  • The Years of Change
    The Years of Change In early January of 1993 all the B-2 structural tests were successfully completed. The static load tests were taken to failure to 161% of maximum stress, and the durability test completed more than 2 lifetimes, which represented 20,000 design flight hours. January 1993 confidence was high for the $4-billion PAMPA Program as the company prepared to complete its first flight evaluation aircraft. However, the realities of the “post-cold war” era forced management to gear up for a tough year as the battle of the defense budget continued in Washington. The ailing commercial aviation industry presented additional challenges for the company. Boeing cut production on all their programs, and 1993 looked very gloomy. The company announced plans for down-sizing up to 1,500 people by the end of the year. Vought president Gordon Williams streamlined the management team to help the company ride out the business downturn, and still continue to meet its customer requirements. He stated that “business will be smaller but stronger.” In March 1993 Vought shipped its last engine nacelle for the Canadair business jet while continuing production on the regional jet nacelles. The 500th horizontal stabilizer for the Boeing 767 was shipped during March, and 141 employees elected to retire. In the meantime, Loral Corporation formed a new missiles group by combining Loral Vought Systems and Loral Aeronutronic during the month. At the end of April, 104 employees elected to retire. McDonnell Douglas certified Vought’s business processes in early May, which was another milestone on the way to becoming a preferred supplier for McDonnell Douglas.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.

  • Aviation Facility Requirements Chapter Four Port of Portland
    PORT OF PORTLAND Chapter Four AVIATION FACILITY REQUIREMENTS CHAPTER FOUR PORT OF PORTLAND AVIATIONAVIATION FACILITYFACILITY REQUIREMENTSREQUIREMENTS In this chapter, existing components of the airport are evaluated to identify the capacities of the overall system. Once identified, the existing capacity is compared to the forecast activity levels prepared in Chapter Three to determine where deficiencies currently exist, or may be expected to materialize in the future. Once deficiencies in a component are identified, a more specific determination of the approximate sizing and timing of the new facilities can be made. The objective of this effort is to identify, in general terms, the adequacy of the existing airport facilities and outline what new facilities may be needed and when they may be needed to accommodate forecast demands. Having established these facility requirements, alternatives for providing these facilities will be evaluated in Chapter Five to determine the most cost- effective and efficient means for implementation. As stated previously, the Hillsboro Airport Master Plan covers a 20-year period through 2025. The base year used for starting the forecasting effort and in turn the capacity analysis is the year 2003. The first year for implementation of Master Plan recommendations is expected to be 2006, which will be the beginning of the Short Term Planning Horizon. The Short Term Planning Horizon covers the first five years of the 20-year planning period (2006-2010). The Intermediate Term Planning Horizon encompasses the next five years (2011 4-1 through 2015). The Long Term Plan- schedule of planned improvements ning Horizon would correlate to the provides flexibility in development final 10 years of the planning period since development schedules can be (2016 through 2025).

  • Chapter Number
    Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport Airport Master Plan Update CHAPTER 4 FACILITY REQUIREMENTS The existing and future facility needs of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (Metro or Airport) are the focus of this chapter. The facility needs are based on the Airport’s existing facilities, aviation activity forecast, and Jefferson County’s strategic vision and direction for the future of the Airport and community. Specific facility expansion and airport development alternatives to meet the future facility needs are addressed in Chapter 5, Identification, and Evaluation of Alternatives. 4.1 SUMMARY A summary of the facility development needed to accommodate the forecast growth at Metro is provided in this section. Certain identified facilities will need further analysis based on the recommended development alternatives. Key conclusions from the facility requirement analysis include: • Critical aircraft changes from a Grumman Gulfstream II to a Gulfstream G550, which is an adjustment in Aircraft Reference Code (ARC) from D-II to D-III. (See section 4.2.2 - Critical Aircraft Identification and Airport Reference Code) • The demand capacity ratio is expected to grow throughout the planning period from 54 percent today to 93 percent in 2030. Additional airfield capacity analysis should be done to support major airfield investment decisions, and to help reduce the Annual Service Volume (ASV) ratio during this planning period. (See section - 4.3.2 Airfield Capacity) • The runway magnetic azimuths for Runways 11L/29R, 11R/29L and 2/20 are several minutes over the existing declination; therefore, the runways are in need of a redesignation. The redesignation should be timed to correspond with the pavement maintenance or improvements to the runways.

  • Airport Master Plan
    Chapter Two FORECASTS AIRPORT MASTER PLAN The definition of demand that may be reasonably expected to occur during the useful life of an airport’s key components (e.g., runways, taxiways, terminal buildings, etc.) is an important factor in facility plan‐ ning. In airport master planning, this involves projecting aviation activity for at least a 20‐year timeframe. Aviation demand forecasting for the Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN or Airport) will consider commercial passenger enplanements (boardings), based aircraft, and aircraft operations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has oversight responsibility to review and approve aviation forecasts developed in conjunction with airport planning studies. In addition, aviation activity forecasts may be an important input to future benefit‐cost analyses associated with airport development, and the FAA reviews these analyses when federal funding requests are submitted. The FAA will review individual airport forecasts with the objective of comparing them to its Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) and the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). Even though the TAF is updated annually, in the past there was almost always a disparity between the TAF and master plan‐ ning forecasts. This was primarily because the TAF forecasts did not consider local conditions or recent trends. In recent years, however, the FAA has improved its forecast model to be a demand‐driven fore‐ cast for aviation services based upon local and national economic conditions, as well as conditions within the aviation industry. DRAFT Chapter Two 2-1 The TAF projections of passenger enplanements and commercial operations at large, medium, and small hub airports are based on a bottom‐up approach.
