Lighting and NAVAID improvements that should be considered for the reliever airports based on these standazds aze summarized in Table V-2. A precision approach includes either microwave landing system (1VIIS) or instrument landing system (IIS) instrumentation. ILS instrumentation includes both a localizer and (glideslope) indicator. A nonprecision approach is an approach to either an airport or a specific rttmvay end using existing VORs or NDBs in the region. The titree reliever airports with existing precision approaches include St. Paul Downtown, Flying Cloud, and Airlake airports. With the exception of Anoka County- Blaine, a preliminary analysis of the region's airspace indicates that it is not feasible to implement an instrument approach to arty of the other existing reliever airports. Additional approach procedures aze rerntnmended for St.Paul Downtown and Flying Cloud to further enhance IFR operations at these airports. Anew general aviation airport in Seazch Area "A" should be sited to allow precision approach capabilities. While this new airport tray not reach operational levels required to implement a precision approach during the planning period, it is recommended that a precision approach be pursued once these levels aze obtained. This would greatly improve 1FR coverage in the high-growth azea in the northwestern portion of the metropolitan region, which currently has limited coverage by precision approach runways. Another key recommendation with regazd to the reliever system includes the addition of an ATCT at Anoka County-Blaine. This is recommended to facilitate safe operation of the recommended pazallel runway. It is likely that Anoka County- Blaine will reach the operational requuements necessary for the airport to be considered for an FAA tower by 1993. It is important for the airport to explore the vazious sources previously mentioned to implement the recommended tower. (3) Aircraft Storage Requirements Demand for aircraft storage at airports is directly related to climate and the type of aircraft based at each airport. Areas with more severe weather conditions V-23
