The Pennsylvania Airport SystemAt the time of this study in 2010, Pennsylvania’s system of public air-ports was comprised of 15 commer-cial service and 116 general aviation airports. The Pennsylvania Depart-ment of Transportation (PennDOT) Bureau of Aviation manages pro-grams that support the operation and development of these airports
through grant funding, inspections, technical guidance, planning stud-ies, education efforts, and commu-nication with local, state, and federal officials. The Bureau of Aviation also works closely with various aviation associations, including the Aviation Council of Pennsylvania.

Study MethodologyThe methodology used to measure the economic impact of Pennsylva-nia’s airports follows guidelines set forth by the Federal Aviation Ad-ministration (FAA). Economic im-pacts for all airports were classified into three impact categories: direct, multiplier (indirect/induced), and total.
Direct impacts include both direct impacts related to on-airport busi-nesses and government agencies and impacts which generally take place off-airport and are usually at-tributable to visitor spending.
Multiplier impacts are comprised of indirect and induced impacts. These impacts are attributed to em-ployees spending their earnings at
local businesses and the on-airport businesses purchasing goods and services locally. This re-circulation is commonly referred to as the “multi-plier effect.”
Total annual economic impacts are the sum of direct and multi-plier impacts. For this study, each airport’s annual economic impacts were summed to reflect the total economic impact that Pennsylva-nia’s economy receives from com-mercial service and general aviation airports.
The majority of the economic ben-efits measured in this study are ex-pressed in terms of jobs, payroll, and annual economic activity or output.

The purpose of airport planning is to make an airport safer and more e�cient.
Airport planning goals:
• Determining airport purpose and role and documenting demand.• Inventorying assets and providing graphic presentation of development/land use.• Establishing a realistic schedule for proposed development implementation.• Proposing an “achievable” financial plan to support proposed development.• Justifying the plan technically and procedurally to present to the public.
The Big PicturePlans are developed at the federal, state, regional, and local levels. Airport plans at all levels are integrated so that improvement projects at each airport help achieve cohesive progress toward larger goals. The intent is to maximize the benefits of available funding.
Airport Master Plan & Airport Layout Plan
Regional Airport System Plan (RASP)
Statewide Airport System Plan (SASP)
National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS)
• Includes public airports of national interest with at least 10 based aircraft serving a community more than 30 minutes from another NPIAS airport.
• Determines the nature of airport development needs of state to establish a viable, balanced, and integrated system of airports.
• Representation of aviation facilities requirements to meet immediate and future needs of metropolitan area.
• Outlines a program of improvement projects prioritized over the next 20 years.

PlanningStatewide Airport System PlanAnalyzes how Pennsylvania airports measure up against key criteria and helps prioritize improvements from a system-wide view
The Statewide Airport System Plan (SASP) is a comprehensive study that provides BOA with the tools to make decisions about the performance, enhancement, and promotion of Pennsylvania’s air transportation system. The role of each airport within the system is defined, and standards are established for airports of various types and categories. Projects that help airports get up to par are given a higher priority for funding.
The SASP establishes standards and criteria for airports by category and analyzes how Pennsylvania’s airports measure up.

Airport Master Plan
Airports work with BOA to develop Twelve-
Year Plans based on needs identified
in their Capital Improvement Plans.
An airport’s Twelve-Year Plan is a prioritized list of its projects and funding needs over the next 12 years.
An airport’s Four-Year Plan is the first four years of the Twelve-Year Plan—the top priority projects that are ready to move forward. These projects compete for funding and inclusion in the statewide Four-Year Plan. They are ranked by BOA using BOA criteria and FAA National Priority Rating Criteria.

Airport Hazard Zoning: Models Based on FAR Part 77
According to PA Act 164, municipalities within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Federal Regulation 14 CFR Part 77 (i e "Part 77”) areasAdministration (FAA) Federal Regulation 14 CFR Part 77 (i.e., Part 77 ) areas around an airport are required to have ordinances that restrict the height of objects that could interfere with airport operations.
These height restrictions gradually change from 0 feet directly at the airport up to about 1920 feet above the airport runway surface, depending upon the distance from the airport and type of runways in use.
The height restrictions are broken into 5 Surface Zones, which are defined by FAA and are a function of the airport’s physical and runway featuresFAA and are a function of the airport s physical and runway features.

