AVIATION DEMAND FORECASTS <br />FIGURE2-17 <br />PASSENGER ENPLANEMENT SCENARIO COMPARISON <br /> <br />Enplanements <br />Sources: FAA 2015 TAF, Preliminary FAA 2016 TAF data, RS&H Computations, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Woods and Poole, 2016 <br /> <br />Design Day/Design Hour Analysis <br />In developing design day and design hour forecasts, consideration was made to determine a baseline <br />flight schedule, representing the average peak day of the year that would fit within the range of <br />passenger enplanement activity discussed in the previous section. This required the peak month be <br />identified and a flight schedule for the peak day within that month be determined. <br /> <br />Historical passenger enplanement data, shown in Figure 2-18 for Eugene Airport shows the summer <br />months as being slightly busier than the rest of the year. Passenger traffic in the months of June, July, and <br />August are generally very close in enplanement levels. Because July is historically the busiest month of the <br />year at EUG, the 2016 July schedule was used as the baseline schedule for the forecast analysis. <br /> <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 2-25 <br /> <br />
