knots
� Crosswind RW 3/21 required to service small aircraft
� Combined both runway’s meet FAA’s 95% wind coverage
requirement for weather and aircraft size

PAPIs, Runway and Taxiway Lighting, Airfield
Markings/Signage
� Electronic Navigational Aids
� ILS, RNAV, VOR
� Weather Reporting
� AWOS – CAT I standards
� RVR
Design Standards
� Based on FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A, Airport
Design
� Organizes design standards based on aircraft approach
speed, wingspan, and airplane undercarriage dimensions
� Classified by Runway Design Code (RDC) and Taxiway
Design Group (TDG)
Runway Design Code (RDC)
� Aircraft Approach Category (AAC)
� Aircraft Design Group (ADG)
� Runway Visual Range (RVR)
Runway Design Code (RDC)
� Two most demanding aircraft at BIS
� MD-83 and Boeing 757-200
� Runway 13/31 RDC = D-III
� Consistent with 2016 Engineering Design Report
� RW 13/31 rehabilitation project to follow RDC D-III
standards
� Runway 3/21 RDC = C-II
� Serves primarily as general aviation runway
� Sometimes larger aircraft (i.e. A319) also use RW 3/21
Figure 3-3: Runway Length Requirements
Runway 13/31 Length -8,794’
� Current RW 13/31 length adequate thru 2035
� Meets 20-year needs of
commercial airline fleet
� Can accommodate 100% of
corporate (large) general
aviation fleet at a 90%
useful load
� Consistent with 2016 Engineering Design Report
Runway 3/21 Length -6,600’
� Current RW 3/21 length adequate thru 2035
� Experienced increase in usage by aircraft weighing less than
60,000 lbs. since 2010
� Can accommodate 90% useful load of small GA fleet
� Serves as crosswind runway for small GA during high winds
Taxiway Design Group (TDG)
� Taxiway design based on TDG and ADG of critical aircraft
� TDG determines the physical pavement dimensions of
taxiways
� ADG determines required taxiway separation, width of
taxiway safety areas and object free areas
Taxiway System
� RW 13/31 taxiways TDG-5
� Proximity to terminal drives
larger aircraft usage
� RW 3/21 taxiways TDG-3
� Provides noise abatement
benefit
Terminal Area - Building� Approximately 78,000
ft2 (current)
� Additional 50,000ft2
recommend by 2035
� Includes support areas
within terminal
� May vary based on
individual airport
needs and design
Terminal Area – Apron � Demand driven by
Remaining Overnight
Aircraft (RON)
� Five scheduled RON plus
charters
� 8-9 total RON positions
estimated by 2035
Terminal Gates
� Combination of schedule air service and charter demand
� Peak demand occurs in early evening
� Planning for 4 additional aircraft gates is recommended
by 2035
Terminal Area Parking
� 1,119 current parking spaces
� Parking demand
determined by ratio of
enplanements to parking
spaces
� Ratio held constant
throughout planning
period to determine future
demand
Parking Projections
� Rental Car spaces needed
� Ready return -75 spaces
� Storage -211 spaces
� Employee parking needed
� 56 spaces
Parking Projections
� 743 total public parking spaces
by 2035
� Short term -189 spaces
� Economy -117 spaces
� Long term -437 spaces
General Aviation Facilities
� GA accounts for 72% of total operations
� GA Terminal Buildings combine for 17,200sf2
� Expected to meet future GA demand thru 2035
� Future expansion based on needs of individual FBO
� Fixed Base Operator Services
� Full-service FBOs including fuel, maintenance, flight training
General Aviation Apron� A factor of peak itinerant
operations
� 5,625ft2 per aircraft
� Sufficient space for the
planning period
� Opportunities for future
GA growth � Bravo hangars
General Aviation Facilities� Recommend hangar space by 2035
� 63,000sf2 of additional T-Hangar
� 109,300sf2 of additional Box Hangar
� Aviation Fuel Storage Facilities
� 7.5 day 5-year average turnover rate Jet A
� 88.4 day 5-year average turnover rate 100 LL
� Space for future fuel storage capacity to be identified
� Air Cargo
� Some expansion to cargo areas and facilities
Support Facilities
� ARFF Facility
� Existing and future capabilities can be accommodated
� Need for expansion will be driven by size of replacement
vehicles (i.e. new 3,000 gallon truck)
� SRE Facility
� Currently over capacity
� Space for expansion of SRE facility to be identified
Support Facilities
� Airfield Electrical Vaults and Generator
� Continue upgrading vault components with lighting
� Consider future consolidation based on need and funding
� Deicing Fluid Collection/Disposal
� Continued protection for surrounding environment
� Use new technologies where possible to capture as much
fluid as possible
Air Traffic Control Tower
� Built in 1986
� Operating hours 6 am to 12 am
� No significant location-related issues
� Currently scarce funding for ATCT
� Opportunity for future technology
upgrades
Next Steps� Incorporate public feedback to demand/capacity and facility
requirements
� Respond to FAA forecast review
� Develop airport alternatives to address future facility development
� Prepare environmental overview chapter
� Identify a preferred alternative concept for development of Airport Layout Plans (ALP) package
� Hold SWG Meeting No. 4 (March 22, 2017)
