E. Runway Length Analysis
JOSLIN FIELD, MAGIC VALLEY REGIONAL AIRPORT DECEMBER 2012 E. Runway Length Analysis This appendix describes the runway length analysis conducted for the Airport. Runway 7-25, the Airport’s primary runway, has a length of 8,700 feet and the existing crosswind runway (Runway 12-30) has a length of 3,207 feet. A runway length analysis was conducted to determine if additional runway length is required to meet the needs of aircraft forecasted to operate at the Airport through the planning period. The analysis was conducted according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidance contained in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5325-4B, Runway Length Requirements for Airport Design. The runway length analysis set forth in AC 150/5325-4B relates to both arrivals and departures, although departures typically require more runway length. Runway length requirements were determined separately for Runway 7-25 and Runway 12-30. E.1 Primary Runway Length Requirements According to AC 150/5325-4B, the design objective for the primary runway is to provide a runway length for all aircraft without causing operational weight restrictions. The methodology used to determine required runway lengths is based on the MTOW of the aircraft types to be evaluated, which are grouped into the following categories: Small aircraft (MTOW of 12,500 pounds or less) – Aircraft in this category range in size from ultralight aircraft to small turboprop aircraft. Within this category, aircraft are broken out by approach speeds (less than 30 knots, at least 30 knots but less than 50 knots, and more than 50 knots). Aircraft with approach speeds of more than 50 knots are further broken out by passenger seat capacity (less than 10 passenger seats and 10 or more passenger seats). -
Ford Trimotor
Ford Trimotor The Ford Trimotor (also called the “Tri-Motor”, and The Ford Trimotor using all-metal construction was not a nicknamed “The Tin Goose”) was an American three- revolutionary concept, but it was certainly more advanced engined transport aircraft. Production started in 1925 by than the standard construction techniques of the 1920s. the companies of Henry Ford and until June 7, 1933. A The aircraft resembled the Fokker F.VII Trimotor (ex- total of 199 Ford Trimotors were made.[1] It was designed cept for being all-metal which Henry Ford to claimed for the civil aviation market, but also saw service with made it “the safest airliner around”).[3] Its fuselage and military units.

All of these were constructed of aluminum alloy, which was corrugated for added stiffness, although the resulting drag reduced its overall performance.[5] So similar were the designs that Junkers sued and won when Ford attempted to export an aircraft to Europe.[6] In 1930, Ford counter- sued in Prague, and despite the possibility of anti-German sentiment, was decisively defeated a second time, with the court finding that Ford had infringed upon Junkers’ patents.[6] Although designed primarily for passenger use, the Tri- motor could be easily adapted for hauling cargo, since its seats in the fuselage could be removed. -

The increase in regional jet usage represents a significant change from traditional air traffic patterns. To investigate the possible impacts of this change on the air traffic management and control systems, this study analyzed the emerging flight patterns and performance of regional jets compared to traditional jets and turboprops. This study used ASDI data, which consists of actual flight track data, to analyze flights between January 1998 and January 2003. -

Development of the Minimum Equipment List: Current Practice and the Need for Standardisation
aerospace Review Development of the Minimum Equipment List: Current Practice and the Need for Standardisation Solomon O. Obadimu 1, Nektarios Karanikas 2 and Kyriakos I. Kourousis 1,* 1 School of Engineering, University of Limerick, V94 T9PX Limerick, Ireland; [email protected] 2 School of Public Health and Social Work, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane QLD 4000, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +353-61-202-217 Received: 10 December 2019; Accepted: 15 January 2020; Published: 17 January 2020 Abstract: As part of the airworthiness requirements, an aircraft cannot be dispatched with an inoperative equipment or system unless this is allowed by the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) under any applicable conditions. Commonly, the MEL mirrors the Master MEL (MMEL), which is developed by the manufacturer and approved by the regulator. However, the increasing complexity of aircraft systems and the diversity of operational requirements, environmental conditions, fleet configuration, etc. necessitates a tailored approach to developing the MEL. While it is the responsibility of every aircraft operator to ensure the airworthiness of their aircraft, regulators are also required to publish guidelines to help operators develop their MELs. Currently, there is no approved standard to develop a MEL, and this poses a challenge to both aviation regulators and aircraft operators. This paper reviews current MEL literature, standards and processes as well as MEL related accidents/incidents to offer an overview of the present state of the MEL development and use and reinstate the need for a systematic approach. Furthermore, this paper exposes the paucity of MEL related literature and the ambiguity in MEL regulations. -
Updated List of Noisy Aircraft Types
List of Noisy Aircraft Types The following list addresses the requirement of Proposed Town Code §75- 38 A.(4)(a) for the Airport Director to maintain on the Town website a current list of “noisy aircraft” defined to be “any airplane or rotorcraft for which there is a published Effective Perceived Noise in Decibels (EPNdB) approach (AP) level of 91.0 or greater.” 1 The list is presented in terms of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aircraft type codes and an accompanying commonplace aircraft type description. Commonplace Aircraft Description ICAO Aircraft Note: Published data for shaded aircraft types include ranges of noise levels that extend across the 91.0 EPNdB threshold. These ranges result from multiple published noise levels for varying aircraft configurations (e.g., Type differing powerplants, maximum operating weights, etc.). For these types, aircraft owners must provide the Code Airport Director with noise level information from the individual aircraft’s flight manual, if the owner believes the aircraft in question should not be classified as noisy.

FAQ's of Idaho Aircraft Owners & Dealers
FAQ’s of Idaho Aircraft Owners & Dealers Idaho Division of Aeronautics is regulated by Title 21-114 and IDAPA 39.04.05 Owner’s Who, What If’s, Where, & Why’s 1. Who has to register their aircraft? According to Title 21-114: "Every aircraft operating within this state shall be registered with the department prior to or during each annual registration year (January 1 to December 31) in which the aircraft is operated within the state.” 2. Why does Idaho charge an aircraft registration fee? And, what do you do with fees collected? Aeronautics receives funding from two sources: aviation fuel tax and aircraft registrations. This funding enables our department to maintain 31 backcountry airstrips, provide grants for airport upgrades, support the search and rescue program and provide funding for educational programs. 3. What are the cost of aircraft registration fees? Three cents (3¢) per pound of the manufacturer’s maximum certified gross weight authorized in the aircraft specification or type certificate data sheet of said aircraft issued by the Federal Aviation Administration. In the case that your aircraft does not have a manufacturer’s maximum certified gross weight, please use maximum takeoff weight as indicated in your Pilot’s Operating Handbook. This also includes “kit planes and home-builds”. In no case will the fee be less than twenty dollars ($20) on one aircraft. In no case will the fee exceed six hundred dollars ($600) on one aircraft. Aircraft registration is in lieu of personal property taxes. (Not to be confused with State Sales Tax). Idaho does not require registration of UAS/Drones at this time. -
