  1. Airport Runway Rehabilitation Project Update Danville City Council Work Session August 3, 2010

  2. Current Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) design standards for airports with jet OPERATIONS similar to danville’s airport call for shorter, more narrow runways and taxiways than are now in place. To downsize Danville’s airport would significantly reduce its economic development potential. The Challenge: Accomplish needed federally-funded improve- ments to the airport’s primary runway while minimizing operational impacts and preserving important existing airport features. • The FAA ‘s capital project focus is on STANDARDIZING AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE rather than minimizing operational impacts during construction. The FAA should implement the Danville project in a fashion that sustains basic operations.

  3. Proposed Strategy: With assistance of the Congressional delegation and Commonwealth of Virginia, secure MODIFICATIONS TO Standard to allow for necessary improvements, minimize costs and operational impacts, and preserve current airport features.

  5. JET AIRCRAFT CUSTOMER PROFILEDanville Regional Airport July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010 TOTAL OF 294 JET AIRCRAFT ARRIVALS COMPLETED TOTAL OF 588 JET AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS COMPLETED MIX OF AIRCRAFT REFERENCE CODES: BII, CII, DII PRIMARY JET CUSTOMERS – NETJETS, GOODYEAR AND GIBBS INT. TOTAL OF 22 ARRIVALS COMPLETED BY GULFSTREAM IV AIRCRAFT GULFSTREAM IV DII AIRCRAFT REFERENCE CODE (77’.8 WINGSPAN)

  6. RUNWAY 2/20 REHABILITATIONFAA RECOMMENDED PROJECT SCOPE REDUCE THE LENGTH OF RUNWAY BY 607’ NARROW THE PRIMARY RUNWAY TO 100’ NARROW TAXIWAYS TO 35’ IN WIDTH CORRECT LINE OF SIGHT OBSTRUCTION – 2600’ MODIFY DRAINAGE ALONG 5000’ OF RUNWAY GRADE AREAS OUTSIDE RUNWAY - 5500’ REDUCE PAVEMENT STRENGTH TO 66,000 LBS

  7. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIESShort Term Impact AVAILABLE RUNWAY PAVEMENT WILL BE LESS THAN 3000 FEET JET AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS WILL BE RESTRICTED NO INSTRUMENT APPROACHES WILL BE AVAILABLE FUEL SALES WILL BE REDUCED BY MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT FLIGHT INSTRUCTION AND CAP ACTIVITIES WILL BE CONSTRAINED ANTICIPATED LOSS OF MULTI-ENGINE AIRCRAFT BASED AT AIRPORT

  8. CONSTRUCTION OPTIONSRUNWAY REHABILITATION PROJECT

  9. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIESLong Term Impact PAVED AIRCRAFT OVERRUN AREA WILL BE REDUCED IN LENGTH JET AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS WILL BE RESTRICTED BASED ON LOAD FUEL SALES WILL BE REDUCED THIRTY-FIVE FT WIDE TAXIWAYS WILL RESTRICT LARGE JET AIRCRAFT ACCESS AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE CONSTRAINED

  10. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND ACCESS A – Maintain runway length, width and paved aircraft overrun area B - Correct line of sight obstruction C - Correct drainage adjacent along 5000’ pavement section D - Maintain existing drainage system for new pavement section that presently meets FAA design standards E - Maintain width of all taxiways F - Program funds to accelerate project * Sequence construction work to maintain 3000 feet of available pavement
