<br />. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />inq aVlation activity forecasts developed by the Texas <br />^cronautics Cornmlssion. Forecasts will be developed in the <br />following specific categories: <br /> <br />o Total ^ircraft Operations (illJI1Ua 1, daily, peak hour) <br /> <br />o General Aviation/Business Alrcraft Operations (annual, <br />daily, peak hour) <br /> <br />o Local and Itinerant 'Operations <br /> <br />o Instrument Operations <br /> <br />o Based Aircraft <br /> <br />o Vehicular Traffic <br /> <br />Forecasts of aircraft mix, essentlal for operation <br />capacity calculations and noise analysis, will also <br />be developed. <br /> <br />TASK 3 - PRIMARY FACILITY REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />ThlS task will be devoted to the determination of facilit,) <br />requirements to satisfy short, intermediate and long-range <br />aVlatlon needs. It is prudent to establish basic faclllty <br />requlrements early in the planning process, and work per- <br />formed in this task will be based upon the activity and <br />traffic forecasts developed in Task 2. This task will pro- <br />duce a basic xacility development program in terms of space <br />required, functional considerations, movement of aircraft, <br />alr space and operational consideratlons such as runways <br />required, levels of aircraft activity, etc. <br /> <br />The facility requirements will be identified for airport <br />purposes only, and will not incluJe any assessment of faci- <br />lity re~uircm0nts for other purposes, i.e., the Gary Job <br />Center or municlpal functions unrelated to aviation. <br /> <br />Upon completlon of this task, the generalized acreage re- <br />quired for injtial and ultimate airport development wjll be <br />known. Meteorological and climatological data will be analyzed <br />to confirm the most favorable orientation for flight traffic, <br />runway instrumentation, navigation aids, lighting and other <br />essential airfield facilities. <br />
