In building a power package we take the bare engine and to it attach the necessary engine mount, sheet metal cowling, panels, diaphragms, supporting structures, air ducts, fuel and oil lines, and electrical harness.

  • Runway Analysis
    CHAPTER 5 RUNWAY ANALYSIS 5 5 RUNWAY ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION The primary issue to be addressed in the William R. Fairchild International Airport (CLM) Master Plan involves the ultimate length and configuration of the runway system. At present there are two runways; primary Runway 8/26 and crosswind Runway 13/31. Runway 8/26 is 6,347 feet long and 150-feet wide with a displaced threshold of 1,354 feet on the approach end to Runway 26. The threshold was displaced to provide for an unobstructed visual approach slope of 20:1. Runway 13/31 is designated as the crosswind runway and is 3,250-feet long by 50-feet wide. In the 1997 ALP Update, the FAA determined that this runway was not required to provide adequate wind coverage and would not be eligible for FAA funding of any improvements in the future. The Port of Port Angeles has committed to keeping this runway functional without FAA support for as long as it is feasible. Subsequent sections of this analysis will reexamine the need for the runway. Both runways are supported by parallel taxiway systems with Taxiway A serving Runway 8/26 and Taxiway J for Runway 13/31. Taxiway A is 40 feet wide and Taxiway J is 50 feet wide. AIRFIELD REQUIREMENTS In determining airfield requirements, FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5300-13, Airport Design (Change 14), has been consulted. This circular requires that future classification of the airport be defined as the basis for airfield planning criteria. As shown in the forecast chapter, the critical aircraft at CLM is expected to be the small business jet represented by the Cessna Citation within 5-years.

  • B-162897 Aircraft Owned Or Leased By
    Dear Mr, Thompson: Reference is made to your letter of February 10, 1970, requesting that we update information which we furnished to you in a report dated March 4, 1968, relative to aircraft owned or leased by the Federal Avia- 1 tion Administration (FAA). In accordance with this request, we are fur- nishing you the following information. 1. Inventory of active aircraft owned as of June 30, 1967, 1968, 1969, and January 1, 1970 (enclosure I). 2. Installed passenger capacity and cost of aircraft owned as of June 30, 1967, and January 1, 1970 (enclosure II). 3. Aircraft leased or on loan during the period July 1, 1967, through June 30, 1969 (enclosure III). 4. Aircraft mazntenance, maJor overhaul, and modification costs by aircraft type, for fiscal years 1968 and 1969 (enclosure IV). 5. Average cost per flxght hour by aircraft type, fiscal years 1968 and 1969 (enclosure V>. 6. Aircraft utilization by aircraft type and maJor cate- gories, fiscal years 1968 and 1969 (enclosure VI). 7. Utilization and cost of open market rental aircraft, fiscal years 1968 and 1969 (enclosure VII). In addition, you requested that we advise you of the progress that has been made in establishing a uniform maintenance and operating cost re- porting system for all FAA owned and leased aircraft. As shown zn our March 4, 1968, report, FhCl had 101 aircraft which cost approximately $46 mzlllon 1n its inventory of active aircraft as of June 30, 1967. On January 1, 1970, the number of active air craft had decreased Co 98; however, the cost of the aircraft in the inventory was approximately $52 million, This increase was the net result of.

Using data collected from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, we analyze 110 different aircraft types from 145 airlines operating U.S. commercial domestic service between 1991 and 2010. We classify the aircraft analyzed into four categories: turboprop, regional jet, narrow-body, and wide-body.

    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.

L’objectiu principal és definir els paràmetres o característiques essencials de l’aeronau, així com establir la configuració a partir de la qual es desenvoluparia un futur disseny. La memòria de l’estudi es divideix en cinc grans blocs: 1. Estudi de mercat i d’aeronaus similars 2. Dimensionament preliminar 3. Configuració preliminar 4. Actuacions 5. Impacte ambiental A l’estudi de mercat es mostra l’evolució de l’aviació corporativa fins a dia d’avui i es presenta una previsió de creixement del sector fins l’any 2032. A més, es presenta una classificació de les aeronaus en funció de paràmetres com el preu, l’abast i el volum de la cabina. Al bloc corresponent al dimensionament preliminar s’hi inclou una estimació dels principals pesos de l’aeronau i d’alguns paràmetres de disseny, com la superfície alar i l’empenta d’enlairament requerida. A la secció corresponent a la configuració preliminar es defineixen les característiques principals de les diferents parts de l’aeronau: fuselatge, ala, cua, planta propulsora i tren d’aterratge. L’objectiu d’aquest bloc és dimensionar cada una d’aquestes parts i integrar-ho tot per a obtenir les tres vistes de l’avió.

  • Transportation During the Eisenhower Era
    TRANSPORTATION DURING THE EISENHOWER ERA A Guide to the Historical Holdings in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library Compiled by Herbert Pankratz Abilene, Kansas February 2005 PREFACE Dwight D. Eisenhower was witness to tremendous changes in transportation during his lifetime. In his boyhood years, horse-drawn wagons were a primary method of local travel in Abilene and trips for any distance were taken by train. By the end of his presidency he was overseeing a space program that was working to put satellites and astronauts in orbit around the earth. The 34th President experienced many forms of travel during his life. As a young adult, Eisenhower became familiar with automobiles and acquired his first roadster in 1916. In 1919 he participated in a transcontinental Army truck convoy which crossed the United States following the route of the old Lincoln Highway. The convoy traveled 3,251 miles in 62 days and averaged about six miles per hour. Ike and Mamie Eisenhower traveled to military posts in Panama, Europe, and the Philippines via ocean liners in the 1920s and 1930s. In the late 1930s Dwight Eisenhower learned to fly single-engine aircraft in the Philippines and obtained a pilot’s license. World War II and the 1940s saw further developments in propeller-driven aircraft and jet fighters. General Eisenhower used a variety of aircraft to travel to many different military outposts.
