'1bis is due to the fact that the airport is uncontrolled and <br />the Air Traffic Caltrolling Aqency with jurisdiction does not record <br />or maintain a log of actual instrument approaches at the airport. <br /> <br />'l11ere is an ~ed instrument awroach to the airport at the present <br />time; and the addition of a VOR navigation aid and an Instrument <br />Landing System (ILS) to Runway 12/30 have increased the numbers of <br />actual and practice instrument approaches to the airport. These <br />increases are included in the activity forecasts. <br /> <br />Air earn...- Activity Pm]ect:ials <br /> <br />At the present time, no air carrier or commuter airlines serve the San <br />Marcos Airport. The major metropolitan airports in Austin and San <br />Antonio provide excellent air carrier service to the central Texas <br />regi.al and are located within a rea.sooable distance from San Marcos. <br /> <br />'!here are no indications at this time that there would be sufficient <br />demand generated in the San Marcos area to warrant scheduled air line <br />service; however, there is a possibility that with increased <br />IX'P,l~tion and industrial growth over the long term, commuter airline <br />services may be feasible to cumect San Marcos with the major airports <br />in the area. <br /> <br />.........rnal Ax-.

As the airport develops, it is anticipated that there <br />will be substantial growth and demand for these kinds of facilities. <br /> <br />1.13 <br />
