INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS AIR CARGO FACILITIES The air cargo facilities are in a separate area away from the terminal and general aviation areas. The facilities are located on the south side of the Airport, southeast of Runway 34L and south of Airport Road. Landside access to the cargo facility can be made via Airport Cargo Way. The cargo apron parking area is approximately 17,100 square yards and can accommodate either five Boeing 737s, twenty Cessna 208s or three C-17 military aircraft. The apron is made of asphalt and the PCI report shows this area to be in good condition with the exception of the southwest corner of the apron which is labeled in fair condition. Cargo for UPS is flown by Martinaire using one Cessna 208, and by Ameriflight using one Piper Chieftan. These aircraft operators use the ramp at different times of the day. In addition to cargo or military aircraft the apron is also used for charter operations. The cargo facility is approximately 14,000 square feet and is shared by FedEx, UPS, Lawrence Air Service and Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air. FedEx and UPS shipments are flown to/from Portland, Oregon. UPS leases 1,200 square feet that includes office space, loading/unloading space and storage area for shipments. Incoming shipments are delivered to the Eugene and Springfield centers. Lawrence Air Service, leasing 7,500 square feet of space, provides ground handling services as well as aircraft maintenance. AVIATION SUPPORT FACILITIES This section describes thelocation and condition ofvarioussupportfacilities important to the overall operation of the Airport. These facilities include FAA facilities, aircraft rescue and firefighting facilities, fixed based operators, fuel facilities, de-icing, airport maintenance facilities, and snow removal equipment facilities. A graphical representation of all the support facilities are shown in Figure 1-4. FAA Facilities The ATCT is located off of Douglas Drive, adjacent to the Short-term parking lot. The ATCT facility was built in the early 1980s and handles around 62,000 operations in a year. An operation is defined either a takeoff or a landing, so if an aircraft lands, drops off and picks up passengers, and then departs to a new destination, two operations have occurred. The tower operates under the control of FAA personnel daily from the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. When the ATCT is in operation, air traffic controllers provide clearance to pilots and vehicle operators on the movement area. They also provide takeoff clearance and instructions, along with providing pertinent weather information. The Cascade TRACON, is co-located with the Air Traffic Control Tower. TRACON provides services to guide aircraft approaching and departing an airport. Generally, TRACON controllers will work within a 30 to 50 mile radius to 10,000 feet MSL. Once the aircraft is within five miles and below 2,500 feet MSL of landing, the TRACON controller will hand the aircraft to the ATCT approach controller. Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting The ARFF building is located off of Northrup Drive, just to the north of the general aviation hangars. This ARFF facility is made up of one building, a practice facility that is located to the north of the building, two ARFF response vehicles and one disaster trailer. The details of this equipment can be seen in Table 1-9. EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 1-34
