Q

What are the various methods of forecasting, the factors that affect the forecasts, and the forecast models?

A

-Methods of forecasting with: FAA TAF, state aviation system plans, airlines, forecasting seminars, tenants, local data sources, federal and state data sources
-Factors affecting demand forecast: economic characteristics, demographics, geographic attributes, aviation related facts (fuel, taxes, fees), other factors (landside access, user charges)
-For

Q

What’s the difference between the Facility Requirements and the Forecasts?

A

forecasts give a forecasts to future levels of aviation activity and area the basis for effective decisions in airport planning.
facility requirements compare the current facilities and services to the forecasted demand for facilities and services

Q

What is the function of the Facilities Implementation Plan?

A

how to implement findings and recommendations of the planning effort. this includes projected funding, land acquisition, sponsor-specific projects, agency coordination, and public coordination

Q

What is the function of the Financial Feasibility Analysis?

A

it represents the operations and maintenance cots to the airport operator, as capital projects are constructed. This will have an impact on costs per enplanement (CPE) and use different sources of funding

Q

What is the public involvement

A

an effective public awareness campaign. It shares info and collaborates on decision making. It should include elected and appointed officials, residents, travelers, tenants, and the publics (all of these are the “stakeholders”)

Q

What is the environmental considerations

A

it is an overview of the airports environmental setting. it identifies potential environmental issues before the study begins to minimize unavoidable environmental impacts and reduce subsequent construction delays

16
Q

What is the existing conditions

A

the step in the master plan where you collect data about the airport and the surrounding service area

17
Q

What is the aviation forecasts

A

it is the portion where you use current forecasts to prepare for future operations. You do this based off of based aircraft, itinerant aircraft, and it can be broken down by carrier, air taxi and commuter, GA and military

18
Q

What is the alternatives to development and evaluation

A

this process identifies the alternatives and ranks the elements in the planning hierarchy. It is usually used for major development projects like a new or modified terminal or new or lengthened runways

18
Q

What is the facility requirements section

A

it is where you compare the current facilities to the forecast to find the capacity shortfalls (gap analysis)

19
Q

What is the airport layout plan

A

it is the graphical presentations of the ALP set and they are updated to reflect the projects depicted in the master plan update and study

20
Q

What is the a facilities implementation plan

A

it explains how to implement the findings and recommendation of the planning effort

21
Q

What does it mean when the FAA “accepts” the master plan?

A

it means sound planning principles were used, and the “approved” the forecast and the ALP

22
Q

What is the TAC: Technical Advisory Committee

A

it provides input and insight into technical issues and comprises of individuals with relevant technical backgrounds

23
Q

What is the most effective method to engage the public and stakeholders and to solicit their opinions through the planning phase?

A

Open House

23
Q

What is the CAC: Citizen’s Advisory Committee

A

it serves as a sounding board and an information exchange group for stakeholders

24
Q

What should planners be doing during the environmental consideration stage

A

identify potential short-term capital development projects that might be recommended by the plan, and recognize the need to achieve balance between the human-made and the natural environment

25
Q

What are the Forecasting Techniques

A

Regression analysis, trend analysis and extrapolation, market share analysis, and smoothing

26
Q

What is regression analysis

A

a statistical technique tying aviation demand to enplanements, population, and income levels

27
Q

What is trend analysis and extrapolation

A

a technique that is uses the historical pattern of aviation activity to project future trends

28
Q

What is market share analysis

A

a technique that assumes a top-down relationship among national, regional, state and local forecasts, where local forecasts represent a market share or percentage of national forecast

29
Q

What is smoothing

A

a statistical technique applied to historical data focused more on the airport’s recent trends and conditions
