pilots, passengers, and airport visitors). At most general aviation airports, a fixed <br />base operator (FBO) provides such facilities. This is true for all airports within the <br />reliever system, except St. Paul Downtown. For this study, terminal building <br />requirements were derived from FAA planning ratios that include space allocation <br />for the following:' <br />. Waiting area/pilot lounge <br />. Management/operations <br />Public comeaience <br />. Concessions <br />Circulation anti utilities <br />Terminal building criteria aze based on peak hour airport activity, and indicate a <br />need for approximately 50 squaze feet of space per peak hour passenger or pilot. <br />The FAA has indicated that the average number of occupants in a general aviation <br />aircraft is between two and three persons. Foc general planning purposes, the <br />number of occupants was assumed to be two persons for this study. <br />Table V-5 compazes the amount of terminal space available at each of the <br />reliever airports with these FAA planning standazds. Four airports, Airlake, Anoka <br />County-Blaine, Crystal, and Lake Elmo, may require the construction of additional <br />terminal space. -The terminal facilities at these four airports aze currently provided <br />by FBOs. The FBO generally builds additional terminal space to adequately serve <br />demand as market conditions and expansion potential warrant. Requirements <br />indicate approximately 2,000 squaze feet of terminal space will be required at the new <br />general aviation airport by the end of the planning period. <br />Federal Aviation Administration, "Aviation Demand and Airport Facility Requirement <br />Forecasts for Medittm Air Transportation Hubs Through 1980," January 1969. <br />V-31 <br />
