Airport Master Plan - Draft Final
4-16 / Chapter 4 - Development Alternatives
would not include providing the full
OFA. If the full OFA is also required by
the FAA, the ASDA and LDA for Runway
31 would need to be reduced by
another 150 feet.
The costs associated with this
alternative have been estimated at
$5.14 million. This alternative would
also require the relocation of the
glideslope and localizer antennas at an
estimated $1.5 million and installation
of a MALS at $1.0 million. Thus, the total
costs for implementing this alternative
are estimated at $7.64 million.
RSA Combination Method
Alternative 2
Alternative 2 considers all
improvements mentioned before and
also includes the implementation of
EMAS at the south end of the runway.
Adding EMAS to the south end of the
runway has no impact on any declared
distances for Runway 31 as it is aimed
specifcally at improving operational
length calculations for Runway 13
only. As discussed, Runway 13 is
utilized more frequently than Runway
31 as predominant winds are from
the south. Moreover, southerly winds
generally fow during very hot days.
As a result, Runway 13 will generally
be in use when turbine aircraft runway
length needs are greater as jet aircraft
require longer take-of rolls at higher
temperatures.
Adding EMAS to the south end of the
runway as depicted on Exhibit 4N
would not change the TORA or TODA
from that provided in Combination
Method Alternative 1; however, it
would increase the ASDA and LDA
calculations. EMAS installation as
proposed would allow the south end
of the runway to provide the full 1,000-
foot equivalent RSA. As a result, the
Runway 13 ASDA would be the full
pavement length, or 7,136 feet. The
LDA would be 6,051 feet to account
for the proposed 400-foot landing
threshold displacement (from current
runway end).
The costs for RSA Combination
Method Alternative 2 would include
all of the $7.64 million associated with
Alternative 1. It would also include
another estimated $5.215 million for
EMAS installation. Thus, total estimated
costs for implementing Alternative 2
would be $12.86 million.
RSA Combination Method Summary
The primary benefts of the combined
method alternatives would be the
ability to provide greater declared
distances than could be provided by
simply using declared distances to
meet RPZ requirements as presented
on Exhibit 4C. The combination
alternatives provide less declared
distances than those proposed in
RSA Declared Distance Options 2, 2b,
and 3 presented earlier; however, the
combination method would account
for the RPZs allowing for FAA standards
to be met. Thus, the combination
method would satisfy both RSA and
RPZ design standards while maximizing
operational lengths.
There are two primary drawbacks
associated with the two combination
methods. First, the costs would be
relatively high to include a 685-foot
extension for both alternatives and
EMAS in Alternative 2. Second, the
extended runway pavement would
not have full utility. For example, the
runway extension would not be usable
for landings on Runway 13. While these
drawbacks are considered, they do
not outweigh the benefts achieved
as the reduced operational lengths
required for meeting both RSA and
RPZ without these improvements
would be signifcant. Reducing the
declared distances (or simply reducing
the runway length) to below 6,000
feet would signifcantly reduce the
utility of the runway for business jets.
As a result, operations would be lost
by both itinerant and based aircraft.
In fact, some based aircraft operators
(i.e., the Gulfstream II and IV) could
elect to base their aircraft elsewhere.
Obviously, this could pose signifcant
fnancial impacts on the airports FBOs
which have invested millions of dollars
in facilities aimed at accommodating
these aircraft.
The combination method alternatives
are the only alternatives presented
in this study which meet both RSA
and RPZ design standards while also
maximizing operational lengths.
While the costs are relatively high,
the combination method alternatives
are feasible and prudent if the FAA
requires that the full RSA and RPZ
standards be met.
RSA DETERMINATION SUMMARY
Each of the six RSA mitigation
alternatives, as prescribed by the FAA,
has been analyzed in their application
to Dallas Executive Airport and is
presented in Table 4A. Three of the six
alternatives were considered feasible
and/or prudent. Exhibit 4P presents
a comparable table for each of the
alternatives considered prudent and/
or practicable for quick reference.
