Next Year Will Arrive in 2011-ishNext Year Will Arrive in 2011-ish"Forecasting future events is often like searching for a

black cat in an unlit room, that may not even be there. "

--Steve Davidson in The Crystal Ball.

"If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then unto me. "

--William Shakespeare

"It is far better to foresee even without certainty than not to foresee at all. "

--Henri Poincare in The Foundations of Science

Forecasting is the art of saying what will happen, and then explaining why it didn't! “

Small piston aircraft dominate the U.S. general aviation fleet. Business jet and turboprop aircraft still have relatively small share of the market

Almost two thirds of U.S. general aviation is for business or commercial purposes

Piston aircraft are deployed in more discretionary uses than turboprop and jet aircraft

Prolonged decline in single engine piston use masks growth in business jet and turboprop segments

Business jet aircraft utilization increased threefold between 1994 and 2006. Segment most effected by recent recession

Turboprop utilization has more than doubled

Is Airport Closure an Option…Is Airport Closure an Option…

The majority of U.S. airports are federally obligated Grant assurances that obligate the airport sponsor

will require the facility to be operated for a set amount of time (normally 20 years)

There is no limit to the duration of obligations for airport property acquired with federal monies

Private airports for public and private use have and will fail

“The FAA has only rarely granted a sponsor a release from its Federal obligations sufficient to allow for the closure of an airport, and then only in very unusual circumstances. A request for airport closure from a sponsor requires a demonstration that closure results in a net benefit to aviation. Because of the important role that this Airport plays, the FAA does not anticipate granting any request for release to allow closure of the Airport. The Airport is and will continue to be too valuable for that to occur.”

The current runway length of 3,300 feet limits the ability of current Airport tenants to operate aircraft at optimum weight for maximum efficiency

The Airport needs to comply with current FAA standards for Runway Safety Areas (RSAs)

The fuel dichotomy…The fuel dichotomy… Jet aircraft account for 17 percent of general

aviation hours flown but almost 75 percent of total fuel consumed

Greater emphasis on JetA and full service fueling Should airport allow non FBO tenants to establish

self fueling capabilities? Price of fuel should reflect level of service
