CHAPTER 3 FACILITY REQUIREMENTS North and South Ramps The north and south ramps have long been home to corporate and general aviation. These areas are substantially developed, serving FBO’s, tenants, and transient aircraft. Both ramps have box hangars, T- hangars, heavy aircraft parking areas, aircraft parking with tie-downs, and mobile fueling service. The south ramp is expected to become fully developed with the anticipated developments of Flightcraft and LAA. The north ramp is expected to become fully developed with the anticipated re-development of the old ATCT and Friendly Air Service facilities. Consideration should be given to the efficient layout of areas of increased pavement strength for heavy aircraft, and for the continual modernization of airport facilities in these areas. East General Aviation Ramp The East General Aviation Ramp (EGAR) is located on the east side of the airport, west of Taxiway B, at the north end of Northrop Drive. EGAR is east of the Airport terminal area, with ground access by entry from the south. Since the airfield reconfiguration with Runway 16L/34R, EGAR has become more prominent, as it is located adjacent to the parallel runway. EGAR is home to box hangars and T-hangars, and a self-fueling facility. EGAR has the ability to accommodate additional FBO, corporate and general aviation development. Consideration should be given to the efficient layout for future development, including concerns about ATCT visibility requirements. Hollis Lane Aviation Area The Hollis Lane Aviation Area is located on the north side of the Airport, north of Taxiway C, at the south end of Hollis Lane. The Hollis area is not contiguous to the Airport terminal area, and landside access is by entry from the north. Since the airfield reconfiguration with Runway 16L/34R, the Hollis area has become more prominent, as it is located in the central airfield, and provides proximity to both runways. The Hollis area is home to Airport maintenance and snow removal equipment storage, corporate hangars, and an on-airport business. The Hollis area has the ability to accommodate development of airport maintenance, corporate and general aviation, fueling and FBO service, and on-airport business facilities. Consideration should be given to the efficient layout for future development, so that facilities requiring airside access are appropriately sited among those with other needs. Together, these areas have the ability to meet the corporate and general aviation demand expected at EUG through 2026. 6. FBO and Tenant Facility Requirements EUG depends on the FBO and tenants, and intends to accommodate them as they operate and develop. The following were contacted regarding their expected facility requirements. 6.1 Flightcraft Services Flightcraft Services operates on the south ramp in a 20,700 sq ft facility. Flightcraft expects to break ground in 2007 on a 3,600 sq ft Business Aviation Terminal, connecting to the west side of their existing hangar. In 2008, they expect to follow up with a 24,000 sq ft hangar, for larger aircraft, connecting to 3-14 Eugene Airport Master Plan Update (February 2010)
