Transcript FAA RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY DESIGN STANDARDS BASED ON …

DANVILLE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
AUGUST 3, 2010
1
THE CHALLENGE: ACCOMPLISH NEEDED FEDERALLY-FUNDED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE AIRPORT’S PRIMARY RUNWAY WHILE MINIMIZING
OPERATIONAL IMPACTS AND PRESERVING IMPORTANT EXISTING
AIRPORT FEATURES.
• 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 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.
2
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.

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
