BACKGROUND AND INVENTORY CHAPTER 1 <br />Since 2002, total aircraft operations at EUG have been the lowest recorded by the FAA in their <br />Terminal Area Forecast (TAF). Much of the decline can be attributed to fewer general aviation <br />operations. <br />Operations at EUG generally reflect national trends. From 2000 to 2004, operations at towered <br />airports declined around 12%, but in 2005, general aviation operations at towered airports increased <br />around 2%, a trend which EUG is not reflecting. <br />5.3 Based Aircraft <br />Based aircraft are aircraft stationed at an airport on a long-term basis. Based aircraft at EUG had <br />peaks in the early 1990’s and late 1990’s, increased from 20032005, and decreased in 2006 (see <br />Graph 1-3 <br />). The fleet mix has also changed, such that in 2004, based jet aircraft began to outnumber <br />multi-engine aircraft. Single engine aircraft continue to be the dominant based aircraft type at EUG. <br />Graph 1-3: Historical Based Aircraft 1980-2006 <br />250 <br />200 <br />150 <br />100 <br />50 <br />0 <br />Year <br />TotalSingle EngineMulti EngineJetHelicopter <br />Source: Airport management records <br />1-29 <br />Eugene Airport Master Plan Update <br />(February 2010) <br /> <br />
