5. Airport Roles
5. AIRPORT ROLES As part of GDOT’s prior airport system plans, criteria were identified to assign each airport in the state system to a role or level. In Georgia, airport levels generally reflect the type of users each airport accommodates and the facilities and services that the airport has in place. Levels also typically reflect the airport’s relative importance, as it relates to meeting the state’s transportation and economic needs and objectives. Further, airport levels are often matched to the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the communities the airport serves. This chapter of the update to the Georgia Statewide Airport System Plan (GSASP) provides the following: • Review of current airport roles. • Comparison of Georgia state airport levels/roles to roles for Georgia airports established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in their ASSET Study or National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). • Discussion of the need to consider change to current airport levels. • Recommendations for changes to current airport levels. Chapter 6, Airport Facility and Service Objectives, examines the ability of each airport to meet facility and service objectives that are applicable to each airport’s recommended level. 5.1 Factors That Influence Current Roles for Georgia Airports Levels for Georgia airports were established in the 2002 GSASP; the following factors were considered in the 2002 system plan to assign Georgia airports to a level: • Coverage: Percentage of the state contained in an airport service area. This factor included the establishment of a 30-minute service area for each airport via a geographic information system (GIS) drive time analysis. -
Southern Area Mobilization Center Guide
Southern Area Mobilization Center Guide GEOGRAPHIC AREA MOBILIZATION CENTER ACTIVATION COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS The decision to activate a Geographic Area Mobilization Center will generally be a collaborative effort by the Region 8 Assistant Director, Operations, and the Southern Area Coordinator. A Geographic Area Mobilization Center may be activated when the following impacts are occurring: � ITEM Initials Date It’s March 20 and fires are occurring in the mountains (North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia). Deployment of 2 Teams has occurred. It’s October 22 and fires are occurring in the mountains. Deployment of 2 Teams has occurred. A Category IV or V hurricane is projected to hit the mainland within the next 3 days. Projected impact sites may include one or more states. 2 Teams are committed in the Southern Area and potential exists to stage additional Teams for deployment. This may include all-risk incidents. Several days (10-12) of multiple small fires have occurred in several States. Initial attack resources are becoming fatigued. A need to supplement Southern Area ground forces with crews and smoke-chasing squads is identified. Crews will be placed into Mobilization Centers, available for initial attack, as allocated by SACC/MAC. Southern crews are being mobilized outside the Southern Area and there is a need to bring them to a central location for jet transport. LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS: DRAFT Incident Management TeamsDRAFT can best be facilitated at a Mobilization Center established in Marietta, Georgia. Rationale includes: 1. Centrally located in the in the Southern Area 2. Close proximity to Region 8 Operations, SACC, Incident Business Advisor, and Safety for Team in-briefings and out-briefings 3. -

2 Purpose and Need
Environmental Assessment for Atlanta Optimization of Airspace and Procedures in the Metroplex 2 Purpose and Need The FAA is preparing this EA to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of new RNAV-defined IFPs for the Atlanta Metroplex (Proposed Action). According to the CEQ regulations implementing NEPA, the purpose of and need for the action being proposed must be described in the EA.21 The following sections discuss the need for and the purpose of the Proposed Action. Following this discussion, the Proposed Action is described in detail. 2.1 The Need for the Proposed Action In the context of an EA, “need” refers to the problem that the Proposed Action intends to resolve. By law, the FAA must “develop plans and policy for the use of navigable airspace and assign by regulation or order the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace.”22 Although RNAV based SIDs and STARs have been in effect in the Atlanta Metroplex since 2005, these procedures can be improved to increase efficient use of the airspace. For example, under current conditions, single departure routes rely upon a greater degree of divergence than necessary. This requires aircraft to fly more miles than necessary before diverging towards the exit points from A80 airspace. In addition, separation between traffic flows can be improved to increase lateral and vertical separation between traffic flows. Furthermore, several STARs lack defined transitions to specific runways, requiring controllers to use vectoring and speed adjustments to manage traffic. This leads to increased controller and pilot workload. -
Appendix C Aviation Activity Forecast – Silver Comet Field at Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport
APPENDIX C AVIATION ACTIVITY FORECAST – SILVER COMET FIELD AT PAULDING NORTHWEST ATLANTA AIRPORT SILVER COMET FIELD AT PAULDING NORTHWEST ATLANTA AIRPORT Aviation Activity Forecast This aviation activity forecast is prepared in conjunction with the Environmental Assessment (“EA”) being conducted to assess the potential effects associated with the proposed Part 139 certification and other airport improvement projects at Silver Comet Field at the Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport ( the “Airport” or “KPUJ”). The Airport is currently a public use, general aviation airport located 24 miles northwest of Atlanta, officially opened in late 2008 with a 5,505 foot runway, the culmination of construction that began in mid-2006. Its 23,000 square foot state-of-the-art terminal building was completed in late 2009. The terminal facility has only a single boarding gate, and Paulding County has no plans to expand the facility. The Airport is owned by Paulding County and is administered through the Paulding County Airport Authority (PCAA). The Airport sustained significant damage in a March, 2012 EF-3 tornado. The terminal sustained roof and window damage. A large hangar was destroyed, and 18 of the 23 aircraft based at the Airport were destroyed. Repairs to the hangar and terminal were completed in the Fall of 2012. In addition to the Part 139 project, the airport improvement projects involve among other things, extending the runways and widening the taxiways. In October, 2013 the Airport entered into an agreement with Propeller Investments to manage the terminal building. Propeller Investments has initiated talks with carriers regarding potential commercial service at the Airport. -

Lemon Introduction Georgia is served by one of the most comprehensive and progressive aviation systems in the United States. To prepare a long-term plan to guide the development of this aviation system, it was necessary to follow an approach that will keep Georgia airports at the forefront of aviation. This executive summary highlights the findings from the Georgia Aviation In late 2001, Aviation Programs, Georgia Department of Transportation, began an update to its System Plan, as well as the Air statewide aviation system plan. It had been almost 10 years since the Georgia Aviation System Plan Service/Passenger Demand Analysis. had last been updated. This document is a summary of the technical report that was prepared to A separate study was conducted to document the System Plan. analyze the condition of pavements The update to the Georgia Aviation System Plan contained four components: at all Georgia airports.

6. Airport Facility and Service Objectives Analysis
6. AIRPORT FACILITY AND SERVICE OBJECTIVES ANALYSIS As part of the Georgia Statewide Aviation System Plan (GSASP), target objectives were established to enable airports to best fulfill their assigned level in the state airport system. Recommended levels for all system airports were identified in Chapter 5, Airport Roles. Facility and service objectives apply to airports in each of the following categories: Level I, Level II, and Level III. For this report, Level III airports have been separated into two categories, Commercial Service (Level III - Commercial Service) and General Aviation (Level III - General Aviation). Facility and service objectives are based on those established as part of the 2002 GSASP. They have been updated in some cases to reflect industry, technology, and regulatory changes. The facility and service adequacies and deficiencies identified in this chapter provide the foundation for final system recommendations, as well as for recommendations for individual study airports. It is possible that the recommendations from local airport master planning efforts could result in additional and/or different improvements other than those identified through this system plan. It is also worth noting that GSASP facility objectives reflect, by role, development that is considered desirable at each airport. It is possible that airport-specific conditions may justify development that exceeds an airport’s objectives identified in the GSASP. It is also possible that airport-specific conditions or constraints could prohibit an airport from achieving all of its GSASP-related objectives. Facility and service objectives for Georgia airports, by level, are presented in Table 6-1. This chapter analyzes and summarizes existing airside facilities, landside facilities, and services at 102 system airports. -
