  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Aircraft Tire Data
    Aircraft tire Engineering Data Introduction Michelin manufactures a wide variety of sizes and types of tires to the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.

  • 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).
