Chapter 2: Inventory and Existing System Performance Introduction A critical part of an aviation system plan is collecting comprehensive data for all system airports and assessing that data based on the established project goals. The data collection effort serves multiple purposes within an aviation system plan, including establishing baseline conditions and allowing assessments of the system based on the TASP Goals, performance measures (PMs), and system indicators (SIs). This chapter presents the findings of the TASP inventory effort (primarily completed using TASP Inventory Data Surveys and project site visits in early 2020), along with calculations of existing system performance organized by TASP Goal. As presented in Chapter 1 – System Goals and Performance Measures, the TASP Goals were developed to assess the performance of Tennessee’s aviation system and were developed with guidance from the Tennessee 25-Year Transportation Policy Plan (Policy Plan), input from the Tennessee Department of Transportation Aeronautics Division (TDOT Aeronautics Division), and input from the project Advisory Committee (AC). The TASP Goals determine how the TDOT Aeronautics Division will measure and evaluate the performance of Tennessee’s aviation system and ultimately serve as the basis for which TASP recommendations are made. Each TASP Goal has several PMs, SIs, and Supporting Data which serve to assess the system’s performance with regard to that particular Goal. The five TASP Goals include: Goal #1: Protect and preserve existing airport infrastructure by prioritizing airport system needs. Goal #2: Provide an airport system with available and cost-efficient transportation options for moving people and freight. Goal #3: Improve the safety and security of airport system users. Goal #4: Maximize federal, state, and local resources to meet the airport system needs and minimize environmental impacts. Goal #5: Invest in the airport system and the aviation workforce to support economic growth and competitiveness. This chapter is organized in the following sections: TASP Airports – provides an overview of the airports that were included in the inventory effort. Inventory Process – provides detailed information on the data that was collected as part of the inventory and provides links between the inventory and the TASP Goals that they are related to. Existing System Performance – evaluates the existing performance of the aviation system in meeting each of the TASP Goals, PMs, and SIs. Each Goal, PM, and SI is presented in both a narrative and graphical format. TASP Airports TDOT Aeronautics Division selected 78 public-use airports f or inclusion in the TASP, including six commercial service airports and 72 general aviation (GA) airports. All selected airports are open for use by the public and are eligible for state funding. Seventy-four of the selected airports are publicly-owned, while four are privately-owned. Of the 78 airports in the system, 69 are included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) and are therefore eligible for federal funding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). NPIAS airports include all six commercial service airports as well as 63 of the GA 1 airports. The TASP airports are listed alphabetically by associated city in Table 1 with details on each airport’s TASP role, NPIAS classification, ownership type, and use. Figure 1 illustrates the location of the TASP airports across the state. 2 Table 1: TASP Airports Associated City Airport Name FAA ID TASP Role NPIAS Ownership Use Athens McMinn County MMI Community Business Local Public Public Benton Chilhowee Gliderport 92A Turf Non-NPIAS Private Public Bolivar William L.
