Rolla National Airport
A Field of Opportunities
* Public asset and land holding estimated at $5 million in
replacement value;
* Negative cash flow of $79,000 per year;
* Direct economic impact of payroll is $350,000 - $400,000;
* Undetermined indirect impact from regular corporate users
such as Briggs & Stratton, Kingsford Charcoal, PCRMC, UMR,
Wal Mart, State of Missouri and numerous intermittent
commercial users;
* Indirect benefit from Airport users (13,140
operations/year) containing an average 2 persons/flight
spending $50/day (conservative assumption) in the Rolla
region = $326,500 per year.
HISTORY OF
ROLLA NATIONAL AIRPORT
1958:
The United States conveyed to the City of Rolla by
deed dated October 6, 1958, the land known as the Rolla
National Airport. The tract of land containing 1204.74
acres with 165.29 acres of easement, was developed by the
United States for wartime purposes. It was conveyed to
the city under provision of the Surplus Property Act of
1944. The City of Rolla is required to maintain all
public airport improvements. The FAA also prohibits any
airport that receives federal or state grants from
deriving any profits from the airport operation.
Revenues generated by the Airport are not to go into the
City's General Revenue Fund.
1994:
The FAA Authorization Act of 1994 gave the Secretary
of Transportation authority to grant waivers to the terms of
the sale of the airport. If the City conveys any interest
in the property, the City will receive an amount for such
interest which is equal to the fair market value. Any such
amount so received shall be used by the City for
development, improvement, operations, or maintenance of the
airport.
The Rolla National Airport has two 5500' x 100' runways, and
is located in Maries County approximately 14 miles north of
downtown Rolla.

PILOT/CORPORATE SURVEY
Rolla National Airport
During December - January, 2001 surveys were mailed to a total of
120 registered pilots in the south central region of the MO Pilot's
Association to gain a letter understanding of the needs and
preferences of area pilots. 73 responses were submitted.
Similarly, a questionnaire was delivered to corporate/industrial
users resulting in 23 responses.
Based on pilot data the cessna and piper were the predominate single
engine airplane used at the Airport. 23 pilots identified RNA or
Rolla Downtown as their base facility. When asked about fuel
purchases from RNA 60% of the respondents indicated they purchased
fuel from RNA in 2001 with 85% of those respondents being somewhat
or very satisfied with the quality of fuel and service. Six
respondents were dissatisfied with the price of fuel. 95% of the
respondents indicated they estimate increasing their flying time in
2002.
The "Industrial Employer Questionnaire" was mailed or delivered to
any known corporate customer in 2001. A total of 23 surveys were
returned with half of those respondents indicating they rely on
RNA to transport at least some goods or services with 6 corporate
users indicating the Airport is essential to their economic
vitality. Sixteen respondents indicated their company/business
owns an airplane for business-related travel. Cessna was again
the airplane of choice but 7 planes are turbo-props and 2 are
turbo-jet. When asked for suggested improvements at the Airport
three businesses suggested precision approaches and two businesses
(plus 3 local pilots) expressed interest in additional hangar
space. Eighteen businesses purchased fuel from RNA in 2001 with
all respondents being very satisfied with the quality of fuel and
service. Finally, when asked if a planned industrial park were
developed at RNA three companies expressed an interest in locating
there.
