Title: Non-Traditional Airport Demand – Industrial Aerospace

Speaker: Rick Crider, A.A.E. - Port San Antonio / Kelly Field

Date: March 2, 2016

March 2-4, 2016 Salt Lake City, Utah

Legacy of Defense

• Many of the industrial aerospace activities in the United States today are accomplished in facilities and/or at airports that were developed by the Department of Defense

• In fact, a significant number of airports within the National Airport System (NAS) today were developed to satisfy a military objective before being deemed surplus property and transferred to local public entities

Why do we Care?

• Economic Impact

– Job creation

– Quality employment opportunity

• Impact to the NAS

– Industrial Aviation often requires airport land

– Industrial Aviation, therefore, impacts airport planning

• Location matters

– Industrial aspects within all dimensions of Aviation

– Ambivalence weakens our nation’s position as an aerospace leader

Title: Non-Traditional Airport Demand - UAS

Speaker: Todd McNamee County of Ventura Dept. of Airports

Date: March 2, 2016


• ECONOMIC IMPACT and INNOVATION

• AUVSI Study shows that commercial UAS could create 17,000 jobs in California and $2 Billion in positive economic impact annually over the next 10 years.

• Nationally that number is over 100,000 jobs and $80 Billion in Economic Impact


• The 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act – Sec. 332 Integration of UAS into the NAS

• Establish 6 test sites

– Sec. 333 Special Rules – EXEMPTIONS – Sec. 336 Special Rules – MODEL AIRCRAFT

• More coming in Aviation Innovation Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2016!! – FAA to EXPEDITE!


6 Test Sites selected through a competitive process


FAA UAS Center of Excellence ASSURE - Led by Mississippi State


The 3 Types of Users

• Public Aircraft

– Ventura County Sheriff operates AV Cube for Public safety under Jurisdiction wide COA

• Civil Aircraft

– Commercial operators

• Most operating under Section 333 exemption

• Exemption NOT CONSISTENT with Blanket COA

• Modelers

– Section 336


Public Aircraft Operations


Civil/Commercial Aircraft Operations

• This could be you!

• But… You must understand the Do’s and Don’ts


Exemption versus COA

Exemption Letter

– Pilots License Req.

– Up to 400 ft AGL

– Closer than 5 nm to Airport with LOA

– File a NOTAM

Blanket COA

– No Mention of Pilots License

– Up to 200 ft AGL

– No closer than 5 nm to Airport

– LOA is not available


Model Aircraft Operation

• Weigh less than 55 lbs.

• NOW – Register if more than 0.55 lbs.

• Below 400 ft. AGL

• Visual Line of Site

• Contact Airport and/or tower to operate within 5 miles of an airport

– Airport/ATC MAY OBJECT!


What’s Happening in Ventura County


Recent FAA Initiatives

• Modelers must register if they are operating UAS weighing more than 0.55 pounds

• Guidance to states and local communities to beware of passing legislation or ordinance that may be contrary to FAA regulations and authority

• Guidance to Law Enforcement to assist with enforcing FAA regulations


Small UAS Rule

• This is what everyone is waiting for!

– Less than 55 lbs.

– Visual line of site

– Daytime only

– Yield right of way

– Below 500 ft AGL

– Ops in Class B, C, and D allowed with permission from ATC.


Small UAS Rule

• What does this mean as a UAS pilot?

– Pilots of a small UAS would be considered “operators”.

– Operator Certification and Responsibilities Operators would be required to:

• Pass an initial aeronautical knowledge test at an FAA-approved knowledge testing center.

• Be vetted by the Transportation Security Administration.


Airport Considerations

• Coordination and Outreach – Partnering with FAA on PSA – FAA B4UFly App – Townhall meetings – Website

• Training of staff on how to respond • Aeronautical versus Non-Aeronautical • Design standards • Grant Assurance implications • Other


The Future is only limited by our imagination


And the Future is NOT limited by Altitude!!!

