Technical Report Summary Report ALP Web Page Public Info Kit What are the goals of public involvement and environmental reviews during the master plan update? Balance the need for stakeholder involvement with the costs and time What does the existing conditions tell the airport operator? Historical review of the airport and its facilities, airspace structures and NAVAIDS, land use, activity and socioeconomic factors What are the various methods of forecasting, the factors that affect the forecasts, and the forecast models Factors: Economic characteristic Demographics Geographic attributes Aviation related factors Other factors Methods: Regression Analysis - ties demand to enplanements, population and income Trend Analysis and Extrapolation - Historical pattern Market Share Analysis - local forecasts represent shares of larger forecasts Smoothing - focuses on recent trends and conditions Whats the difference between Facility Requirements and the Forecasts? Facility Requirements compare the current facilities to the forecasted demand of the facilities What is the function of the Facilities Implementation Plan? List of potential projects to meet the Facility Requirements What is the function of the Financial Feasibility Analysis? Projects the impact the projects will have on operating revenues and expenses, etc. What is a Safety Area and why does it exist? Rectangular area including runway or taxiway to use in an event of an undershoot, overshoot or excursion What is the function of the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ)? Designed to protect the final approach areas What is the function of the Obstacle Free Zone (OBZ)? Extends 200 feet beyond each runway and 150 feet high to represent clear airspace What is the function of the Object Free Area (OFA)? Nothing except fixed by function, frangible or mobile Ground area centered on runway Explain how Stopways and Clearways are used Stopways - used to support and minimize damage to an airplane in the event of an overrun Clearways - end of a runway suitable for use in calculating aircraft takeoff performance Why are Declared Distanced sometimes used? For takeoff performance What are taxiway design principles? Main Gear Width Cockpit to Main Gear Distance 3 types of aprons 1. Terminal - passenger and cargo 2. Remote - for Remain Overnight parking or storage, also known as hardstands 3. Hangar - surface in front of a hangar used for aircraft movement What is a Stand Guidance System? Visual aids for aircraft parking locations What are heliport design principles? Maximum Wight/Minimum Contact Area Rotor Diameter Describe the construction safety meeting process 1. Pre-design - discuss parameters (pre-bids) 2. Design 3. Preconstruction - discuss phasing, security, labor, safety 4. Construction 5. Inspection 5 imaginary surfaces PATCH 1. Primary surface - centered on runway 200 ft past runway end 2. Approach surface - 200 ft from the runway end outward from the primary surface up to 50,000 ft 3. Transitional Surface - Extends upward at a 7:1 ration 4. Conical Surface - perimeter of horizontal surface up to 4,000 ft at 20:1 5. Horizontal Surface - level plane at 150 ft. Difference between 7460-1 and 7460-2? -1: Notice of proposed construction or alteration -2: Actual Construction or alteration (popped up) What are options the FAA could take related to an identified hazard to air navigation? What wont they do? FAA will request the airport or obstruction owner to remove, light, mark the hazard or relocate threshold or raise minimums 3 components of the terminal system 1. Flight interface 2. Passenger Processing 3. Access Interface Desires related to location and design? Passengers - close parking and protection from weather Airlines - short taxi distances and minimal runway crossings FAA - Terminal building not interfere Airport - Efficient HVAC, Asthetic and close business community 3 types of airports 1. O/D - high percentage of local and turnaround flights 2. Transfer - significant enplaned passengers transferring 3. Through - HIgh originating passengers/low originating flights How much terminal space is available for rent? 55% How much space is usable by concessions? 15-25% What are the landside planning assumptions? Curb length - 20 taxis, 25 private, 30 limos, 50 public bus Parking - 1,000 to 1,400 parking spaces per 1,000,000 annual originating passengers What are the 5 types of horizontal distribution models related to terminal design? Simple, Linear, Concourses, Pier, Satellite Explain common use and its advantages Efficient use of space, reduced expenses, reduction of ticket counters Design principles of wayfinding? Location, Conspicuous, Comprehensible, Legible, Concise 3 types of FIS facilities 1. Custom Accelerated Passenger Processing Service - two step, slowest 2. One stop - combined steps 3. Red-Green - nothing to declare proceed through Whats the FAA's position on co-located ARFF/SRE facilities? Can be centralized at smaller airports due to staffing What's ADA? Disabilities What piece of legislation started environmental awareness in the US? NEPA (1969) What is the FAA responsible for related to environmental actions? ALP approvals Federal funding requests AIP funded maintenance projects PFC approvals What is the airport operator responsible for related to environmental actions? 1. Reviews potentially affected environmental resources 2. Special purpose laws 3. Consults with the FAA 3 types of ALP environmental approval? Unconditional - approved Conditional - design good, enviro. not Mixed - short term good, long term not Categorical exclusion some projects by their very nature are unlikely to have an environmental impact Environmental Assessment little to no impact expected, "hard look" Environmental Impact Statement impacts are expected and mitigation measures may be necessary FONSI Finding of No Significant Impact - mitigation would not reduce environmental impacts below applicable thresholds
