Facility Requirements - Key Recommendations
Meeting Safety and Demand Requirements1. Runway Safety Area (RSA) required on each runway end: 150’ x 300’
• Runway 7 – short by 175’
• Runway 25 – short by 170’
2. Adequate runway length for existing/future based aircraft within the
planning period: 4,400’ (966’ extension); capability for ultimate 5,000’
beyond planning period to accommodate increased jet activity
3. Terminal area development to accommodate based aircraft growth
1. Meeting RSA Standards
Runway 7Expand RSA 175’ to support

Meeting RSA standards would be a short-term project to maintain existing usable runway length
2. Runway to 4,400’ (966’ Extension)
Runway Alternative Goals
• Meet demand
• Minimize marsh/Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) impacts
• Minimize land acquisition
• Minimize residential and business impacts
• Minimize cemetery impacts
• Minimize Highway 21 impacts
• Preserve future LPV (Localizer Performance GPS approach with Vertical guidance)
• Prevent impacts to Beaufort MCAS
Runway Extension Alternatives Evaluated1. Toward Highway 21
2. Into the Marsh
3. Reorient the Runway

2. Runway to 4,400’ (966’ Extension)
Chosen Alternative: Extend into the Marsh• Meets demand• Has impacts to marsh/Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM)• No land acquisition • No residential and business impacts• No cemetery impacts• No Highway 21 impacts• Preserves future LPV• Prevents impacts to Beaufort MCAS
Deemed least impactful6-10 year timeframe
Critical Issue
Comparable Case Study
Dare County Airport, North Carolina• Approved Airport Layout Plan showing 600’ runway and 900’
taxiway extension into Croatan Sound (dated June 2006)
• In the 11-20 year phase of development
• Estimated construction costs: $5 million
3. Terminal Area Development
Phased Development to Accommodate Growth in Based Aircraft
• Full length parallel taxiway
• T-hangar and conventional hangars
• Aircraft apron expansion
• Improved access and parking
• Expanded terminal building
• Relocated fuel facility
• Helipad
