FACILITY REQUIREMENTS not designed well to fit modern wide body aircraft such as the Boeing 767 and 747. Those aircraft do not fit entirely on the pad. Large general aviation aircraft are also received in the cargo apron, which has a weight rating of 550,000 pounds dual-tandem gear. However, aircraft such as the Boeing 747 are too large to bring into the cargo apron using the existing taxiways. Essentially, those aircraft that are too large for the cargo apron must be parked on the heavy pads. Those same aircraft however, are the ones that are too large for the heavy pads. New positions for large aircraft are needed. In discussions with Lawrence Air Service, it was determined that two positions are adequate, but that the positions should be reconfigured and/or relocated to allow better use. Aircraft Hangars Understanding aircraft storage demand is an important element when considering facility requirements for general aviation based aircraft. The quantity and type of hangar space is driven by many different factors including: total number of based aircraft, fleet mix, local weather conditions, airport security, and user preference. This section outlines requirements for T-hangars, box hangars, and corporate hangars. These hangar types are generic terms for different sized hangars. T-hangars are small hangars that are typically arranged so small aircraft are “nested” next to each other in alternating directions. Box hangars are larger than a T-hangar and are often standalone buildings. Corporate hangars are the largest type of hangar. These typically will accommodate multiple aircraft and often have an office or lounge area built on the side of the building. Table 3-29 summarizes the number of existing hangar space compared to forecasted hangar demand. Hangar requirements were based on the forecast of based aircraft detailed in Chapter 2, Aviation Demand Forecasts. EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 3-56
