<strong>Potsdam</strong> Municipal Airport - Master Plan – Phase 1 Report<br />
At the national level, <strong>Potsdam</strong> Municipal Airport is included in the National Plan of<br />
Integrated Airport Systems 2009-2013 (NPIAS). This planning document includes<br />
3,356 existing airports that are significant to national air transportation and estimates<br />
that $49.7 billion in infrastructure development that is eligible for Federal aid will be<br />
needed over the next five years to meet the needs of all segments of civil aviation.<br />
General Aviation airports account for 19 percent of the total development. The FAA<br />
management in administering the Airport Improvement Program <strong>us</strong>es the NPIAS. It<br />
supports the FAA’s strategic goals for safety, system efficiency, and environmental<br />
compatibility by identifying the specific airport improvements that will contribute to<br />
achievement of those goals. The NPIAS anticipates <strong>Potsdam</strong> Municipal Airport<br />
project development costs that will be eligible for funding in excess of $2.6 million<br />
over the next five years.<br />
There are four public-<strong>us</strong>e airports and one private airfield within a 25-nautical mile<br />
(NM) radi<strong>us</strong> of <strong>Potsdam</strong> Municipal Airport, as shown on Figure 2-1. One of the<br />
public-<strong>us</strong>e airports is located in Canada. Descriptions of the three public-<strong>us</strong>e U.S.<br />
