SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – PROPOSED RUNWAY 9 DISPLACED THRESHOLD alternatives to the proposed action, and a no action alternative (assessing the potential environmental effects of not undertaking the proposed action). The SDCRAA is preparing this EA on behalf of the FAA in compliance with FAA Orders 1050.1E and 5050.4B to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of relocating the Runway 9 displaced threshold, which is the “Proposed Action” evaluated in this EA. A displaced threshold is a threshold that is located on a point on the runway other than the designated beginning of the runway to satisfy approach surface criteria and/or Runway Safety Area length requirements. The proposed improvement would not affect (increase or decrease) the number of aircraft operating at SDIA or the routing of aircraft in the air to and from the Airport. The purpose of and need for the Proposed Action are described in this chapter, along with background information and a description of the Proposed Action. 1.2 Background The Airport is located in the northwest portion of the downtown area within the City of San Diego. The existing Airport site is severely constrained by its location; it is bounded by North Harbor Drive and San Diego Bay to the south, the Navy Boat Channel and Liberty Station (mixed-use redevelopment of the former Naval Training Center) to the west, U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego to the north, and Pacific Highway and Interstate 5 to the east. A general location and vicinity map of SDIA is depicted on Figure 1-1. The Airport has one runway, Runway 9-27, that is a total of 9,401 feet in length. Runways are named based on their compass orientation; a 9 designation means that aircraft landing on or taking off of the runway are traveling due east or 90 degrees while 27 represents due west or 270 degrees. The current displaced threshold of Runway 9 is 700 feet. Declared distances are in effect at SDIA to provide the required Runway Safety Area (RSA) beyond the runway end. The FAA defines declared distances as “the distances the airport operator declares available and suitable for satisfying an aircraft’s take-off run, take-off distance, accelerate-stop distance, and landing distance requirements.” 5 Declared distances are also used where different runway lengths are defined for each direction of operation (e.g., when displaced thresholds are present). Aircraft operators use these declared distances, along with weather data, aircraft performance characteristics, and market segments for flight planning, including the determination of payload and range restrictions. The application of declared distances at a specific airport requires prior FAA approval on a caseby-case basis. The Take-Off Run Available (TORA), Take-Off Distance Available (TODA), and Accelerate-Stop Distance Available (ASDA) are used for take-off performance computations. The Landing Distance Available (LDA) is used for landing performance computations. Figure 1-2, depicts the existing conditions on Runway 9-27, including the declared distances, TORA, TODA, ASDA, and LDA for Runway 9 and Runway 27. 5 U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A, Airport Design, September 28, 2012.
