AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br />airportat theirMaximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) with a full load of fuel to reach <br />their destination. As a result, a more detailed analysis utilizing the specific aircraft <br />types expected to use the airport in the future is necessary to determine future <br />runway length requirements. This analysis is included in the section below. <br />Runway Length Evaluation Based on Aircraft Planning Manuals and <br />Manufacturer Data <br />The sufficie <br />performance characteristics of aircraft that currently use or are forecasted to <br />operate from an airport. Information regarding aircraft performance can typically <br />be obtained by reviewing Airport Planning Manual (APM) published <br />or by contacting the aircraft manufacturer directly. <br />Based on discussions with airport personnel and tenants, the following aircraft <br />makes/models were selected for an in-depth analysis to study the sufficiency of the <br />length of the existing runways at the San Marcos Regional Airport: <br /> Large and Mid-Sized Corporate Jets <br />o Gulfstream 450 <br />o Gulfstream 550 <br />o Gulfstream 650 <br />o Bombardier Challenger 650 <br />o Bombardier Global Express 5000 <br />o Bombardier Global Express 6000 <br /> Other Potential Future Aircraft <br />o Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet 200 LR <br />o Bombardier Q400 <br />o Boeing 737-800 (cargo) <br />The number of aircraft operating at the airport in the large and mid-sized corporate <br />jet category are expected to increase in the future with the continued growth of the <br />local and regional economy and the increase in the number of aircraft in this <br />category that are being manufactured. The aircraft types identified other <br />d by current airport <br />tenants or airport stakeholders during meetings held as part of the master <br />planning effort.
