This chapter presents the airport classification system, developed to determine the facility and
service standards used to evaluate the adequacy of Oregons system of airports. Every airport
within the Oregon Aviation Plan 2007 (OAP 2007) plays an important role in the functionality and
capacity of the Oregon system of airports.
The first step in developing the OAP 2007 airport classification system was to evaluate the
existing airport classification system outlined during the 2000 Oregon Aviation Plan (2000 OAP).
The 2000 OAP established five categories of airports, based on the definitions outlined within the
National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS), the design criteria outlined by the Airport
Reference Code (ARC), and a facilities inventory. The five previous categories included:
Category l - Commercial Service
Design Criteria: 30,000 or more annual operations, of which a minimum of 500 are
business related aircraft; business use heliports
Function: accommodate a wide range of general aviation users for large service
areas in outlying areas of Oregon. Many also accommodate seasonal regional fire
response activities
Design Criteria: 2,500 or more annual operations or more than ten based aircraft
Design Criteria: less than 2,500 annual operations and 10 or fewer aircraft

While the existing classification system helped to distinguish the function of one airport from
another, the limited design criteria did not provide a flexible approach as some airports may
exceed some design criteria while other facilities are severely limited. Additionally, the 2000 OAP
airport classification system provides limited guidance regarding what facilities each airport
should offer to the flying public. Therefore, the OAP 2007 revised the classification system to
provide a more accurate representation of each airport within the system.
4.1 Functional Airport Roles - Oregon Aviation Plan 2007 (OAP 2007)
Each airport in Oregon impacts the overall operational capacity and efficiency of the state aviation
system by supporting different types of aviation activity. The development of a new classification
system of functional airport roles clearly demonstrates the types of facilities and services that
should be provided at each airport category. The Project Team utilized the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) airport design system known as the Airport Reference Code (ARC) and
created performance measures to develop the airport functional roles.
4.1.a Performance Measures
The second step in generating new functional roles for the state system of airports was to
develop performance criteria that clearly illustrate the facility requirements for each airport
category. Performance criteria can be defined as a series of objectives an airport should satisfy
to qualify for a particular functional role. The objectives were developed in cooperation with
Oregon Department of Aviation (ODA) and the State Aviation System Plan and Master Plan
Advisory Committees.
The purpose of performance measures is to compare existing airport facilities to the minimum
and desired facility levels for each functional role. The performance measures should not be
considered a requirement for development standards. Any development would require additional
support and justification through the airport master planning process, as well as environmental
documentation. Local circumstances and needs may necessitate development that exceeds the
minimum objectives based upon criteria that surpass the performance measures. Determination
of these changes would be the responsibility of ODA, local sponsors, and in some cases the FAA.
Many airports have multiple runways; therefore, the primary runway for each airport was used to
evaluate the facility against the performance measures. The performance measures for each
functional role are defined as follows:
User Accessibility Criteria - Used to qualify the airport facility, driving distance to a
commercial facility, and the proximity to another airport facility

Economic Support Criteria - Used to qualify how the airport supports economic growth
and development on and around the airport facility

criteria, the performance and size of the most demanding aircraft or groups of aircraft expected to
use the airport must be considered. This aircraft, called the critical aircraft, must use the airport
on a regular basis and have at least a combined total of 500 take-offs and landings.
The ARC has two components related to the critical aircraft of an airport. The first component is
the aircraft approach category, which relates to the aircraft approach speed. An aircrafts
approach category is based on 1.3 times its stall speed in landing configuration at the aircrafts
maximum certified landing weight. The second component relates to the aircraft wingspan, and is
known as the design group. Table 4.1 below illustrates the approach category and design group
as outlined by the FAA.

The performance criteria for each category were evaluated by analyzing the primary
runway at each airport. An airports inability to meet the minimum facility standards for its
category does not preclude that airport from performing the identified role or function with the
system of airports.
