tional 156,000 square feet of hangar space that is used specifically for its operational activities and, as
a result, was not factored into this analysis.
Future hangar requirements for the Airport are summarized in Table 3K. While some based aircraft
will continue to utilize aircraft parking apron space instead of hangar facilities, the overall percentage
of aircraft seeking hangar space is projected to increase during the long term planning period. Since
portions of the hangars are known to be used for aircraft maintenance servicing, requirements for
maintenance/ service hangar area was estimated using a planning standard of 150 square feet per
based aircraft.

tional hangars at the Airport. Furthermore, the advanced
age of a significant portion of the storage hangars at Arling-
ton Municipal Airport could further necessitate the need for additional hangar development through
the long term planning horizon. It is expected that the aircraft storage hangar requirements will con-
tinue to be met through a combination of hangar types.
It should be noted that hangar requirements are general in nature and based on the aviation demand
forecasts. The actual need for hangar space will further depend on the actual usage within hangars.
For example, some hangars may be utilized entirely for non-aircraft storage, such as maintenance, yet
from a planning standpoint, they have an aircraft storage capacity. Therefore, the needs of an individ-
ual user may differ from the calculated space necessary.
