Task 4. 1 Aviation Forecasts The aviation forecasts will be prepared, in part, using the local area Council of Governments demographic and aviation forecasts. Using these forecasts will assure consistency with other metropolitan plans, and regional planning initiatives. However, original forecasts will be prepared as well, using data specific to San Marcos Municipal Airport . The inputs to this task will include demographic information, historical aviation traffic and air service, auto driving times, air carrier statistical data, economic series, and a wide variety of assumptions. State and local demographic information sources will be consulted regarding demographic forecasts for the market area. The outputs of Task 4.0 will include a working paper and section in the final report. The following aviation forecasts will be developed for each operational scenario to be examined in the following specific categories: . Total Aircraft Operations (annual, daily) . General Aviation/Business Aircraft Operations (annual, daily) . Instrument Approaches (annual, daily) . Local and Itinerant Operations (annual, daily) . Aircraft Mix . Based Aircraft . Vehicular Traffic These forecasts will form the basis for determination of airport demand/capacity determination, facility requirements, noise and other environmental considerations and airspace planning. PHASE II - AIRPORT PLANS TASK 5.0 - FUTURE FACILITY REQUIREMENTS It will be necessary to determine facility requirements to satisfy short, intermediate, and long-range aviation needs. It is prudent to establish basic facility requirements early in the planning process, and work performed in this task will be based upon the conditions considered in Task 3.0 and the demand forecasts developed in Task 4.0. This will result in a basic facility development program for space required, functional considerations, movement of aircraft, airspace and operational considerations such as runways required, levels of aircraft activity, navigation aids, etc. Task 5. 1 Develop General A vlatlon/Corporate Facility Requirements Forecasts of future aviation demand will be the principle determinant of future facilities requirements for general aviation and corporate use at San Marcos Municipal Airport. An analysis will be undertaken and recommendations prepared for facilities development programs to accommodate general aviation and corporate users. The specific recommendations will be made for land uses which encompass tfle principle requirements of each kind of use, such as sizes of hangars and support structures, paving design standards, security requirements, etc. General aviation facilities requirements will be driven primarily by the numbers of aircraft and area required for hangars, tie downs and other facilities. Corporate users will be considered in terms of functional and operational requirements, amenities, access and other attributes. Upon completion of this task, the specific acreage required for initial, intermediate, and ultimate airport facility development will be known, and a comparative analysis of current vs. future facility requirements will be made.
