FACILITY REQUIREMENTS The Lane Aviation apron currently has 15 tie-downs. These meet their existing fleet requirements and will meet their needs over the near term. If their fleet expands beyond the capacity of their apron, additional apron and tie down space can be constructed to the west of their apron. The EGAR currently has no tie- downs available on the ramp. The South Ramp currently has six tie-downs. However, these are configured so that aircraft can only be parked facing south. In discussions with Atlantic Aviation management, it was determined that another tie-down cord is needed to allow another six positions that could face to the north. The North Ramp currently has tie-down inlets for up to 61 tie-down positions. However, it is estimated that only around 4 tie-down positions would be needed in this area. These would be to serve the needs of pilots who may be visiting friend’s hangars in the North Ramp area. Similarly, the EGAR, which currently has no tie-down positions, would benefit from around 4 tie-down positions for the same reason. If a future FBO was established at the EGAR, then more tie-down positions may be required. The cargo ramp currently has no tie-downs. Discussions with Lawrence Air Service revealed that small cargo aircraft park on the cargo ramp and, on windy days, would benefit from having tie-downs available. The cargo services provider also indicated that three spaces would be adequate through the planning period. Table 3-30 summarizes the projected tie-down needs through the planning period.

General Aviation Facilities Configuration General aviation facilities at EUG are somewhat unique in that development is spread into multiple different areas of the Airport. This is a result of infill development over the years when the airfield systems were configured for a crosswind runway. The result is that today, GA developments exist on the north and south side of the commercial terminal, on the north side of the Airport adjacent to Hollis Lane, and in the area adjacent to the parallel runway on the east side of the Northrup Drive. With GA facilities spread over so many areas of the airfield, inefficiencies exist. For example, the self-serve 100LL station is in the EGAR, EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 3-58
