1 Bremerton National Airport Airport Master Plan Project Update February 12, 2013

2 Project Team Century West Engineering Northwest firm founded in airport projects completed throughout the Pacific Northwest Specialize in the planning, design and construction of airport facilities Experienced in FAA Process Capital Improvement Program Public Involvement Parametrix Environmental Evaluation Knowledge of Site Conditions Local Base of Operations Airport Business Solutions (ABS) Airport Financial Planning

3 FAA Airport Master Planning Purpose is to define the current, short and long-term needs of the airport Comprehensive evaluation of facilities, conditions, and FAA airport planning and design standards Incorporate elements of local planning (land use, transportation, environmental, economic development, etc.) that may affect the planning, development, and operation of the airport

4 FAA Design Standards Applicable design standards for an airport are determined by the Design Aircraft, or family grouping of similar aircraft. The Design Aircraft is defined as the most demanding aircraft that uses an airport and has at least 500 takeoffs and landings annually FAA funding is only available for projects that are consistent with FAA design standards. Projects must be included on the FAA approved Airport Layout Plan

6 Master Plan Key Work Elements Inventory of Existing Conditions and Activity Aviation Activity Forecasts Define Planning Assumptions (design aircraft, etc.) Demand-Capacity & Facility Requirements Analyses Identify and Evaluate Development Alternatives Define Preferred Alternative Environmental Review Prepare 20-Year Airport Capital Improvement Program Prepare Airport Layout Plan Drawing Set

7 The 2004 Master Plan provided a development concept that has guided recent airfield improvements Changing conditions present new challenges and a need to update and refine the Airport s long-term vision Our Task: develop an Airport Master Plan that reflects the Port s long term vision for the airport while addressing current operational needs and challenges

8 Financial Planning Financial Planning for the airport will reflect an understanding of revenue opportunities and anticipated costs associated with the Port s preferred development option The updated Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) will be consistent with the Port s financial goals and funding capabilities

9 Financial Planning The Airport Business/Strategic Plan being done simultaneously will address market-based rental rates and fees and define market opportunities and development potential The Airport Business/Strategic Plan and the CIP share common financial data

12 Inventory of Existing Conditions Since the last master plan was completed Kitsap County s population has grown by about 22,500 (<1% per year) Bremerton National Airport and the Olympic View Industrial Park were annexed into the City of Bremerton SKIA Subarea created Phase 1 of the SKIA connector road (Airport Way) was completed, providing surface access to the east side of the airport and adjacent property

13 Inventory of Existing Conditions Runway 1/19 was reconfigured/shifted south and rehabilitated with upgraded drainage New conventional hangars and access taxilane constructed in the north hangar area Six new multi-unit hangars constructed in south hangar area (south of Taxiway G) Avian Flight Center constructed

14 Aviation Activity Forecasts Based aircraft increased from 160 to 192, including 3 locally-based business jets Recent AVGAS deliveries are down significantly compared to 2002, despite an increase in based aircraft Jet Fuel deliveries steadily increased since the last master plan, accounting for 67 percent of total aviation fuel deliveries at the airport in airport operations (takeoffs and landings) at Bremerton National Airport are estimated at 55,588, up from 50,800 in 2002

15 Aviation Activity Forecasts U.S. General Aviation Activity Trends from 2000 and 2011 AVGAS consumption and piston aircraft hours flown declined 35% Active piston engine aircraft in the U.S. fleet declined by 9% Active sport and experimental aircraft accounted for nearly 14% of U.S. fleet in 2011, up from 9% in 2000 Active turbine aircraft accounted for nearly 10% of the U.S. fleet in 2011, up from less than 6% in 2000 Jet Fuel consumption increased by 47% Turbine hours flown increased by 29%

16 Aviation Activity Forecasts Recommended Forecast (typical mid-range) Based Aircraft: 192 to 276 (1.8% avg. annual growth) Annual Aircraft Operations (2.5% avg. annual growth): General Aviation, Air Taxi and Military: 55,588 to 90,503 Design Aircraft: Medium Business Jet (ARC B-II) Development Reserves Recommended on ARC C/D-II (Large/High Performance Business Jet)
