FACILITY REQUIREMENTS (approx. 444,000 square yards) of Priority 1 paved airfield surfaces. Airfield surfaces designated as Priority 1 (Critical) within the Airport Snow and Ice Control Plan determine the amount and type of equipment required to maintain those surfaces during a snow event. According to Advisory Circular 150/5200-30D Airport Winter Safety and Operations, equipment at EUG should be sufficient to clear 1 inch of falling snow weighing up to 25 lb/cubic ft from these surfaces within ½ hour. The average annual snowfall for Eugene, 18 Oregon is only 5 inches so while the existing equipment may be older, it is relatively lightly used. The existing SRE fleet is sufficient to meet current Priority 1 pavement clearance expectations, however it is important for the airport to include scheduled SRE equipment replacement at regular intervals in capital improvement program updates. Any replacement, renovation, or improvement to SRE storage facilities should be properly correlated to the size requirements of new equipment purchases. Aviation-Related Manufacturing, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul EUG is ideally suited to accommodate large and small aircraft related manufacturing and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) businesses. In regard to large aircraft, the primary runway and taxiway system can accommodate Group IV and V aircraft. That capability matched with an abundance of undeveloped land adjacent to the taxiway system, provides opportunities for large hangar development by aircraft and aircraft service businesses. Those businesses that cater to small aircraft can be situated beside large manufacturing/MRO hangars, or adjacent to other existing general aviation clusters, such as in the EGAR or the existing Hollis Lane area. Land should be reserved specifically for use by businesses requiring large hangars and direct access to taxiways able to accommodate large aircraft. The land reservation should be adequate for hangars that can accommodate aircraft from ADG III up to ADG V. An ideal hangar size for ADG III aircraft is 220 feet by 180 feet. For ADG V aircraft, the ideal sized hangar is 280 feet by 300 feet. Space for these types of hangars, as well as smaller hangars used to service smaller aircraft, should be considered when developing land use reservations for future development. Fixed Based Operators Fixed Based Operators (FBO) provide a range of aeronautical services that can include fueling, hangar facilities, aircraft rental, aircraft maintenance, flight instruction and terminal facilities. FBO’s are either full- service or limited-service in nature. Atlantic Aviation is currently the only full-service FBO at the Airport. The FBO is the only fuel provider on the airfield and offers both 100LL Avgas and Jet A fuel. The 100LL self-serve unit located in the EGAR is owned and maintained by Atlantic. Atlantic’s facility includes a 5,500 square foot heated hangar capable of accommodating jet aircraft up to the size of a Hawker 800. Additionally, Flight Craft, which is a subsidiary of Atlantic Aviation, provides maintenance in a hangar adjacent to the transient hangar. Combined, the FBO and associated hangars encompasses roughly 20,000 square feet of building/hangar space. 18 Data retrieved from the National Weather Service, November 17, 2016 EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 3-66
