Q

Environmental Impact Study:

A

Req’d by ADAP-1970 and the NEPA-1969. An EIS involves analyses of the impact of the airport’s operations on the quality of the environment and ways to minimize its adverse impact on the surrounding community.

  1. aircraft noise (most severe problem)
  2. Air pollution
  3. Natural environmental values-parks, wildlife
  4. water pollution- sewage produced by airport facility, runoff water, industrial wastes, etc.
  5. Federal environmental policies

Q

Intersecting Runways

A

two or more runways which cross each other. Used when strong surface winds blow from more than one direction in a year and additional land for airport expansion is constrained.

Q

Centralized Terminal Advantages

A
  1. centralized set up of all functions, which in turn reduces costs
  2. centralized set up of passenger processing functions, reduces costs
  3. facilitates passenger control
  4. provides simplified vehicular and pedestrian information and signage system
  5. Centralized passenger service and amenities
22
Q

Centralized terminal disadvantages

A
  1. excessive curbside congestion
  2. overcrowding and congestion inside terminals
  3. constraints on expansion and creates adhoc growth
  4. may result in long walking distances for passengers
23
Q

Decentralized terminal advantages

A

1.decreases curbside congestion
2. supports systemized facility expansion and growth
3. less overcrowding and better distribution of passengers inside terminal

24
Q

decentralized terminal disadvantages

A
  1. high capital cost per gate
  2. high operating and maintenance costs
  3. decentralization and duplication of passenger services causes increased personnel costs
25
Q

Simple Terminal

A

A single common passenger services building with direct access through exits or gates to the aircraft parking apron. Grade level building. No connectors. Ideal for GA with low passenger volume. (Example 1g3)

26
Q

Linear Terminal

A

Extension of the simple terminal concepts with connectors. Passenger services may be separated by levels. Aircraft gate positions are aligned along the airside face of the terminal building and are joined by connectors to boarding areas of the terminal.

27
Q

Satellite Terminal:

A

Consists of a building surrounded by aircraft gate positions that is structurally separated from the central terminal structure and is usually reached by grade level, underground, or an elevated connecting structure in the form of a concourse.

28
Q

Pier Terminal:

A

Designed to provide interface between with aircraft gate positions along concourses, piers, or finger-like structures extending from the main terminal area. Concourses are typically connected to parked aircraft by jetways or loading bridges.

29
Q

Transporter Terminal:

A

The main terminal building is connected by vehicular transportation to remotely parked aircraft at an island boarding facility or gate complex. Transportation to parked aircraft may be provided by mobile lounges or fixed guideway systems.

30
Q

Fixed Pedestal Loading Bridge (1/3)

A

a loading bridge with an immobile base rigidly attached to the apron with a retractable upper section. Mostly supports push back operations.

31
Q

Apron Drive Loading Bridge (2/3)

A

Loading bridges with retractable upper sections and wheeled bases which allow additional mobility in different directions. Supports pushback and power back operations

32
Q

Suspended (3/3)

A

Relies solely on its attachment to the concourse structure for support without any attachment to the pavement. Can operate in a vertical plane with a chain drive mechanism. Mostly supports pushback operations. Becoming obsolete.

33
Q

Methods of bond sales

A

negotiated sale
competitive bidding

34
Q

Two main components of financial plan

A

Economic Evaluation
Financing Methods

35
Q

The Break Even Need (1/5)

A

Amount of money needed to cover costs for capital investment and the costs for administration, operation and maintenance

36
Q

Non depreciable investment (2/5)

A

assets with permanent value even if the airport converted to another use

37
Q

Depreciable investment (3/5)

A

Cost of capital used to acquire plant and equipment. Depreciation schedule depends on the source of funding for the project and applicable tax code provision (accelerated and straight line)

38
Q

Operating Expenses (4/5)

A

Includes administration, operation and maintenance costs.

39
Q

Sources of revenue (5/5)

A

a. AoA
b. Terminal Building
c. Airport facilities
d. Commercial Facilities
e. Commercial Services

40
Q

Financing Methods

A

  2. federal or state grants
  3. general obligation bonds
  4. self liquidating general obligation bonds
  5. revenue bonds
  6. private financing
