OHIO AIRPORTS FOCUS STUDY 81 8 System Recommendations Introduction Previous chapters of this study evaluated FAA compliance factors and performance measures related to recommended facility objectives as well as the geographic and population coverage afforded by each airport in the system based on their defined role (Air Carrier, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4). Ohio has an excellent system of airports that provide and exceptional mix of facilities that provide good geographic coverage to all categories of aviation. Using the information presented in previous chapters, this chapter provides recommendations to improve the adequacy of the state’s airports at the functional level, as well as the entire system. Chapter 5, Airport Classifications and Facility Objectives, defined and evaluated facility objectives for each system airport. Chapter 6, Airport Compliance Evaluation, evaluated each airport’s compliance with key FAA requirements and guidelines to indicate resources necessary to bring facilities into full compliance. Chapter 7, Regional Needs and Capacity Analysis, evaluated the capacity of the system to meet existing and future needs in order to facilitate both day‐to‐day and long‐term decision making with regards to matters of legislation, policy, and funding. Voids in the facilities and services provided, geographic coverage, and compliance factors serve as the basis for determining recommendations for enhancing the future system of airports and thereby improving the performance of the system. This chapter will identify airport and system deficiencies and provide recommendations to meet performance targets through the following sections: Section 1: Recommendations Relating to Compliance Factors Section 2: Recommendations Relating to Performance Benchmarks Section 3: Ohio Airport Funding Conclusion Section 1: Recommendations Related to Compliance Factors Chapter 6 of The Ohio Airports Focus Study, Airport Compliance Evaluation, presented the level to which general aviation airports in the Ohio system meet several compliance factors. These factors are often tied to an airport’s grant assurances through Order 5190.6B, the FAA Airport Compliance Manual, and Grant Assurances Airport Sponsors. Accepting federal funding for the development or operation of a public airport, it enters into a contractual obligation with the FAA. Chapter 6 detailed compliance as it relates to airport lease standards, through‐the‐fence conditions, land use compatibility, local commitment, primary runway safety areas (RSAs), primary runway protection zones (RPZs), and pavement maintenance of the primary runway and other pavements. While airports in Ohio are urged to maintain or work towards compliance with all of these factors, this chapter only makes recommendations that are easily quantified through an estimated cost to meet compliance. Therefore, recommendations are made for the following compliance factors: Primary RSAs Primary RPZs Pavement maintenance Recommendations and estimated costs for each of these compliance factors are presented in the following sections. Methodologies for arriving at these costs vary depending on the compliance factor. In addition, recommendations for RSA and RPZ compliance issues are one‐time projects,
