What We’ve Heard… “Planning is a waste of money” “Planning is just a paper exercise with no value to me” “Why can’t we use our entitlement funds on pavement now?” [Unintelligible grumbles] And so on… Tom Schauer

Why Pay for Airport Planning? Position Your Airport to Effectively React Allows Your Airport to “Tell the Story” to Justify Needs Because Making Poor Decisions are Expensive! “What’s it worth not to build in the wrong spot?” Tom Schauer Not knowing where you are going can lead you to an undesirable destination

SDDOT Process

Airport Perspective Why am I wasting money on reports and not spending it on my runway? Justification .. Justification .. Justification

Airport Perspective This is your plan! It needs to reflect your specific community’s aviation needs. As community leaders, airport managers and tenants, you need to be involved with the planning process and do not just leave it up to your engineers. They are there to provide guidance and expertise. Seek changes and trends in your community that will be helpful in the planning process to show the growth. Periodically review your Airport Layout Plan (ALP) and Master Plan. Bring out your ALP in meetings to help explain the needs. The information on an ALP can sometime be intimidating, take the time to learn what the information is and help explain it to your community leaders.

Airport Perspective You want to be able to have an answer ready when someone comes to you and says, “I want to build a hangar, where can I put it?” A good plan can help you sell your project Make sure your plan is well thought out, meets the community needs and airport goals Projects need to be sold from the local all the way to the federal levels.

Airport Perspective Document your needs between plans Runways, taxiways and apron issues Repairs (and frequency) to equipment, lights, pavement, etc. Helps with future justification! Be realistic about your plan for the future.
