Executive Summary:
This brief will update the Mayor and City Council on the draft Master Plan update and request questions and suggestions for the plan. Following input from the Mayor and City Council, the Airport Commission, and the public, the draft report will be adjusted and a proposed “Final Draft” will be prepared. The final draft will be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for review and approval.
Our Aviation Consultant updating the Master Plan is Talbert & Bright who will be at the Work Session to brief the Mayor and City Council and request their input.
Background:
To receive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding, airport sponsors are required to develop and update a 20-year Master Plan document which is a comprehensive study that describes development plans to meet future aviation demand. This Airport Master Plan Update has been developed in accordance with FAA guidance contained in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans and includes the following elements:
1) Existing Conditions (Inventory of Facilities),
2) Aviation Demand Forecasts,
3) Facility Requirements (Based on FAA Airport Design standards and forecasted demand),
4) Airport Development Alternatives,
5) Facilities Implementation Plan (including cost opinions of the proposed improvements),
6) Financial Feasibility Analysis that describes the funding sources for the recommended projects, and
7) Airport Layout Plan Update that consists of a set of drawings that depict existing facilities and the recommended improvements. The drawing set includes,
a) Title Sheet,
b) Data Sheet,
c) Existing Airport Layout Drawing,
d) Airport Layout Plan Drawing,
e) Terminal Area Plan Drawings,
f) Airport Airspace Drawing,
g) Inner Portion of Approach Surface Drawings,
h) Runway Departure Surface Drawings,
i) On-Airport Land Use Drawing,
j) Off-Airport Land Use Drawing, and,
k) Airport Property Map.
Fayetteville updates its Master Plan every 10 years; the last update was in 2006. The update provides the airport with justification for facility improvements and helps to prioritize projects development.
