    AIRPORT MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 5 - RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS centurIon PLANNING AND DESIGN AIRPORT MASTER PLAN – CHAPTER FIVE | RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The selection of a Recommended Development Concept is based on a combination of efforts by the planning team, Airport and City leadership, and tenant input. The airport master planning process for San Angelo Regional Airport (SJT) began with an inventory of existing facilities (Chapter One) followed by an evaluation of existing and potential future operational demand (Chapter Two) and facilities necessary to accommodate such demand (Chapter Three). Development alternatives were formulated to meet airport needs (Chapter Four) and then presented to the Planning and Technical Advisory Committees. Input received from these committees, Airport Leadership, and City Leadership resulted in the identification of the Recommended Development Concept. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the recommended direction for the future development of SJT. This begins with a definition of the Recommended Development Concept. This concept will be appropriately phased, taking into consideration the planning horizons defined within the aviation forecasts and facility requirements. The phasing will result in the formulation of a Capital Improvement Program and a financial plan will define the financial implications and opportunities of planned development. Recommended Development Concept The Recommended Development Concept is depicted on Exhibit 5A. This concept provides airport improvements that not only conform to the City’s goals and objectives but also meet identified facility needs while maintaining flexibility for future airfield expansion. The Recommended Development Concept was prepared after the development alternatives presented in Chapter Four were vetted and refined based on stakeholder input.

  • FAA Runway Safety Report FY 2000
    FAA Runway Safety Report Runway Incursion Trends and Initiatives at Towered Airports in the United States, FY 2000 – FY 2003 August 2004 Preface THE 2004 RUNWAY SAFETY REPORT1 presents an assessment of runway safety in the United States for fiscal years FY 2000 through FY 2003. The report also highlights runway safety initiatives intended to reduce the severity, number, and rate of runway incursions. Both current progress and historical data regarding the reduction of runway incursions can be found on the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) web site (http://www.faa.gov). Effective February 8, 2004, the FAA implemented an organizational change that created an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) in addition to its Regulatory functions. Safety Services, within the ATO, has assumed the responsibilities of the former Office of Runway Safety. Therefore, this FAA Runway Safety Report, which covers a period prior to the implemen- tation of the ATO, is the last in a series of reports that exclusively presents information on runway safety. Safety performance will be an integral part of future ATO products. 1 A glossary of terms and a list of acronyms used in this report are provided in Appendix A. Federal Aviation Administration 1 Executive Summary REDUCING THE RISKS OF RUNWAY INCURSIONS AND RUNWAY COLLISIONS is a top priority of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Runway safety management is a dynamic process that involves measuring runway incursions as well as understanding the factors that contribute to runway collision risks and taking actions to reduce these risks. Runway incursion severity ratings (Categories A through D) indicate the potential for a collision or the margin of safety associated with an event.

  • Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecast
    ABILENE REGIONAL AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecast Introduction Forecasting aviation activity helps the local airport sponsor determine future airport infrastructure and equipment needs. The preferred demand forecasts, when compared to existing airport facilities, are used to identify the type, extent, and timing of aviation development at an airport. Aviation activity at an airport is influenced by numerous factors including socioeconomic trends related to the region’s population, tourism demand, local business composition and travel needs, the local, regional, and national economy, aviation/airline industry trends, the aviation services provided at the airport, and number of other factors. The aviation activity forecasts developed for ABI take these factors into consideration. This chapter provides forecasted aviation activity levels for ABI for the next twenty years for passenger enplanements, airline, air taxi, general aviation, military, and cargo tonnage levels. Additionally, derivative forecasts have been developed for instrument approach activity, itinerant vs. local operations, peak period activity, and aircraft fleet mix. Historical Aviation Activity Overview ABI has an air traffic control tower that operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Consequently, the historic air traffic activity levels at ABI are well documented. Table 3-1, Historic Aviation Activity, shows the annual aircraft operations data at ABI since 1990. An aircraft operation is defined as an aircraft takeoff or

    Q. Is imaging technology optional? A. Yes, imaging technology screening is optional for all passengers. Passengers who do not wish to receive imagining technology screening will receive alternative screening, including a physical pat-down. Q. Is imaging technology safe? A. Advanced imaging technology is safe and meets national health and safety standards. Backscatter technology was evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). For comparison, a single scan using backscatter technology produces exposure equivalent to two minutes of flying on an airplane, and the energy projected by millimeter wave technology is thousands of times less than a cell phone transmission. Millimeter wave imaging technology meets all known national and international health and safety standards. In fact, the energy emitted by millimeter wave technology is 1000 times less than the international limits and guidelines. Q. What has TSA done to protect my privacy? A. TSA has implemented strict measures to protect passenger privacy, which is ensured through the anonymity of the image. For millimeter wave technology: Automated target recognition (ATR) software detects any metallic and non-metallic threats concealed under a passenger’s clothing by displaying a generic outline of a person on a monitor attached to the AIT unit highlighting any areas that may require additional screening. The generic outline of a person will be identical for all passengers. If no anomalies are detected, an “OK” appears on the screen with no outline. For Backscatter technology: A remotely located officer views the image and does not see the passenger, and the officer assisting the passenger cannot view the image.
