3 <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />Chapter <br />Demand/Capacity Analysis and <br />Determination of Facility Requirements <br /> <br />This chapter of the Eugene Airport <br />Master Plan Update identifies airside and <br />landside facility requirements. These <br />requirements are identified by comparing <br />the Airport’s capacity or its ability to <br />accommodate demand, to the Airport’s <br />demand levels and are analyzed in the <br />following sections. <br />Airfield Demand/Capacity Analysis <br />Airfield Facility Requirements <br />Passenger Terminal Facility Requirements <br />Air Cargo Facility Requirements <br />General Aviation Facility Requirements <br />Fixed Base Operator (FBO) and Tenant Facility Requirements <br />Support Facility Requirements <br />Surface Transportation and Auto Parking Requirements <br />Utilities <br />In certain functional/analytical areas, where the results from the 2000 Master Plan Update (2000 MPU) <br />are still relevant, reference is made to that planning document reflecting such. <br />1. Airfield Demand/Capacity Analysis <br />Airfield capacity is defined as the maximum number of aircraft operations that an airfield configuration can <br />accommodate during a specified interval of time, when there is a continuous demand for service (i.e., an <br />aircraft is always waiting to depart or land). This definition is referred to as the ultimate capacity or the <br />maximum throughput rate. The methodology used in this Master Plan Update focuses on annual service <br />volume (ASV), which is used by the FAA as a quantifiable measure of operating capacity. The calculation <br />and analysis of ASV is an important tool in the short- and long- range planning process at the Airport. <br />The recent reconfiguration of the airfield, from one with two runways that crossed each other, to a parallel <br />configuration, results in a significant increase in annual capacity. According to FAA Advisory Circular <br />150/5060-5, Airport Capacity and Delay, a parallel runway system with spacing of 4,300 feet between <br />1 <br /> Based on projected aircraft <br />runways has a capacity of approximately 320,000 annual aircraft operations. <br />operations of approximately 103,000 in 2026, approximately one-third of the airfields capacity is expected <br />1 <br />This number assumes a mix of Class C & D aircraft of between 21 and 50 percent of operations. <br />3-1 <br />Eugene Airport Master Plan Update <br />(February 2010) <br /> <br />
