CHAPTER 3 FACILITY REQUIREMENTS south side of the Business Aviation Terminal. The aircraft parking ramp and tie-downs near the hangar are owned by EUG, with fees collected by Flightcraft. Flightcraft makes extensive use of the ramp near its hangar, to accommodate service to customers. Flightcraft Services has installed a self-service fuelling facility on the EGAR, and indicated they would consider developing an additional FBO facility to serve that area, as need arises. 6.2 Friendly Air Service Friendly Air Service (FAS) operates on the north ramp in a 3,600 sq ft hangar and 2,000 sq ft office. Aircraft parking ramp and tie-downs near the hangar are owned by EUG, with fees collected by FAS. FAS has four aircraft, based on the tie-down parking area. As their current facility has reached the end of its useful life, FAS plans within the next 3-4 years to abandon their current facility and relocate to a new 6,000 sq ft hangar and 2,000 sq ft office. A new larger facility will accommodate increased and larger aircraft. FAS plans to operate out of their current facility until the new facility is operational, as to have no disruption in operations. As most of the facilities in the north ramp frontal area, including the old airport traffic control tower, Friendly Air Service and Airport maintenance building, have reached the end of their useful economic life, the Airport plans to re-develop the north ramp area to better accommodate more modern facilities. 6.3 Heli-Trade Heli-Trade operates on the south ramp in a 6,400 sq ft hangar, with adjacent 1,200 sq ft of outdoor storage north of their building. Heli-Trade uses ramp space in front of their building, and helipads located in the northwest part of the airfield. Heli-Trade expects to soon add 3,600 sq ft of adjacent outdoor storage on the north side of their building. Heli-Trade’s current location is sufficient for their operations, but relocation to another part of the airfield would be considered if expansion could not be accommodated at their current location, or if their current location was desired by another entity, or for another purpose. Also, as run-ups are performed on the helipads and south ramp, another site would be needed if the helipads went away. 6.4 Lawrence Air Service Lawrence Air Service expects that their recent relocation from the old ATCT building, northeast of the terminal, to the newly constructed Air Cargo facility, near Runway End 34L, will accommodate their facility operation and service requirements for the foreseeable future. 6.5 Lane Aviation Academy The Lane Aviation Academy (LAA) operates out of a 3-building office/classroom cluster in the north area, and a 2-building maintenance/return-to-service cluster in the south area, both located at the west end of Airport Road. LAA also has aviation program facilities on the main Lane Community College (LCC) campus. However, LAA is vacating its facilities on the main LCC campus, moving the aviation program entirely to the Airport complex, and expanding the education program. All improvements are expected to occur without modification to the Airport’s existing security/fencing configuration. 3-15 Eugene Airport Master Plan Update (February 2010)
