FOCUS STUDY PURPOSE AND GOALS
“The Focus Study will be used to optimize investment in Ohio’s airport system with an eye toward safety, efficiency and economic growth.
It will identify needed system improvements, develop a framework for prioritizing those projects, and assess the economic impact of each publicly owned airport.
The Study’s findings will assist ODOT and FAA in making hard decisions on proposed airport development in a period of limited funding.”

PROJECT FACTS
• Inventory – All 104 system airports were visited– 100% response from airport managers– 70% response rate from economic development agencies– Data on 500+ general aviation airport tenants
• System Facts – Airports with:– 5,000-foot runways: 42– Air traffic control towers: 15– Weather reporting: 62– Precision approaches (ILS): 21– Jet fuel: 79
8
DATA COLLECTION – INVENTORY PHASE
• Airport Management Surveys• Airport Business Surveys• Pilot Surveys• Non-Aviation Business Surveys• Economic Development Agency Surveys
9
GENERAL AVIATION ACTIVITY FORECASTS
• Projections 2012 2032– Based aircraft: 4,687 5,182– Annual operations: 2.7 million 3.0 million
• Considered Ohio demographic shifts and national general aviation trends
• Jet Operations < 300 jet ops: 28 airports300 to 700 jet ops: 21 airports> 700 jet ops: 55 airports

AIRPORT CLASSIFICATION
• Identify how Ohio’s airport system serves our state today– Build on national FAA classification
system – NPIAS, Asset Study– Airports serve different market
segments– One size does not fit all– Availability of funding is not a factor in
developing classifications
11
AIRPORT CLASSIFICATION
• Air Carrier Airports – Support scheduled airline operations (7 airports, not the focus of this study)
• General Aviation Airports – Split into two groups, those that serve turbine (jet and turboprop) aircraft, and those that serve piston (propeller) aircraft
12
AIRPORT CLASSIFICATION
• Level 1 Airports – Serve nearly all the needs of general aviation turbine powered aircraft and their users.
• Level 2 Airports – Serve many, but not necessarily all, the needs of turbine powered aircraft.
13
AIRPORT CLASSIFICATION
• Level 3 Airports – Serves piston powered aircraft predominately, meeting nearly all their needs.
• Level 4 Airports – Serves piston powered aircraft, but may not meet all aircraft needs.
14
AIRPORT CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA
Criteria used following extensive PAC input:• Runway length – under/over 4,000’
• Type of fuel available – sales of 10,000 gallons of jet fuel
• Maintenance services available – turbine, piston, none
• Instrument approach capabilities – precision, non-precision, circling

OHIO AIRPORT CLASSIFICATIONS
16
AIRPORT CLASSIFICATION USES
• Develop facility and service recommendations • Measure system performance• Identify system’s capital needs• Assess service areas– Overlaps– Gaps
17
AIRPORT SERVICE AREAS – ALL SYSTEM AIRPORTS
Ohio’s Airport System provides convenient airport services to more than 97% of the population.
18
COMPLIANCE AND STEWARDSHIP WILL BE CONSIDERED
• Are airports in compliance with select FAA requirements?– Pavement maintenance – Through-the-Fence (off-airport access)– Leases – standardized – Land use compatibility– Runway Protection Zone controls– Runway Safety Area compliance

EXAMPLES OF COMPLIANCE ISSUES
• Through-the-Fence (TTF)– 26 airports have TTF activities– Considers commercial and residential properties– Are there airport/TTF agreements in place?
• Obstruction Removal– On airport– Off airport: Easements, land acquisition
21
UNIQUE ASPECTS OF OHIO’S AIRPORTS
• Aviation Education and Training– 73 airports with aviation education or training
programs– World class aviation college and university facilities:
• Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University• Kent State University• Ohio University• The Ohio State University
22
UNIQUE ASPECTS OF OHIO’S AIRPORTS
• A Leader in the Fractional Ownership Industry– Headquarters of NetJets
(Port Columbus) and Flight Options (Cuyahoga Co.)
– 1,400 direct jobs
23
GENERAL AVIATION TAX IMPACTS
• Annual Tax Impacts– General aviation fuel tax revenues: $15.9 million – Aviation services tax revenues: $13.7 million– Total sales tax from aviation: $29.6 million– Data on fuel sales and aviation services was collected
during inventory phase, high level of confidence– Tax revenues from aviation fuel and services NOT set
aside for aviation purposes
24
FOCUS STUDY - NEXT STEPS
• Finalize compliance evaluation• Complete Geographical Information System
(GIS) analysis of service areas, regional needs and capacity – gaps and overlaps
• Develop recommendations for system improvements
25
FOCUS STUDY - NEXT STEPS
• Continue working with Project Advisory Committee
• The draft system recommendations will be available for public review and input during the final round of public meetings in the Fall 2014
• Publish final report December, 2014