Fact Sheet Proposed Selinsgrove VOR Decommissioning Proposal by FAA would decommission the Selinsgrove VOR: A VOR is a radio navigation aid that allows an airplane to precisely locate its position relative to the VOR location. It defines airways (interstates in the sky) and allows an airplane to fly an approach to an airport and be assured of terrain and obstacle clearance. An instrument approach, such as a VOR, is the only means of approaching an airport in poor weather conditions. Effects on Penn Valley Airport, Selinsgrove
• Eliminates VOR approach to the airport effectively shutting the airport down at night in instrument conditions
• Eliminates ability to take off to the south in instrument conditions • Lack of approach procedures discourages business, commercial, charter operations from
using the airport. Currently the airport contributes approx. $4M in economic impact to the region. From 2007 study 47 Chamber members frequently used the airport – more well known include Weis, National Beef, Ritz‐Craft, Keystone Building, Susquehanna University, Bucknell University
• Affects flight training operations such that students must now travel extended distances to accomplish FAA required training on VOR approaches.
Other local airports effected Bloomsburg: Both their instrument approaches would be invalid leaving no instrument capability. Lock Haven: Selinsgrove VOR is a feeder fix for their only instrument approach Mifflintown: Selinsgrove VOR is the initial approach fix for their only instrument approach Pottsville Schuylkill County: Decommissioning of the Selinsgrove VOR would eliminate their only instrument approach to RWY 4. Mifflin County: Selinsgrove VOR is a feeder fix for their only approach to RWY 24 Northumberland County: Decommissioning Selinsgrove VOR would eliminate all their instrument approaches, and ability to take off in instrument conditions Other considerations Selinsgrove VOR is also used for arrivals into Washington Dulles, a departure procedure for Scranton International, defines 4 Victor airways, describes two holding patterns, and delineates at least 16 intersections.
E 1
Proposed Solution for the VOR Decommissioning
Penn Valley Airport is requesting that the FAA assist them in developing and approving a new GPS approach to the airport. The proposed approach is from the southwest, and will allow planes to fly into the airport under foul weather conditions with or without the VOR in operation. Some technical features of the approach mean that this would actually increase the range of conditions in which properly equipped planes can fly into the airport.
The development of this approach will take at least a year, and will cost about $100,000 in FAA funding.
The airport is also requesting the FAA’s support in maintaining the VOR in operating condition until the new approach has final approval. The beacon has required repairs on an approximately annual basis, and the typical repair cost is about $43,000, so they are requesting that FAA bear the cost of one to two repairs while the new approach is being developed. This timeline will also allow the other regional airports to evaluate the impacts and work with FAA to develop solutions.
Request:
The Penn Valley Airport has requested a letter of support for the proposed solution from the SEDA‐COG Board along with the support of businesses, airport users, local officials and other stakeholders

TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES
AERONAUTICAL STUDY 13-AEA-I08-NR
PROPOSAL: To decommission the SELINSGROVE VORTAC (SEG) with RCO, inSelinsgrove, PA. The DME and RCO services of this VORTAC will be evaluated andretained, if necessary.
The SEG VORTAC with RCO needs extensive work to adhere to proper standards. Theazimuth portion of this facility has failed numerous times with excessive resources beingexpended in efforts to restore this facility. The request is to change the site to a DMERdecommissioning the azimuth portion only, however, the planned Minimum OperationalNetwork (MON) ofVORs does not include the SEG VORTAC and policy now requires thatdecommissioning must be evaluated for all VOR facilities prior to upgrading or performingmajor repairs. Therefore, the SEG VORTAC with RCO has been identified as a potentialcandidate for decommissioning by the Eastern Service Area - -
