saudi Arabia where he was denied admission to a civil aviation school. Upon returning to the U.S. Hanjour trained on a Boeing 737 simulator at the Pan Am International Flight Academy in Mesa, Arizona.4 He also trained and practiced at Air Fleet Training Systems in Teterboro, New Jersey, and Caldwell Flight Academy in Fairfield, New Jersey.5 United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed short of its presumed Washington DC target, came down in a field in Pennsylvania. This aircraft was piloted by Ziad Jarrah6 who received his private pilot training at the Florida Flight Training Center in Venice, Florida.7 In addition he trained at the Hortman Aviation,8 a training school which serves the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware region.9 Within the space of seventy-seven minutes, terrorists transformed four commercial aircraft into weapons of mass destruction. -

Pierce County Public Works and Utilities Brian J. Ziegler, P.E. 2702 South 42nd Street, Suite 201 Director Tacoma, Washington 98409-7322 [email protected] piercecountywa.org/pwu TO: Dan Roach, Chair Pierce County Council FROM: Deb Wallace, Airport and Ferry Administrator DATE: October 28, 2014 SUBJECT: Airport Security The purpose of this briefing paper is to provide an update to Council on the status of security upgrades at Pierce County's airports. Current Situation: The Pierce County Airport and Ferry division is in the process of upgrading gate access, fencing, and security lighting at both airports. In 2015 the division will implement an Airport Watch program to increase the safety and security at each facility. The improvements are being made due to incidents which have occurred at the airports over the last several years and at the request of airport tenants. Currently both airports are fenced with restricted access gates to enhance security, although there are gaps in the fencing allowing unauthorized pedestrian entry. These gaps will be addressed in early 2015. An electronic gate is being added to the north gate at Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW) and the south gate is being outfitted with a mechanism to allow its use by those who are hearing impaired. Once that improvement is completed, 24 hour security will be implemented at TIW. Thun Field currently operates with 24 hour gate security. Prior to implementation, the airport commissions at each airport discussed airport security measures during the preceding year and staff coordinated the implementation of the security measures with airport tenants. -

B Forecasts of Aviation Activity
B Forecasts of Aviation Activity INTRODUCTION. The aviation demand projections are documented in the following sections: ▪ Historical and Exiting Aviation Activity ▪ Previous Forecasts ▪ Factors Affecting Aviation Forecasts ▪ Forecast Methodologies ▪ Forecast of Aviation Demand Activity o Commercial Passenger Enplanement & Operations Forecast o Air Cargo Weight & Operations Forecast o General Aviation Operations Forecast o Military Aircraft Operations Forecast o Aircraft Operations Forecast (Mix, Peaking, Critical Planning Aircraft) o General Aviation Based Aircraft Forecast ▪ Runway Design Code (RDC)/Critical Aircraft Analysis ▪ FAA TAF Comparison and Forecast Conclusion Aviation forecasts are time-based projections offering a reasonable expectation of future airport activity. The forecast of activity projections influences nearly every aspect of the MP Update process. The relationship between current activity and forecast demand is an indicator as to the type and timing of future airport infrastructure, equipment, and service needs, as well as funding resource allocation. The forecasts are prepared annually for a 20-year planning period, from 2015 through 2035, identified in five- year increments, and segmented into three planning phases: ▪ ‘Near-term’ (2015-2020) ▪ ‘Mid-term’ (2021-2025) ▪ ‘Long-term’ (2025-2035) The forecasts are developed consistent with FAA forecasting guidance, reflecting the current baseline of airport activity levels, user trends, and industry-wide activity patterns. The forecasts are considered “unconstrained”, in that they assume the Airport is sufficiently able to accommodate the demand either through existing facilities or future improvements. B.1 It should also be understood there are typically year-to-year fluctuations to forecast activity due to various unanticipated factors and unforeseen demand circumstances (e.g., changes in emerging airport markets and national aviation trends, including economic factors, both nationally and regionally. -

Resolution No. 1189 Gig Harbor, Washington
RESOLUTION NO. 1189 A RESOLUTION OF THE Cinr COUNCIL OF THE CH-Y OF GIG HARBOR, WASHINGTON, EXPRESSING THE CITY'S OPPOSITION TO ANY RECOMMENDATION OF BROAD- SCALE EXPANSION OF THE TACOMA NARROWS AIRPORT WHEREAS,both the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and the Washington State Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission (CACC) are conducting studies on the potential for the expansion of commercial aviation in western Washington State; and WHEREAS, both the PSRC and the CACC have identified the Tacoma Narrows Airport as a location with potential for expansion; and WHEREAS,expansion of the Tacoma NarrowsAirport will lead to increased traffic problems to the already highly congested SR 16 corridor. The increase in trafficwill likely overwhelm the infrastructure capacity of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, SR 16, 36th Street and Olympic Drive; and WHEREAS, increased commercial air traffic will lead to intolerable noise and air pollution for residents in and around the City of Gig Harbor. Such pollution would destroy the City's charm and appeal as working waterfront community and would decimate the City's tourism and real estate industries. The harbor would become an extended airline approach runway path for airplanes at a terrible cost to the City; and WHEREAS,expanded runway length at Tacoma NarrowsAirport may result in the need to condemn public and privatelyowned land; and WHEREAS, Pierce County, in its capacity as the sponsor of the airport, has expressed no interest in pursuing expansion of the Tacoma NarrowsAirport; and WHEREAS,the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has identified several limitations of the Tacoma NarrowsAirport's suitabilityfor expansion including runway length, acreage availability, traffic congestion, strong community opposition, and the natural Puget Sound barrierto access; NOW, THEREFORE, THE C\TY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GIG HARBOR, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. -