The preparer of this study cannot
choose a single solution as the fnal
plan will frst require that the FAA
indicate to what extent RSA, OFA,
and/or RPZ standards should be
met. Once the FAA provides that
direction, the best solution can be

City of Dallas Dal l as Ex ec ut i ve Ai r por t
4-17 Chapter 4 - Development Alternatives /
selected. If the FAA does not require
that the RPZs be mitigated from
incompatible uses, for example, one of
the RSA Alternative D options and/or
Alternative E could be the best choice.
If the full RSA and RPZ are required, the
combination alternatives presented in
RSA Alternative F would be the best
solution. This study will be presented
to airport staf, Texas Department of
Transportation - Aviation Division
(TxDOT), FAA, and airport users. It
is intended that these meetings will
provide proper guidance to make an
appropriate choice. The recommended
solution will be outlined in the next
chapter of this study.
OTHER AIRFIELD ALTERNATIVES
Now that the airfeld standards and
RSA determination is complete,
analysis for issues relating to other
airfeld developments will be analyzed.
Analysis in the previous chapter
indicated that Runway 17-35 should be
extended to better serve up to small
corporate aircraft for periods when
the primary runway is closed. Taxiway
improvements will also be addressed.
RUNWAY 17-35
Runway 17-35 is currently 3,800 feet
long by 150 feet wide. As mentioned
earlier, this runway is better suited to
predominant winds, especially for small
aircraft. It would be ideal for the runway
to provide longer runway length to meet
the needs of corporate aircraft including
small business jets. Moreover, if the
runway were extended, it would allow
the airport to remain open to serve up
to small business jet aircraft when the
primary runway is closed. Current plans
include a rehabilitation of Runway 13-31.
Depending on the type of rehabilitation,
Runway 13-31 could need to be closed
for anywhere from one month up to
nine months. It was determined in the
RSA determination section earlier that
upgrading Runway 17-35 to ARC C/D-
II standards would be cost-prohibitive.
Extending the runway so as to provide
longer operational length under ARC B-II
design, however, can be achieved.
Exhibit 4Q presents two alternatives
for extending Runway 17-35. The
alternatives consider meeting the full
RSA and OFA standards on existing
property while also providing the full
RPZ for the north end of the runway on
property. The southern RPZ can extend
into the open area south of the airport
as long as the property is acquired in
fee or through easements.
Table 4A: RUNWAY SAFETY AREA ANALYSIS SUMMARY
Option #
RSA
Alternative
Prudent
and/or
Feasible Comments
A Provide full RSA No RSA beyond Runway 31 end cannot be
extended due to the location of U.S. Highway
67 and its outer roads.
B Relocate, shift,
or realign
runway
No Relocation not possible in close proximity
due to urbanized area;
Runway shift not advisable due to RPZ shift
over additional commercial and residential
properties;
Realigning runway not feasible; Upgrading
Runway 17-35 to replace Runway 13-31
would not be feasible as it could not provide
more length and would be cost-prohibitive.
C Reduce runway
length
No Would have signifcant operational impact
on current airport users and FBOs; would
negatively impact sizable investments made
by sponsor, TxDOT, and FBOs.
D Declared
distances
Yes Five Options presented with Options 2a, 2b,
and 3 considered prudent and/or feasible;
however, these options would not mitigate
for incompatible land uses in the RPZs.
E EMAS Yes Cost estimated at $6.22 million; would not
mitigate incompatible uses in the RPZs.
F Combination Yes Two combination method alternatives
presented having relatively high costs; Only
alternative which would allow the airport
to comply with both RSA and RPZ design
standards; Should only be considered
prudent and/or feasible if the FAA requires
the full RSA and RPZ to meet standards.

LEGEND
Alternative 1, presented on the left side
of Exhibit 4Q, proposes extensions to
both ends of the runway. The runway
could be extended 303 feet to the south
while maintaining the full ARC B-II RSA
which extends 300 feet beyond the
runway. The RSA would be placed at
the airport perimeter fence just north
of the perimeter road. The alternative
also considers a 409-foot northerly
extension. This extension was selected
to minimize costs associated with
having to fll and embank areas farther
north. The resultant runway length
provided by Alternative 1 would be
4,512 feet. Costs associated with this
alternative have been estimated at
$4.914 million without consideration of
property costs for the south RPZ.
