  1. Runway 4-22 Safety Area Environmental Assessment May 10, 2011

  2. Lewiston Jct Rd Runway 4-22 Runway 4-22 Hotel Rd

  3. Purpose 1. Improve safety by providing, to the extent practicable, runway safety areas that meet FAA standards for the design aircraft. 2. Provide sufficient landing length on the primary runway (04-22) to support the current design aircraft. 3. Improve the all-weather availability and reliability of the airport. 4. Improve safety by meeting, to the extent practicable, FAA obstruction clearance standards.

  4. Need 1. LEW currently has non-standard runway safety areas. 2. The ‘Runway 4-22 Safety Area and Extension Study’ January 2010 justifies and recommends a 6,000-foot runway length. Runway 4-22 is currently 5,001-feet. A copy of the January 2010 Study may be viewed here.

  5. Projected Based Aircraft Fleet Mix

  6. Airport Reference Code (ARC) • Aircraft approach speed + wingspan for most demanding (critical) aircraft (500 takeoffs and landings/year) • Determines size of the runway safety area, separation distances between runways and taxiways, runway and taxiway widths, and more

  7. Two Most Demanding Aircraft

  8. Runway Length Analysis • List critical design airplane • Identify airplanes requiring longest runway lengths • Determine method to establish runway length (family grouping of large airplanes) • Select runway lengths based on performance curves • Apply adjustments Gulfstream G100 Learjet 35 Cessna Citation Dassault Falcon 50

  9. Runway Length Analysis (cont.) • Recommended runway length = 6,000’ • Supported by 2006 Master Plan • Satisfies operational requirements of > 75% of fleet @ 60% useful load

  10. Airport Constraints South Side Railroad Tracks Kitty Hawk Ave. Upland Sandpiper Moose Brook Tributary

  11. Prelim. ABA survey

  12. Airport Constraints North Side Railroad Tracks Little Androscoggin Lewiston Jct Rd Upland Sandpiper

  13. Use of Exceptions • Runway Safety Area (RSA) • Reduce RSA width from 500’ to 400’ • Declared Distances • Airport constraints make it impractical to apply standard RSA lengths and widths(1000 ft & 500 ft) • Analyze each runway end independently to satisfy airplane takeoff and landing requirements • Apply Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) to shorten RSA length
