Study Notes
Master Planning Project
- The preferable and most often used arrangement for master planning projects is not specified.
Elements of Master Plan
- The " Aviation Forecasts" topic of the master plan addresses answering critical questions.
- The "Aviation Activity Forecasts" topic addresses planning activity levels that specify greater, future levels of aviation activity increasingly used as an alternative to forecast years.
- The "Data Collection and Forecasting" topic addresses how the airport should identify available forecasts produced by state and regional plans, the FAA Terminal Area Forecast, and current inventory data.
- The "Decision Point Schedule" topic indicates decision points when continued work would require FAA or airport sponsor approval to proceed.
- The "Work Plan and Budget" topic addresses the specific work products, along with the level of detail required in each.
- The "Scope of Work and Fees" topic addresses the scope of work and associated fees that are determined concurrently, but there are often scope items that may require separate fees.
Public Involvement
- The FAA prefers an "Iterative" format to keep the public informed about the status of the master plan process.
- "Public Involvement" often includes informational and educational materials such as fact sheets, flyers, press releases, newspaper ads, social media, and web pages with interactive self-guided presentations.
Technical Advisory Committee
- A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) provides input and insight into technical issues and comprises individuals with relevant technical backgrounds.
- A TAC serves as a sounding board and an information exchange group for stakeholders.
Forecasting
- Aviation forecasts are used to determine the need for new or expanded facilities and are forecast for short, intermediate, and long-range time frames.
- The FAA Terminal Area Forecast is the official FAA forecast of aviation activity for U.S. airports and the baseline for airport forecasting.
- Short-term forecasts up to 5 years in length justify near-term development and support operational planning and environmental improvement programs.
- Long-term forecasts used for general planning normally go beyond 20 years.
Aircraft Operations
- An "Aircraft Operation" is defined as a takeoff or a landing at an airport.
- A "Touch and Go" operation counts as two sequential operations — one landing and one takeoff.
- "Local Aircraft Operations" are arrivals and departures of aircraft that operate in the local traffic pattern or within sight of the tower, departing from or arriving from flights in local training areas within a 30-mile radius of the airport or the air traffic control tower.
- "Itinerant Operations" are arrivals and departures other than the local operations.
Passenger and Cargo
- "Enplanements" refer to the total number of paying passengers who are departing on commercial aircraft.
- "Air Cargo" includes the total tonnage of priority, non-priority, and foreign mail, express, and freight departing on aircraft at an airport, to include originations, stopovers, and transfer.
Forecasting Techniques
- "Econometric Analysis" is a statistical technique that ties aviation demand to enplanements, population, and income levels.
- "Time Series Analysis" is a technique that uses the historical pattern of aviation activity to project future trends.
- "Market Share Analysis" is a technique that assumes a top-down relationship among national, regional, state, and local forecasts, where local forecasts represent a market share or percentage of national forecasts.
- "Trend Analysis" is a statistical technique applied to historical data focused more on the airport’s recent trends and conditions.
Other
- "Fractional Ownership" users utilize aircraft such as the PC-12 and Cirrus SR22 with flights approximately the cost of a commercial airline first-class ticket.
- A "High-Speed Rail" transportation system may increase landside traffic to the airport but arriving by air.
- "NextGen" implementation has led to changes to traditional aircraft flight patterns, an increase in noise complaints from areas that traditionally have not complained about noise, and additional airport capacity effects.
- The "Peak Hour Demand" is often based on the busiest 60-minute period of the day.
Airport Operations
- "Airside" refers to the portion of the airport where aircraft take off, land, taxi, park, receive service, and essentially conduct flight-related operations.
- "Landside" consists of intermodal and ground access areas, such as ingress and egress routes to the terminal building, parking lots and garages, rental car facilities, cell phone lots, public transportation areas, shared-ride areas, subway or light rail access areas, and airport support areas such as loading docks and service roads.
- The "Terminal Curbside" is the transition point where passengers move from landside to airside and back.
- "Airport Support Facilities" area of the master plan can include recreational facilities, industrial parks, stormwater retention and snow storage areas, agricultural areas, and retail businesses.
