AVIATION DEMAND FORECASTS include those related to health care, social assistance, and manufacturing of heavy items, which are all unlikely to use air cargo services to ship regular quantities of cargo out from EUG. In contrast, with the large number of technology companies in the area, it is assumed that some high value, light weight products are being manufactured and shipped out of Eugene regularly. Based Aircraft Based aircraft represent the total number of active, civil aircraft permanently located at an airport. Based aircraft categories include single-engine, multi-engine, jet, helicopter, and other. Historical based aircraft data between 2005 and 2014 as recorded in the FAA TAF is presented in Figure 2-7. The 2015 data was obtained from the most recent Airport 5010 Master Record. The 5010 Master Record and the FAA TAF data are typically the same, as the TAF pulls its data from the 5010. FIGURE 2-7 HISTORICAL EUG BASED AIRCRAFT Sources: FAA 2015 TAF Report, Data from Airport 5010 Master Record Airport administration records were examined for the forecast analysis, which includes data obtained through surveys sent out to hangar owners who hold ground leases with the City of Eugene Airport Division. These surveys are estimated to have had about a 60 to 80 percent response rate, and were dependent on hangar owners accounting for aircraft in all of the hangar units they owned. Because the airport administration doesn’t directly manage or maintain any of the hangar units at the Airport, no other convenient means of tracking aircraft in hangar units is available. Thus, the accuracy of both airport administrative data and TAF data is expected to have some variance from the number of existing based aircraft. It was noted in the 2016 survey that the majority of non-responders appeared to come from the single- engine owner category. Business aircraft owners/lessees had a much higher response rate, and thus this data is deemed to be more accurate. The results of the 2016 survey are shown below in Table 2-3. The total based aircraft of 156 is 29 less aircraft than the 2015 5010 Master Record indicated. Additionally, there were 5 less multi-engine and 2 more jet engine aircraft reported in the survey as compared to the 5010 Record. These factors were taken into consideration in the forecast section of this chapter. Further discussion of the analysis is provided in Section 2.4.4, Based Aircraft Forecasts.
