Regulations and requirements
The Federal Aviation Authority -- FAA passed the "Vision100 - Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act," which among other regulations also allowed for the allocation of the AIP funds for the facilities like hangars and fuel farms. This is stated in the law that the secretary can pay the funds "apportioned to the airport sponsor under section 47114 (d) (3) (a) and if the Secretary determines that the sponsor has made adequate provision for financing airside needs of the airport." ("Airport Improvement Program," 2004) Therefore all planners and builders are required to submit a business plan. In the event where the promoter of the proposed airport is not requiring the genera fund, still considering these guidelines will help in determining the profitability and the types of facility and structures required. The foremost concern is to evaluate the need. The plan must show the demand envisaged for the facility. There must be clear documentation that shows the intent to rent hangar space. There must be a very clear idea about the revenue that can be generated from the hangar or facility. There must be a comparison with other airports that provide similar facilities. "For hangars, the plan should show the rental fees for hangar space and the basis for determining those fees. For fueling facilities, the plan should show the amount of projected fuel sales, the amount of revenue to be received from each gallon, and the basis used to determine that amount." ("Airport Improvement Program," 2004)
The construction must comply with all federal, state and local regulations especially if federal funding is involved. All hangars will have to comply with the requirements that where the hangar is delegated for management to the FBO, then the FBO is entitled to management fees. The hangar is to be used only for parking the aircraft and the facility must not be used for other services like maintenance, painting etc. There cannot be any discrimination between users of the hangars. ("Airport Improvement Program," 2004) While some of these regulations apply to the funded projects, they also fit the general principles of the air port management. The considerations for selection of a site for developing an airport other than the Fixed Base Operator -- FBO rules will include passenger accommodation, aircraft facilities, hangar space, maintenance, fuelling facilities, flight crew and office space, the volume of traffic, noise laws, the runway, instruments and the mode of operation and security issues. The designs of hangars have to be in such a way that the moving of aircraft to accommodate another is minimized so as to avoid the damage that could be caused. Most companies prefer their own hangars or shared hangars that are leased out to the known players for security reasons. (Sheehan, 2003)
There is a need to evaluate the plan carefully because once invested there is a resistance to change. The existing structures or those already built cannot be easily abandoned and there is a general resistance to such moves. The funding for renovation and change may also be tardy. (De Neufville, Odoni, 2002) Therefore care must be taken over the existing structures and the proposed plan and both must be considered almost unchangeable. Hangar development plans follow the general development plans, and mostly relate to regulations and legal requirements, environmental issues, and the type of the airport. There are no general principles that can be applied at all situations and airports. A hangar development project essentially is like any other business development plan. The most important aspect in the development of the airport plan is the understanding of the existing facilities and the requirements concerning the airport and the systems like the regional transportation system. ("Airport Ground Access Planning Guide," n. d.)
This involves analyzing the improvements needed for airport ground access. That is the important place to begin, for without proper access the airport is rendered useless for practical purposes of civil aviation. The NFPA 409 regulation for hangar fire protection with regard to various groups of hangars like Group 1, 2 and 3 type of hangars are as follows: The group I types are required to be protected with foam-water deluge system. The hangars housing giant craft like the Boeing 747 should have an additional...
This airfield is still currently open and operated by a handful of U.S. government contractors. As Naval Air Base and later Naval Air Facility, the Navy operated and maintained facilities and provided services and materials to support aviation activities. Due to their remote Pacific location, the islands were often used as repositories for waste materials (DFW, 2011). Past operations and activities included construction, fuel and oil storage, dry cleaning, pest
Replacing the Current Mode of Commuting by a Share and Own Aircraft It is true that the executives of Acme manufacturing with the HO at Akron, Ohio are in need of commuting to remote sites at Chicago -- ORD, Seattle and Miami -- MIA and is a weekly affair at least for seven executives who have to travel to these satellite locations. The basic problems are that unjustified costs for
Aviation On a Tuesday in 2000, an Air France Concorde supersonic jet crashed. The disaster resulted in the death of 113 people. In addition to the casualties from the flight itself, the Concorde crash left a major dent in aviation history. The crash was not like any other airline crash. This crash resulted in the entire dismantling of the Concorde program, which had been one of the most romantic eras in
.....gentrification" was first coined in 1964 by sociologist Ruth Glass, who commented on the changing "social character" of districts in London (Smith 1996, 33). Glass critiqued the process of gentrification, however inevitable it might seem to a realist, on the grounds that it threatened to undermine social welfare. Gentrification cannot be discussed without reference to the intersections between race, class, and power. However, gentrification may be an unreasonably maligned concept
Failed Project Failed Engineering Project Many projects fail. That is the nature of progress. Thomas Alva Edison was one of the greatest failures that ever attempted a project (Beals, 1999), but he is also regarded as one of the greatest successes . His life is proof that failure can be a learning experience such as discovering a new adhesive (NAEP, 1999), but more often the failure leads to disaster and knee jerk
Honolulu International Airport (HNL) is one of the world's largest, oldest, and most beautiful airports. As the principal aviation gateway of the city and county of Honolulu on Oahu in the State of Hawaii, HNL is also identified as one of the busiest airports in the United States. Total traffic now exceeds 21 million passengers a year and is rising (Honolulu International Airport, 2016). Owned and operated by the State of Hawaii
