1.7 Historical Based Aircraft and <strong>Airport</strong> Operations<br />
Generally speaking, the most accurate source <strong>of</strong> information is obtained from <strong>City</strong> records. Nevertheless,<br />
historical based aircraft data and aircraft operational data were collected from various sources. This<br />
information is important for developing the future aviation activity forecast and facility requirements that<br />
will be presented in future Working Papers. It is essential for understanding past activity, and how past<br />
activity compares to current and future activity. This historical data will be used, in part, to develop<br />
forecasts for future based aircraft and operations. The following sources <strong>of</strong> historical based aircraft and<br />
aircraft activity were referenced:<br />
<strong>City</strong> / airport records – November, 2007<br />
2001 Maine Aviation System <strong>Plan</strong> Update Phase III – 2001 MASP<br />
FAA <strong>Airport</strong> <strong>Master</strong> Record / Form 5010 – October, 2007<br />
FAA Terminal Area Forecast / TAF – December, 2006<br />
<strong>City</strong>-provided airport fuel sale logs were also used to supplement based aircraft and operational data<br />
obtained from conventional sources.<br />
Based Aircraft<br />
<strong>City</strong> records obtained thus far do not include a listing <strong>of</strong> historical based aircraft previous to 2007. <strong>City</strong><br />
records obtained for the year 2007 indicates a total <strong>of</strong> 29 based aircraft. The current <strong>Airport</strong> <strong>Master</strong><br />
Record / FAA 5010 Form indicates a total <strong>of</strong> 24 based aircraft. The FAA’s Terminal Area Forecast,<br />
issued in December 2006 indicates a total <strong>of</strong> 55 based aircraft. This information is summarized in Table<br />
1.6 and is, listed by aircraft type as shown on the FAA 5010 Form:<br />

There is a significant discrepancy between city-provided information and the FAA’s 5010 Form and TAF.<br />
The data obtained from <strong>City</strong> records is considered more reliable.<br />
Various sources were used for determining the total number <strong>of</strong> historical based aircraft. The 2001 MASP<br />
includes historical based aircraft by year from 1985 to 2001. Based aircraft data listed for 1985 to 1994<br />
was obtained from the 1995 MASP, aircraft data listed for 1994 to 2001 was obtained from the 2001<br />
MASP inventory effort. Besides the current listing <strong>of</strong> 2007 data obtained from the <strong>Airport</strong>, no other<br />
records were found for a listing <strong>of</strong> annual based aircraft for the years 2002 through 2006. The MeDOT<br />
MASP data for historical based aircraft is listed in Table 1.7 and compared with FAA TAF data:<br />