Alternative 2 is essentially the same as
Alternative 1, however, the proposed
northerly extension of Runway 17-
35 is 511 feet. This is the maximum
extension possible which would allow
the RPZ to remain on current airport
property. As proposed, this alternative
would provide 4,614 feet of runway
length. The costs of implementing
Alternative 2 have been estimated at
$5.95 million.
The two extension alternatives for
Runway 17-35 would improve the
runways ability to serve small business
jets during most days. On hot days,
however, the proposed length could
be too short to meet turbine aircraft
needs. After meeting with the airport
staf, TxDOT, and the PAC, an alternative
will be selected and carried forward
into the next chapter.
TAXIWAYS
The taxiway system at Dallas Executive
Airport includes partial parallel
taxiways, entrance/exit taxiways, and
connector taxiways. The primary
consideration in this analysis is to
ensure that the taxiway system meets
FAA design standards.
Analysis in the previous chapter
indicated that future planning should
consider the opportunity for the critical
aircraft to transition to ARC C/D-III.
Moreover, planning should also factor
the implementation of a Category I
(CAT I) precision instrument approach
procedure with visibility minimums of
-mile and cloud ceilings as low as 200
feet on Runway 31. In order to meet
FAA standards for ARC C/D-III and/
or a CAT I instrument approach, the
parallel taxiway serving the runway
designed for such would need to be
separated from the runway by at least
400 feet (centerline to centerline).
Partial parallel Taxiway B serving the
northwestern portion of Runway 13-31
does not currently meet this standard.
Taxiway B is currently located 300
feet east of the runway (centerline to
centerline).
Exhibit 4R illustrates the alternative of
shifting Taxiway B to a location 400 feet
east of the runway centerline. It would
also include a new connector stub
taxiway linking the east apron with
Taxiway B through Runway 17-35. It is
believed that the shifted taxiway will
also need to serve an extended runway
as presented in the Runway Safety
Area Determination section earlier.
Therefore, Taxiway B would need to be
shifted 100 feet to the east and then
extended either 535 feet or 685 feet
northwest of its current end location as
depicted on the exhibit.
Shifting the taxiway 100 feet east,
and then extending it 535 feet to
the proposed extended runway is
estimated to cost $16.654 million.
For the proposed 685-foot extension
and 100-foot easterly shift, costs are
estimated at $16.96 million. The
relatively high costs for relocating and
extending Taxiway B are, in large part,
due to the signifcant elevation changes
north of existing Taxiway B. Thus, if the
runway is extended as proposed in
either alternative, the costs associated
with shifting the taxiway to be 400
feet east of the runway would likely
be considered too high. As a result,
Runway 13-31 may not be capable of
meeting ARC C/D-III runway-to-taxiway
separation standards and thereby not
qualify for CAT I instrument approach
minimums.
LANDSIDE PLANNING
ALTERNATIVES
The purpose of this section is to
identify and evaluate viable landside
alternatives at Dallas Executive Airport
to meet program requirements set
forth in the previous chapter. While the

taxiways, etc.), landside facilities are
designed to accommodate the transfer
of passengers between the air and
ground. The primary aviation functions
to be accomplished via landside at
Dallas Executive Airport include aircraft
storage hangars, aircraft parking
aprons, general aviation terminal
facilities, and automobile parking and
access. The interrelationship of these
functions is important to defning a
long-range landside layout for general
aviation uses at the airport. Due to
an abundance of land available at
the airport, careful consideration
will also be given to areas that could
be considered for non-aviation uses
that can provide additional revenue
support to the airport and support
economic development for the region.
The orderly development of the airport
terminal area, those areas along the
fight line parallel to the runway, can
be the most critical, and oftentimes
the most dif cult to control on the
airport. A development approach
of taking the path of least resistance
can have a signifcant impact on
the long-term viability of an airport.
Allowing development without regard
to a functional plan could result in a
haphazard array of buildings and small
apron areas, which will eventually
preclude the most ef cient use of
valuable space along the fight line.
Landside alternative considerations
were summarized previously on
Exhibit 4A. The following briefy
describes proposed landside facility
improvements.
