Airport Master Plan November 1984

6.8.2 Aircraft Maintenance Space and Apron No aircraft maintenance hangar is currently on the Airport. It is likely that, if the Airport is improved, a fixed base - operator would desire space. The general planning guideline is to pro- vide one maintenance space per 10 based aircraft. This is determined using 3200 square feet per single engine maintenance space and 4700 square feet per multi engine space. The following out- lines the maintenance space requirements: 1984 1990 1995 2005 22 31 46 3 4 6 25 35 52 6400SF 9600SF 17,500SF The planning guideline used to indicate apron area associated with a maintenance hangar /FBO facility is generally six to ten times the aircraft mainte- nance hangar. Smaller airports are reasonably served by using six times the maintenance hangar requirements. This provides space for the FBO to stack and unstack the hangar and to provide both long -term and short -term tie down space. The apron requirements are forecast as: 1984 1990 1995 2005 Apron Area (Sq.Ft.) 19,200 38,400 57,600 105,000 Apron Area (Sq.Yd.) 2,133 4,267 6,400 11,667 This guideline assumes that the FBO serves transient aircraft as well as based. If other transient ramp is provided with the arrival departure facility, the FBO apron requirements would be reduced and vice versa. 6.8.3 Aircraft Storage Hangars As earlier discussed, all based aircraft owners are assumed to desire hangar space. However, 208 of based aircraft are expected to either opt for long -term tie downs or be on a waiting list for new hangar construction. Adequate land space, however, should be reserved to develop hangar space for each based aircraft. Hangars should only be developed as demand warrants it. The following hangar requirements are projected: 6 -7 Based Single Engine 12 Based Multi Engine 0 Total Based Aircraft 12 Maintenance Space Required 3200SF 22 31 46 3 4 6 25 35 52 6400SF 9600SF 17,500SF The planning guideline used to indicate apron area associated with a maintenance hangar /FBO facility is generally six to ten times the aircraft mainte- nance hangar.
