AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br /> <br />aircraft, 16 multi-engine aircraft, 9 turboprop aircraft, 14 jets and one helicopter). <br />Consequently, 200-based aircraft was the figure used for the base year (2018) of <br />the based aircraft forecast. <br />One factor that should be considered to gauge the immediate potential for based <br />aircraft growth is whether the airport has an active hangar waiting list. Currently, <br /> hangars are 100% full and a hangar waiting list exists for available <br />hangar space. Currently, there are 109 unique aircraft owners/operators on the <br />hangar waiting list for the San Marcos Regional Airport. Additionally, one of the <br />FBOs at the San Marcos Regional Airport has indicated that they receive multiple <br />inquires each year from larger aircraft operators (e.g. turboprops, jets, etc.) seeking <br />hangar space at the airport. <br />Numerous forecast methods were used to predict based aircraft growth for the San <br />Marcos Regional Airport. Seven are presented here: <br /> FAA Terminal Area Forecast Growth Rate for Based Aircraft (3.03%) <br /> FAA Terminal Area Forecast Growth Rate for Based Aircraft with Flight School <br />Adjustment <br /> FAA Terminal Area Forecast Texas State-Wide Based Aircraft Growth Rate <br />(1.13%) <br /> FAA Terminal Area Forecast Southwest Region Based Aircraft Growth Rate <br />(1.04%) <br /> Growth Rate Based on Projected Employment Growth Rate (2.12%) <br /> Combined Population Growth Rate for Austin-Round Rock and San Antonio- <br />New Braunfels MSAs <br /> Average of All Forecasts excluding FAA TAF <br /> <br />Table 3-9 and Figure 3-6 provide a summary of the forecast models for based <br />aircraft anticipated at the airport over the 20-year planning period. <br /> <br />Activity Forecasts Chapter Page 19 of 36 <br />October 2020 <br /> <br />
