City, Iowa Review of Phase I Report ° (Airport.Master Plan Project No. A-19-0047-01) Dear Mr. Jones: We have reviewed the preliminoy draft report for the :first phase of the Master Plan and we offer the following cosiments. BASIC DATA SECTION 1. Existing Airport Facilities (page 6) - We disagree with the statement that the Iowa City Municipal Airport is a "General . Utility" airport. Airport categorization is datemined by . several factory design and utilization being the primary ones. All three runways were constructed prior to the advent. of the Utility Airport classification, and they were constructed to a width :& strength considerably ip excess of Utility daed,p standardeas' ` Therefore, for certain climatic conditions, any Ione of the three runways Is•su6,jact,to being used by.larger than utility class aircraft, even though the runway lengths may be equal or only slightly in escase of the l4p4th.obtr11%ed from the runway length curves published in-AC .150/5300-4B. FORECAST SRCTICN We concur with the forecast figures presented in the Report but forecasts' need to be developed for the following additional activities and for the reasons indicated: 1. Annual Instrument Approaches - needed to deternine when planning for certain navigational aide Is justified. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 410RIES 2. r 2.Alr Taxi/dhari�a� Ooeratione - The Repprt indicates that the forecast of Charter operations includes only operatioris by aircraft based at,Iova City.Since thin types of operation'• is also used fof j"tk&yi4g navigational. aide the foreca should be revie r' 8 '� e Y�„to. mss !� an increa�a Ln the fotacaat^ values is appropw4P.

The design btaiida.040t, crosswind runways is tiie ane as for primerp iyiih i - The” fact that creeWrA runwa" are frequently aborter then primary runways is due to other consideraticaa..and for Utility runway design, the 80% factor represents the liolt''uW*r,which a lesser length does not constitute an, effective'crosewind facility. In the 'casr of'Iaw City, an analyai.e-*of all pertinent factors may disclop that extensions' -to the crosswind runways are not feasible, but it Is inappropriate to say that "there is n6 need td'axtend them". 2. Runway Len¢the For Bieaioan Joh The "Caution" parograph.en pegs 65 should be revised:'to indicate that the limlt of 700 annual itinerant operations is applicable to runway lsnaths obtained from curveq'other then the 0060% Fleet at 60% Usifui Load". Per Agency criteria a level of 500 annual itinerant operations to used to justify a Basic Transport Airport Category initially. 3. Croseriad Ca�ronent Desiaa - On page 67, in the second paragraph, the term "genera aviation" should be changed to r'utility". The term general aviation includes all aircraft outside the military avid scheduled•eir•carrier fleets, many of which are transport categost• slrowsft. .In turns 'the 15 40 rxo swi is the design standard for transport category aircraft. 4. Plannint For Han r' ce•-.:Contrary to the opening atatenent in [he last peregtep on page 76, the Agency has no ataadard for determining the percentage of based aircraft requiring hangars. For the Midwest, our office recarsmends using from 70% to 90% as e rule of thumb for planning hangar space. FACILITY REQUIROMT SECTION 1. Taxiways - The criteria mentioned on page 80 for justifying additional taxiways apparently woe taken from Advisory Circular 150/5060-1A.
