thru 2035

Facility Requirements

Facility Requirements

� Design standards

� Runway and taxiway system

� Aircraft aprons

� Navigational aids and weather equipment

� Terminal area

� General aviation and support facilities

� Air traffic control tower

Wind Coverage

� 10 years of hourly observations

� RW 13/31 has all-weather coverage of 92.85% for 10.5

knots

� Crosswind RW 3/21 required to service small aircraft

� Combined both runway’s meet FAA’s 95% wind coverage

requirement for weather and aircraft size

NAVAIDs and Weather Equipment

PAPIs, Runway and Taxiway Lighting, Airfield

Markings/Signage

� Electronic Navigational Aids

� ILS, RNAV, VOR

� Weather Reporting

� AWOS – CAT I standards

� RVR

Design Standards

� Based on FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A, Airport

Design

� Organizes design standards based on aircraft approach

speed, wingspan, and airplane undercarriage dimensions

� Classified by Runway Design Code (RDC) and Taxiway

Design Group (TDG)

Runway Design Code (RDC)

� Aircraft Approach Category (AAC)

� Aircraft Design Group (ADG)

� Runway Visual Range (RVR)

Runway Design Code (RDC)

� Two most demanding aircraft at BIS

� MD-83 and Boeing 757-200

� Runway 13/31 RDC = D-III

� Consistent with 2016 Engineering Design Report

� RW 13/31 rehabilitation project to follow RDC D-III

standards

� Runway 3/21 RDC = C-II

� Serves primarily as general aviation runway

� Sometimes larger aircraft (i.e. A319) also use RW 3/21

Figure 3-3: Runway Length Requirements

Runway 13/31 Length -8,794’

� Current RW 13/31 length adequate thru 2035

� Meets 20-year needs of

commercial airline fleet

� Can accommodate 100% of

corporate (large) general

aviation fleet at a 90%

useful load

� Consistent with 2016 Engineering Design Report

Runway 3/21 Length -6,600’

� Current RW 3/21 length adequate thru 2035

� Experienced increase in usage by aircraft weighing less than

60,000 lbs. since 2010

� Can accommodate 90% useful load of small GA fleet

� Serves as crosswind runway for small GA during high winds

Taxiway Design Group (TDG)

� Taxiway design based on TDG and ADG of critical aircraft

� TDG determines the physical pavement dimensions of

taxiways

� ADG determines required taxiway separation, width of

taxiway safety areas and object free areas

Taxiway System

� RW 13/31 taxiways TDG-5

� Proximity to terminal drives

larger aircraft usage

� RW 3/21 taxiways TDG-3

� Provides noise abatement

benefit

Terminal Area - Building� Approximately 78,000

ft2 (current)

� Additional 50,000ft2

recommend by 2035

� Includes support areas

within terminal

� May vary based on

individual airport

needs and design

Terminal Area – Apron � Demand driven by

Remaining Overnight

Aircraft (RON)

� Five scheduled RON plus

charters

� 8-9 total RON positions

estimated by 2035

Terminal Gates

� Combination of schedule air service and charter demand

� Peak demand occurs in early evening

� Planning for 4 additional aircraft gates is recommended

by 2035

Terminal Area Parking

� 1,119 current parking spaces

� Parking demand

determined by ratio of

enplanements to parking

spaces

� Ratio held constant

throughout planning

period to determine future

demand

Parking Projections

� Rental Car spaces needed

� Ready return -75 spaces

� Storage -211 spaces

� Employee parking needed

� 56 spaces

Parking Projections

� 743 total public parking spaces

by 2035

� Short term -189 spaces

� Economy -117 spaces

� Long term -437 spaces

General Aviation Facilities

� GA accounts for 72% of total operations

� GA Terminal Buildings combine for 17,200sf2

� Expected to meet future GA demand thru 2035

� Future expansion based on needs of individual FBO

� Fixed Base Operator Services

� Full-service FBOs including fuel, maintenance, flight training

General Aviation Apron� A factor of peak itinerant

operations

� 5,625ft2 per aircraft

� Sufficient space for the

planning period

� Opportunities for future

GA growth � Bravo hangars

General Aviation Facilities� Recommend hangar space by 2035

� 63,000sf2 of additional T-Hangar

� 109,300sf2 of additional Box Hangar

� Aviation Fuel Storage Facilities

� Space for future fuel storage capacity to be identified

� Air Cargo

� Some expansion to cargo areas and facilities

Support Facilities

� ARFF Facility

� Existing and future capabilities can be accommodated

� Need for expansion will be driven by size of replacement

vehicles (i.e. new 3,000 gallon truck)

� SRE Facility

� Currently over capacity

� Space for expansion of SRE facility to be identified

Support Facilities

� Airfield Electrical Vaults and Generator

� Continue upgrading vault components with lighting

� Consider future consolidation based on need and funding

� Deicing Fluid Collection/Disposal

� Continued protection for surrounding environment

� Use new technologies where possible to capture as much

fluid as possible

Air Traffic Control Tower

� Built in 1986

� Operating hours 6 am to 12 am

� No significant location-related issues

� Currently scarce funding for ATCT

� Opportunity for future technology

upgrades

Next Steps� Incorporate public feedback to demand/capacity and facility

requirements

� Respond to FAA forecast review

� Develop airport alternatives to address future facility development

� Prepare environmental overview chapter
