I. R TR R NTORY <br />The initial step in the Regional System Reliever Airports Study was to collect data <br />on existing and planned airport facilities, aircraft activity and storage methods, and existing <br />aviation and community plans for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Inventory data forms were <br />submitted to each of the seven reliever airports for Minneapolis-St. Paul International <br />Airport, as well as other general aviation airports, to assist in collecting these data. On- <br />site visits were then made to each of the reliever airports to collect and verify the inventory <br />information. Transient pilots and registered aircraft owners in the study area were also <br />surveyed to obtain their input on needs for the reliever airport system. <br />The inventory conducted for the Regional System Reliever Airports Study is <br />discussed in the following sections: <br />Study Area <br />.
