• 5. AiRPnRT FA(:ii_TTf_F.S AND ACTIVITY <br />This section provides inventory data for Minneapolis-St. Paul International and <br />existing reliever system airports. Data provided in this section include: <br />. Landside Facilities <br />. Airside Facilities <br />. NAVAmS <br />Airport Activity Statistics <br />(1) iandside Facilities <br />A list of major iandside facilities was compiled as part of the inventory effort <br />to assess the adequary of the study airports to meet current and future demand. <br />Im~entoried iandside facilities include aircraft storage facilities, terminal azea, and <br />pazldng (see Table I-3). <br />(2) Airside Facilities <br />Airside facilities include runways, taxiways, and ramp azea. It is important <br />to document these facilities to determine the adequary of individual reliever airports, <br />as well as the adequary of the reliever system, to meet current and future demand. <br />Table I~ lists airside facilities for the study airports. <br />(3) Navigational Aids <br />The presence of adequate navigational aids (NAVAIDs) and lighting is critical <br />to an airport's ability to fulfill its role in the airport system. NAVAIDs include both <br />precision and nonprecision (visual) aids. Precision NAVAIDs provide approaching <br />aircraft with data on distance to the runway, the approach slope, and alignment. <br />Precision aids allow aircraft to land during poor weather conditions. Table I-5 <br />depicts existing NAVAIDs at the study airports. Typical NAVA1Ds include: <br />I-36 <br />