AVIATION ACTIVITY LEVELS
Landside development areas should
be divided into high, medium, and low
intensity activity levels at the airport. The
high-activity area should be planned
and developed to provide aviation
services on the airport. An example
of the high-activity areas is the airport
terminal building and adjoining aircraft
parking apron, which provides tiedown
locations and circulation for aircraft. In
addition, large conventional hangars
used for fxed base operators (FBOs),
aircraft maintenance, corporate aviation
departments, or bulk aircraft storage
would be considered a high-activity use
area. The best location for high-activity
areas is along the fight line, for ease of
access to all areas on the airfeld. Major
utility infrastructure would need to be
provided to these areas.
The medium-activity use category
defnes the next level of airport
use and primarily includes smaller
corporate aircraft that may desire their
own executive hangar storage on the
airport. The best location for medium-
activity use is off the immediate
flight line, but still readily accessible
to aircraft including corporate jets.
Due to an airports layout and other
existing conditions, if this area is to
be located along the flight line, it is
best to keep it out of the midfield
area of the airport, so as to not cause
congestion with transient aircraft
utilizing the airport. Parking and
utilities such as water and sewer
should also be provided in this area.
The low-activity use category defnes
the area for storage of smaller single
and multi-engine aircraft. Low-activity
users are personal or small business
aircraft owners who prefer individual
space in T-hangars and linear box
hangars. Low-activity areas should be
located in less conspicuous areas. This
use category will require electricity, but
generally does not require water or
sewer utilities.
Ideally, terminal area facilities at
airports should follow a linear
confguration parallel to the
primary runway system. The linear
confguration allows for maximizing
available space while providing ease
of access to terminal facilities from
the airfeld. Landside alternatives will
address development in specifc areas
on the airport. Separation of activity
levels and ef ciency of layout will be
discussed as well.
In addition to the functional
compatibility of the aviation
development areas, the proposed
development concept should provide
a frst-class appearance for Dallas
Executive Airport. As previously
mentioned, the airport serves as a very
important link to the entire region
whether it is for business or pleasure.
Consideration to aesthetics should be
given high priority in all public areas,
as the airport can serve as the frst
impression a visitor may have of the
community.
Dallas Executive Airport is located on
approximately 1,070 acres. In order
to allow for maximum development
of the airport while keeping with FAA
mandated safety design standards, it
is very important to devise a plan that
allows for the orderly development of
airport facilities. Typically, airports will
reserve property adjacent to the run-
way system for aviation-related activity
exclusively. This will allow for the loca-
tion of taxiways, aprons, and hangars.
In those circumstances where ultimate
demand levels fall short of ultimate
build-out need, some airports will
encourage non-aviation commercial
or industrial development. The
potential of non-aviation development
on airport property can provide an
additional revenue source in the
form of long-term land leases for the
airport. As evidenced in Chapter Two,
aviation-related growth is forecast
to increase throughout the planning
period of this Master Plan, thus, a large
portion of airport property should be
dedicated for airfeld operations and
aviation use; however, planning will
consider designating certain portions
of airport property for non-aviation
development as well.

AIRCRAFT HANGAR DEVELOPMENT

Landside alternatives to follow will
consider the construction of additional
aircraft hangars at Dallas Executive
Airport. Hangar development takes on
a variety of sizes corresponding with
several diferent uses.
Commercial general aviation activities
are essential to providing the necessary
services needed on an airport,
especially at a reliever airport located
in a large metropolitan area such as
the case for Dallas Executive Airport.
This includes businesses involved
with, but not limited to, aircraft rental
and fight training, aircraft charters,
aircraft maintenance, line service,
and aircraft fueling. These types of
operations are commonly referred to
as FBOs. The facilities associated with
businesses such as these include large
conventional type hangars that hold
several aircraft. High levels of activity
often characterize these operations,
with a need for apron space for the
storage and circulation of aircraft.
These facilities are best placed along
ample apron frontage with good
visibility from the runway system for
transient aircraft. Utility services are
needed for these types of facilities, as
well as automobile parking areas.
The mix of aircraft using Dallas Executive
Airport is expected to continue to
include business class aircraft which
have larger wingspans. These larger
aircraft require greater separation
distances between facilities, larger
apron areas for parking and circulation,
and larger hangar facilities.
