5 <br />Airfield <br />The airfield at EUG consists of two parallel runways and an inefficient taxiway system resulting from repurposed pavement sections from a previous runway configuration. Existing airfield capacity is projected to satisfy future aircraft operational demand through the planning period. The runway system is adequate in terms of length and pavement strength, however, new shoulders on Runway 16R-34L would improve operational safety during larger commercial jet usage. The primary airfield concern at EUG is the taxiway system design which is unneccessarily complex and raises safety concerns. Many taxiways do not conform to current FAA design standards in in the following ways: fillet design; direct access from the apron to a runway; acute angle runway exits; and wide expanses of pavement. Following current FAA guidance, the Master Plan identifies areas to remove airfield pavement and areas to construct new airfield pavement. The most significant impact is the relocation of taxiway connectors for Runway 16R-34L. <br />The terminal area apron and airfield plan must be coordinated with terminal area development to ensure compliance with FAA design standards and safe accomodation of the critical design aircraft. For this reason, the terminal apron and the terminal area airfield were planned as an element of the terminal building development. <br />Existing PAL 1 PAL 2 PAL 3AirfieldCapacityVisual Navigation AidsInstrument Navigation AidsRunway Design StandardsTaxiway Design StandardsRunway Protection Zones <br />Note: During the completion of this Master Plan, the southern portion of Taxiway A, including Taxiways A8 and A9, has been reconstructed to address hot spot issues and pavement maintenance needs. <br />Page 15
