i-, • `/. <br />Element 3: Activity Forecasts <br />` Description: The development of activity ` forecasts. is a key issue in the master <br />' planning process. The Eugene Master.Plan will address commercial <br />enplanements, general aviation, military, cargo; and other activity. <br />' Forecasts will be developed to . describe an unconstrained <br />development scenario. This ty~e of approach will allow flexibility <br />and sensitivity in designing facilities to meet. the. Airport's long-term <br />potential development needs. . ~ <br />Methodology: As a propriate; estimates of short- (1989-1994), intermediate- (1994- <br />1999~, and long-term (1999-2009) activity levels will be updated or <br />. developed. These estimates are cntical in determining future , <br />Airport requirements, analyzing aTternative development plans, <br />assessing: the environmental effects of proposed plans,_ and <br />deternumng the economic implications of future growth and <br />development. <br />Projections of various socioeconomic factors will be used to analyze <br />. the future demand for aviation facilities at Malilon Sweet Field. <br />The following components of aviation demand will be forecast: <br />~ . Itinerant aircraft operations _ <br />- Major/national <br />- Regional/commuter <br />- General aviation <br />- Military <br />. Local aircraft operations ' <br />- General aviation/corporate <br />- Military ' <br />. - Training activity <br />, . Passenger enplanements <br />` - Major/national <br />- Regional/commuter <br />- ~ Peak month and peak hour <br />. Air cargo activity <br />. -Based aircraft <br />. Aircraft fleet mix ~ <br />- Based <br />- Operational <br />~ . . Vehiaular traffic <br />, -7- <br />
