FACILITY REQUIREMENTS <br />3.5.5.2Electronic Aids <br />Electronic Aids include devices and equipment used for aircraft instrument approaches. The Airport’s <br />electronic aids are listed in Table 3-18. Analysis of the existing equipment and the needs at the Airport <br />indicate that there are no deficiencies and that all electronic aids are sufficient through the planning <br />period. <br />TABLE 3-18 <br />AIRPORT ELECTRONIC NAVIGATIONAL AIDS <br />Primary RunwayParallel Runway <br />Adaquate () or <br />Deficient (X) <br />16R34L16L34R <br />Navigational Aids (Approaches) <br />ILS or LOC DMEyesnoyesno <br />ILS CAT II-III yesnonono <br />RNAV RNPyesyesyesyes <br />RNAV GPSyesyesyesyes <br />VOR/DMEyesyesnono <br />Source: RS&H Analysis, 2016 <br /> <br />3.5.5.3Meteorological Aids <br />Meteorological aids at the Airport consist of an Automated Surface Observing Station (ASOS), Runway <br />Visual Range (RVR) equipment, and a Runway Weather Information System (RWIS). The ASOS was <br />st <br />installed on September 1, 1995 and provides real time weather updates to air traffic control personnel <br />and pilots, as well as recording data used by the National Weather Service. The RVR equipment uses <br />visibility sensors to support precision landing and takeoff operations by providing the lowest authorized <br />ILS minimums. The RWIS uses sensors and data analysis software to remotely identify pavement and <br />atmospheric conditions, assisting airport management in operational decision-making. All meteorological <br />equipment is adequate through the planning period. <br />PASSENGER TERMINAL <br />The commercial passenger terminal at Eugene Airport is served by a system of functional areas including <br />the terminal building, commercial aircraft apron, terminal curb-front parking, and vehicle parking. These <br />areas are specifically designed to serve commercial passengers. This section focuses on detailing the <br />analysis that was conducted to determine the capacity of the terminal building and the facility <br />requirements for each functional area. Commercial terminal facility requirements are based on the FAA <br />approved commercial passenger forecast which can be found in Chapter 2, Aviation Demand Forecasts <br />and the supporting Appendix B, Gate Schedules, Gate Occupancies, and Peak Hour Graphs. <br /> <br />The terminal building facility requirements were estimated based upon airport terminal planning best <br />practices and recommended methodologies which can be credited to various industry resources. The <br />methodologies and best practices used for this analysis can be attributed to guidance found within the <br />following resources: <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 3-29 <br /> <br />
