Based Aircraft <br />Based aircraft are aircraft originating and terminating round-trip travel at EUG and stored at EUG on a <br />semi-permanent basis. Most based aircraft are registered locally, and most are stored in hangars, with <br />some on ramps. Based aircraft include GA aircraft and charter commercial passenger service aircraft. <br />Scheduled commercial service passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft are not based at EUG, even though <br />they may be serviced and stored overnight at the Airport. There are no military aircraft based at EUG. <br />Aircraft at EUG for long-term service and maintenance are not considered based, nor are aircraft located <br />at EUG but not current for operation. <br />Observed based aircraft data is provided by Airport management, and reflected on the FAA’s 5010 form, <br />which the FAA maintains as it provides annual inspection of the airport, documenting airfield facilities and <br />features in the 5010. Having actual historical data instead of estimates instills confidence in using the <br />base data for forecasting. <br />Based aircraft presented in this Master Plan Update are categorized as single-engine piston (single), <br />multi-engine piston (multi), turbine engine (jet), and helicopter (rotor), as these types of aircraft compose <br />the primary mix of aircraft based at EUG. Other based aircraft, not in these categories, account for 2 <br />percent of based aircraft, and that rate will be maintained for forecasting. <br />2-13 <br />Eugene Airport Master Plan Update <br />(February 2010) <br /> <br />