Aircraft hangars used for the storage
of smaller aircraft primarily involve
T-hangars or linear box hangars. Since
storage hangars often have lower
levels of activity, these types of facilities
can be located away from the primary
apron areas, in more remote locations
of the airport. Limited utility services
are needed for these areas.
Other types of hangar development
can include executive hangars for
accommodating several aircraft
simultaneously. Typically, these types
of hangars are used by corporations
with company-owned aircraft or by
an individual or group of individuals
with multiple aircraft. These hangar
areas typically require all utilities and
segregated roadway access. Currently,
there is over 500,000 square feet of
hangar, of ce, and maintenance area
provided at Dallas Executive Airport
made up of a combination of the
hangar types previously discussed.
REVENUE SUPPORT LAND USES
Due to the large amount of land
on airport property exceeding the
space needed for forecast aviation
demand, consideration has been
given for the City of Dallas Aviation
Department to utilize portions of the
airport for non-aeronautical purposes
such as commercial, industrial, or
manufacturing development. It should
be noted that the City does not have
the approval to use airport property
for non-aeronautical purposes at this
time. Non-aviation use of airport
property requires specifc approval
from the FAA. The Master Plan process
is not the method of obtaining such
an approval for non-aeronautical uses,
even if these uses are ultimately shown
in the Master Plan and on the Airport
Layout Plan (ALP). A separate request
justifying the use of airport property for
non-aeronautical uses will be required
once the Master Plan is complete.
The Master Plan can be a source for
developing that justifcation.
Federal Law obligates an airport sponsor
to use all property shown on an ALP
and/or Property Map for public airport
purposes. A distinction is generally
not made between property acquired
locally and property acquired with
federal assistance. However, property
acquired with federal assistance or
transferred surplus property from the
federal government may have specifc
covenants or restrictions on its use
diferent from property acquired locally.
These obligations will require
that the City work with TxDOT to
formally request a release from the
terms, conditions, reservations,
and restrictions contained in any
conveyance deeds and assurances in
previous grant agreements. A release
is required even if the airport desires
to continue to own the land and only
lease the land for development. The
obligations relate to the use of the
land just as much as they do to the
ownership of the land.
U.S. Code 47153 authorizes the FAA
to release airport land when it is
convincingly clear that:
a. Airport property no longer
serves the purpose for which it
was conveyed. In other words,
the airport does not need
the land now or in the future
because it has no aviation-
related or aeronautical use,
nor does it serve as approach
protection, a compatible land
use, or a noise bufer zone.
b. The release will not prevent
the airport from carrying out
the purpose for which the land
was conveyed. In other words,
the airport will not experience
any negative impacts from
relinquishing the land.
c. The release is actually
necessary to advance the
civil aviation interests of the
counters. In other words, there
is a measurable and tangible
beneft for the airport or the
airport system.
Ultimately, the ability of the City to use
airport property for non-aeronautical
revenue production will rest upon
a determination by the FAA that
portions of airport property are no
longer needed for airport-related or
aeronautical uses. To prove that land is
not needed for aeronautical purposes,
an assessment and determination
of the area that will be required for
aeronautical purposes will be needed.
The Master Plan provides this analysis.
A formal request to the FAA for a release
from federal obligations will have
several distinct elements. The major
elements of the request will include:
1. A description of the obligating
conveyance instrument or
grant.
2. A complete property
description including a legal
description of the land to be
released.
3. A description of the property
condition.
4. A description of federal
obligations.
5. The kind of release requested.
(lease or sale)
6. Purpose of the release.
7. Justifcation for the release.
8. Disposition and market value of
the released land.
9. Reinvestment agreement.
A commitment by the
County to reinvest any lease
revenues exclusively for the
improvement, operation, and
maintenance of the airport.
10. Draft instrument of release.
An environmental determination
will also be required. While FAA
Order 1050.1E, Environmental Policies
and Procedures, states that a release
of an airport sponsor from federal
obligations is normally categorically
excluded and would not normally
require an Environmental Assessment
(EA), the issuance of a categorical
exclusion is not automatic and the FAA
must determine that no extraordinary
circumstances exist at the airport.
