AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br /> <br />A IRCRAFT O PERATIONS P EAKING F ORECAST <br />A primary consideration for facility planning should be the peaking characteristics <br />of activity level. To the greatest extent possible, airport facilities should <br />be designed to be able to effectively accommodate normal peaks in aircraft traffic. <br />Historic ATCT operational data was utilized to estimate peaks in operational activity. <br />For the purposes of this study, it was estimated that the peak month would have <br />approximately 10.5% of total annual operations. The Peak Month Average Day <br />(PMAD) forecasts were developed by dividing the peak month forecast levels by 30 <br />days. ThePeak Hour operations calculationsassumethat 15% of the total PMAD <br />traffic would occur during the peak hour. <br />Table 3-17 depicts the forecasted peaking numbers for San Marcos. <br />TABLE 3-17 <br />AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS PEAKING, 2019-2039 <br />SAN MARCOS REGIONAL AIRPORT <br />2018 <br />2019 2024 2029 2034 2039 <br />Year Base <br />PAL 1 PAL 2 PAL 3 PAL 4 PAL 5 <br />Yea r <br />Peak Month 7,097 6,474 7,728 8,890 9,980 11,045 <br />PMAD Operations 237 216 258 296 333 368 <br />Peak Hour <br />35 32 39 44 50 55 <br />Operations <br />Total Annual <br />67,59161,65973,597 84,666 95,050 105,192 <br />Operations <br />Source: Garver Forecast Data for HYI, 2019 <br />F ORECAST S UMMARY <br />The various forecast elements discussed in this chapter are displayed in Table 3-18. <br />The forecasts, combined with the inventory data, will be used to identify <br />.
