J. Ippel expressed concern that the scope seems limited as to what can <br />actually be done --only a few airports can have increased activity. D. <br />Daniluk responded that there are different levels of general aviation <br />coming into MSP and might be moved for different reasons. Also, the <br />critical issue is what is MAC's demand management strategy and what can <br />they do. R. Rought suggested that any airport could be designated as a <br />reliever without being tied into MAC. The study shouldn't be defined by <br />what MAC can do. In response, Daniluk noted that MAC can do things to <br />drive general aviation away. L. Thompson questioned if this study would <br />look at the distribution of aircraft between relievers --the City of St. <br />Paul is looking to relieve Holman field. Also, would like the study to <br />look at if the military can be moved, and what would that do to Holman <br />field. <br />N. Finney asked for the definition of general aviation for the purposes of <br />this study. MAC defines general aviation as anything that isn't scheduled <br />air service or military operations. The 18Z number used includes <br />charters, Federal Express, etc. Daniluk responded that this study is not <br />looking at charters, larger carriers or anything that borders scheduled <br />service. This study will look at Part 135 carriers, corporates and small <br />aircraft. <br />Case reviewed a series of maps which describes the regional system and <br />added that by the next meeting some of the inventory data should be <br />available from AvPlan. Referring to map showing search areas, V. Harris <br />clarified that Carver County has decided that if an airport is to be built, <br />it would be a minor airport --small size with no jet aircraft. <br />Several task force members questioned if noise impacts will be examined. <br />Daniluk responded that noise will be viewed as a constraint on system <br />analysis. Case added that as each master plan is updated, ways to meet <br />projected demand will be examined, and will include noise contours. <br />VII. Next Heetin? Date <br />The next meeting will be held sometime in mid -August. At that meeting, <br />forecasts and inventory data should be available. The meeting will be <br />scheduled at a reliever airport. <br />VIII. Adjournment <br />Being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:55 a.m. <br />cafrelvr <br />