Extraordinary circumstances would
include a signifcant environmental
impact to any of the environmental
resources governed by Federal Law.
An EA may be required if there are
extraordinary circumstances.
BUILDING RESTRICTION LINE AND
RUNWAY VISIBILITY ZONE
The building restriction line (BRL)
identifes suitable building areas on the
airport. The BRL encompasses runway
safety areas, obstruction clearances,
RPZs, navigational aid critical areas,
areas required for terminal instrument
procedures, and other areas necessary
for meeting airport line-of-sight
requirements.
Two primary factors contribute to
the determination of the BRL: type of
runway (utility or other-than-utility)
and the capability of the instrument
approaches. At Dallas Executive
Airport, Runways 13-31 and 17-35 are
considered other-than-utility runways
given that they support business jet
operations and are aforded straight-
in instrument approach procedures.
Runway 13-31 provides for precision
instrument approach minimums while
non-precision instrument approach
minimums apply to Runway 17-35.
The BRL is a product of Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Part 77 transitional surface clearance
requirements. These requirements
stipulate that no object be located in
the primary surface, defned as being
no closer than 250 feet from a non-
precision instrument runway having
visibility minimums greater than
-mile and no closer than 500 feet
to a runway served by a precision or
non-precision instrument approach
with visibility minimums as low as
-mile. From the primary surface, the
transitional surface extends outward
at a slope of one vertical foot to every
seven horizontal feet. Traditionally,
the BRL is set at a point where the
transitional surface is 35 feet above
the runway elevation. For Runway
17-35, this distance is 495 feet from
the runway centerline. For Runway
13-31, this dimension is 745 feet from
the runway centerline. It should be
noted that structures can be located
between the BRL and the primary
surface as long as the highest point
of the structure is not a penetration
to the 7:1 transitional surface. Careful
consideration should be given to
potential landside development as
it relates to the BRL, especially on the
west side of the airport.
Airfeld development should also
be planned so it does not penetrate
the runway visibility zone (RVZ). It
is recommended that a clear RVZ
be maintained where two runways
intersect. The RVZ outlines the area
needed to be clear of obstructions so
that aircraft on both runways can see
other aircraft before it is too late to avert
an accident. The distance between the
runways intersection and each runway
end determines the location of each
runways visibility point.
LANDSIDE DEVELOPMENT
ALTERNATIVES
There are two large areas which are
given specifc attention for planned
development at Dallas Executive
Airport. The frst is the area on the
east side of the airport. Currently, the
majority of landside development is
located on the airports east side, and
property remains available for future
development. Several parcels of land
are available that could accommodate
both aviation and non-aviation related
development. Due to the existing
infrastructure (roadways, utilities, etc.) in
place to support future development,
the east side of the airport could
accommodate a signifcant amount
of future growth needs. For these
reasons, future development in this
area is planned and will be discussed in
the next section.
A second area that currently supports
limited development is on the west
side of the airport. Over 250 acres of
land is highlighted in the form of mixed
aviation and non-aviation uses. Recent
infrastructure improvements have
positioned land on the airports west
side to be attractive for development.
As a result, alternatives for potential
development in this area will also
be discussed. Exhibit 4S provides
a generalized land use plan for the
future development of Dallas Executive
Airport.
The alternatives to be presented are not
the only options for development. In
some cases, a portion of one alternative
could be intermixed with another.
Also, some development concepts
could be replaced with others. The
fnal recommended plan only serves
as a guide for the airport which will
aid the City in strategic marketing of
available airport properties. Many
times, airport operators change their
plan to meet the need of specifc
users. The goal in analyzing landside
development alternatives is to focus
future development so that airport
property can be maximized.
EAST LANDSIDE CONSIDERATIONS
As previously discussed, the majority
of existing development is located on
the east side of the airport and consists
of a general aviation terminal building,
aircraft storage hangars, aircraft parking
aprons, and support facilities to include
fuel storage, automobile parking, and
aircraft rescue and frefghting (ARFF).
Exhibit 4T highlights other areas on
the east side that could be utilized
for aviation-related development.
In addition, certain parcels are
designated for potential non-aviation
development.
