AIRPORT FACILITIES FOR GENERAL AVIATION
Abstract
Several criteria relating to the handling of general aviation on airports have been developed. In many cases, modifications of existing criteria are suggested. These include the subjects of runway-length corrections, instrument-approach needs, airspace needs, annual capacity of air ports, guidance for planning separate runway facilities for general aviation, procedures for performing economic analyses, and the effects of airport accessibility. The study has concentrated on planning for general aviation in metropolitan areas. Observations of generalaviation operations at air-carrier and generalaviation airports have indicated that new criteria for determining the numbers of airports required in metropolitan areas are needed. In developing regional plans and individual airport plans,the importance of using a cost-versusbenefit economic analysis is stressed. The criteria developed have been tested by applying them to the Lambert-St. Louis airport and to regional planning for the Washington, D. C. area.