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

– George Santayana


A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away …

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away …

The Mos Eisley Spaceport – ‘A wretched hive of scum and villany’

Spaceports


Not so long ago, not so far away… Not so long ago, not so far away…

V-2 was the first into space – ‘Today the spaceship was born’

Spaceports


Only yesterday … Only yesterday …

The Space Shuttle – ‘It marks our entrance into a new era’

Spaceports


Today … Today …

Commercial Spaceports – ‘It’s not a matter of if it’s going to happen, it’s when’

Spaceports


Paradigm Shift

• Reduce costs

• Reusable vehicles

• Capture or create new launch business

• Did I say reduce costs?

• Amortize expenses more broadly


Suitable Launch Vehicles


Unsuitable Launch Vehicles


Paradigm Shift

• Reduce costs

• Minimize dedicated infrastructure

• Use existing infrastructure and operational capability


Spaceports: License Elements

• Location

• Flight corridor

• Airspace

• Local support



• Safety distances

• Flight corridor

• Risk analysis

• NEPA

– EA

– Sonic boom


• Safety distances

• Think 1,250 feet

• Storage of fuel and oxidizer

• OLA


• Airspace is a turf battle

• Expect TFRs

• The SUA dilemma

• No real- time traffic separation yet



• Flight corridor

• Model vehicle data



• Geocode flight corridor

• Perform risk analysis



• NEPA: EIS or EA

– FAA / Agency coordination

– Low number of operations

– Aircraft-like operations

– Rocket ignition at altitude

– Sonic boom


• Sonic boom



• Model sonic boom



• Select subject vehicle

• What about concept vehicles?

Default: Shuttle Shape 8 Weight (Klbs) 187 Length (feet) 121

Customized: RLV Shape 8 Weight (Klbs) 25 Length (feet) 31


• Demonstrate extent of boom

• No ‘acceptable’ level

• Where can it be heard?

Commercial Space

• FAA Office of Airport (ARP)’s mission is to ensure the

national airport system is safe, efficient, and

environmentally responsible and meets the needs of the

traveling public.

• FAA Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST)’s

mission is to ensure protection of the public, property, and

the national security and foreign policy interests of the

United States during commercial launch or reentry

activities, and to encourage, facilitate, and promote U.S.

commercial space transportation


U.S. Launch Sites – “Spaceports”

FAA has granted launch site operator

licenses to 10 commercial space

launch sites; 5 launch sites are co-

located with public-use NPIAS airports


• Proposals for a launch site operator license

(LSOL) at a Federally-obligated Airport,

requires an ALP approval.

• The LSOL requires a Site Boundary

delineation (and other proposed

infrastructure improvements)

• The ALP approval change also requires an

environmental action.

• ARP and AST continue to work together to

identify and proactively resolve technical,

legal, or policy challenges associated with

the proposed activities.

Commercial Space


• Many airports seeking to diversify revenue through non-

aviation related development.

industrial development

commercial development

Oil and gas

• Requires ALP approval (federally obligated airports)

• ALP changes require environmental action.

• Compliance and grant assurances still apply

Non-Aviation Related Economic Development

Opportunities


Competing Financial Interests

• Traditional aviation demands

• Emerging non-traditional aviation demands on NAS

and airport funding

o UAS

o Commercial Space

o Aviation, Non-Aviation related development


How much funding is available?

• AIP funding has exceeded $3 billion annually since 2001

• FAA funds up to 75% of the eligible project cost at major airports and up to 90% at small airports (Some exceptions)

• Other funding sources for commercial service airports include:

o Passenger Facility Charges (PFC), bonds, aeronautical fees, & airport operating revenue.

The latest estimate of

AIP eligible

development

indicates an annual

need of about $6.7B

at 3,332 NPIAS

• There are overlapping interests in the airport

‘ecosystem’.

• There is a competing interest for limited financial

resources

• Activity Measures (aircraft, passenger, operations) provide

one means to categorize airports. However, we are

open to have consider other factors that highlight the

unique roles of airports in our decision making

processes.

• As the system evolves, we will continue to adapt.
