  • 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).

  • 4. Facility Requirements
    JOSLIN FIELD, MAGIC VALLEY REGIONAL AIRPORT DECEMBER 2012 4. Facility Requirements This section identifies the airside and landside facility requirements for the Airport through the planning period (2029). Facility requirements for the Airport are based on several factors, including the relationship between demand and capacity for various Airport systems/facilities, deficiencies identified through comparison of existing conditions to applicable planning/design standards, and functional/operational deficiencies identified through discussions with Airport management, tenants, and users. The methodologies used and described in this section to determine facility requirements and capacity for various Airport systems generally follow industry standards, with adjustments made, as appropriate, to reflect actual use characteristics at the Airport. The determination of facility requirements for the Airport uses information presented in Sections 2 and 3, along with any additional information that more accurately reflects existing or future conditions at the Airport. The remainder of this section is organized by functional Airport systems, which are identified and summarized as follows: Airfield facilities – The runway and taxiway system, lighting, markings, navigational aids, and related safety and protection areas. The ability of the airfield system to serve forecast demand is evaluated in terms of runway capacity and design standards. Passenger terminal facilities – The terminal building, where enplaning and deplaning passenger demand defines the need for various areas such as ticketing, baggage claim, security screening, and holdrooms, among other building spaces. Requirements for the terminal curb and aircraft parking apron are also assessed. Tenant facilities – General aviation facilities accommodate privately owned and corporate-owned based and itinerant aircraft. Facility requirements evaluated include aircraft aprons/tie-downs and storage hangars.

  • 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.
