A summary of projects and potential funding sources for Flying Cloud <br />Airport is provided is Table V-1L <br />(']) Cvctrm plan GontinQencv <br />During the continuous planning process, it will be important to monitor annual <br />activity and based. aircraft levels at the airport to determine if its operations have <br />surpassed 80 percent of its capacity. At this level of demand, delay reaches a point <br />such that pilots typically seek other facilities. While projections indicate that Flying <br />Cloud will not reach this level of demand until the very end of the planning period, <br />possible constraints at other neighboring airports weld greatly increase its <br />operational demand. The development of a new airport in Seazch "A" has the <br />greatest potential for enhancing the long-term viability of Flying Cloud. <br />14. i.4iCF. Er.MO ATR_PORT <br />Lake Elmo Airport is located in Washington County, approximately one mile east <br />of the Village of Iake Elmo. The airport is located approximately 16 nautical miles <br />northeast of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. This MAC-owned airport, <br />designated as a minor airport in the reliever system, is classified as a Basic Utility-Stage <br />II airport in the NPIAS. E:btbit V-8 illustrates the existing airport layout and recommended <br />system improvements for the airport. <br />(1) Operational Capacity <br />Currently, the airport is operating at approximately 28 percent of its available <br />airfield capacity (estimated at 230,000 annual operations). Unwnstraiaed projections <br />indicate that demand at the airport will increase to approximately 47 percent by the <br />end of the planning period. With Lake Elmo being a likely recipient of diversion <br />from St. Paul Downtown, however, it will probably achieve higher activity levels by <br />the end of the ptanning period.
