Assessment of Prior Efforts

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 5

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Assessment of Prior Efforts

The following groups were consulted and outreach meetings held to gather input on the assessment of prior SASP efforts:

  • MnDOT Aeronautics Staff
  • SASP Advisory Committee (SAC)
  • Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
  • Aviation Consultant Community Workshop
  • Aviation Community (Minnesota Airports Conference, Pilot Focus

Groups, Drone Focus Group, Numerous airshows and fly-ins)

slide-7
SLIDE 7

What Worked Well

  • Map graphics in the plan
  • SASP level forecast information
  • Report card (5-sheet airport information)
  • Economic Impact Calculator tool is useful for airports and stakeholders
slide-8
SLIDE 8

Challenges

  • Does not adequately include drones
  • Could better educate public
  • Could use additional information on NextGen rollout and impact on Minnesota
  • SASP could include a package of tools for sponsors to share results of SASP

and its ancillary studies

  • Comparison tools/information for airports to compare against average or other

airports in their classification

  • Clarification on which objectives are requirements versus recommendations
slide-9
SLIDE 9

More Challenges

  • The plan is very lengthy
  • SASP did not contain up to date information after initial publication
  • SASP could include recommendations for funding which would help the

state prioritize funding decisions

  • Clear zone policy should be integrated into SASP
  • High level recommendations on the size of the system, is current size

adequate, too small, too big?

Objectives and Strategies

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 10

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Evaluation of Past SASP Strategies

Input from Airports Conference and TAC meeting:

  • There are too many strategies
  • Too many strategies dilutes the focus on accomplishing anything
  • Some strategies too specific
  • Move to a higher level
  • Allows a work plan to complete the strategy in a flexible and efficient way
  • MnDOT developing Strategies based on feedback

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Overview of Classification

Key Intermediate Landing Strip

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Key Airports

  • Paved, lighted runway
  •  5,000 ft of runway
  • Accommodates business jets and large multiengine aircraft
  • Possible scheduled airfreight and airline service
  • Near larger population and economic centers

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 31

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Intermediate Airports

  • Paved, lighted runway
  • < 5,000 ft of runway
  • Accommodates some multiengine and some small business jets
  • Often support emergency medical transports and manufactured parts

distribution

  • Enable direct connections across Minnesota and the Midwest

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 32

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Landing Strips

  • Turf, possibly lighted runway
  • Accommodates most single-engine and some multi-engine aircraft
  • May be unusable during wet weather and winter months
  • Supports agricultural industry

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 33

slide-34
SLIDE 34

What we heard | Current Classification System

The SAC and ACW said:

  • Intermediate classification too broad
  • Consider splitting out Commercial Service

from Key airports

  • Need a roadmap for classification change
  • Have classifications better communicate

role to community

  • Identify appropriate facilities for a given role

TAC Advisory Role

The role of the TAC is to gather the best technical ideas to carry forward for further refinement by MnDOT.

  • We do not need “answers”
  • It is great ideas we are after
  • This builds on the conversation from the SAC
  • Not all ideas will make it in to the plan
  • May be in other plans
  • May be addressed in another way

SLIDE 39

NPIAS/ASSET Background

  • NPIAS (National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems) is a system of

airports deemed significant to the nation’s airport system by the FAA

  • Based on service level, reflecting the type of service the airport

provides to the community and the funding categories authorized by Congress

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 39

slide-40
SLIDE 40

NPIAS Categories

  • Commercial Service (CS) Airports
  • Primary Commercial Service
  • Large Hubs (L)
  • Medium Hubs (M)
  • Small Hubs (S)
  • Non-Hubs (N)
  • Non-Primary Commercial Service
  • Reliever (R) Airports
  • General Aviation (GA) Airports

ASSET Categories

ASSET created to better define roles of non-primary airports (non-primary commercial service, reliever, and general aviation)

  • ASSET Classifications:
  • National
  • Regional
  • Local
  • Basic
  • Unclassified

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 41

slide-42
SLIDE 42

ASSET - National

  • Located in metropolitan areas near major business centers
  • Support flying throughout the Nation and the world
  • Provide pilots with attractive alternatives to busy primary airports
  • Very high levels of activity with many jets and multiengine propeller

aircraft

  • MN Ex: Anoka County-Blaine, Flying Cloud, St. Paul Downtown

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 42

slide-43
SLIDE 43

ASSET - Regional

  • Also in metropolitan areas and serve relatively large populations
  • Support regional economies with interstate and some long-distance

flying

  • High levels of activity, including some jets and multiengine propeller

aircraft

  • Some have limited air carrier service
  • Some serve as relievers for primary airports
  • MN Ex: Fairmont, South St. Paul, Mankato

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 43

slide-44
SLIDE 44

ASSET - Local

  • Critical component of general aviation system
  • Provide communities with access to local and regional markets
  • Typically located near larger population centers but not necessarily in

metropolitan areas

  • Accommodate flight training and emergency services
  • Moderate levels of activity with some multiengine propeller aircraft
  • MN Ex: Windom, Tower, Staples

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 44

slide-45
SLIDE 45

ASSET - Basic

  • Fulfill the principal role of a community airport – providing means for

private general aviation flying

  • Links the community with the national airport system as well as other

unique contributions

  • Provides emergency response access such as emergency medical or

firefighting

  • Moderate levels of activity with an average of 10 propeller-driven

aircraft and no jets

  • MN Ex: Preston, Morris, Baudette

State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 45

slide-46
SLIDE 46

ASSET - Unclassified

  • Part of NPIAS, but did not fit into one of the above classifications
  • Limited activity
  • MN Ex: Silver Bay, Ortonville, Springfield
