cursions. Currently, the extension of Taxiway C on the east side of the runway offers a direct pave‐
ment connection between the aircraft parking/hangar area and Runway 16‐34. Under this scenario, it
is recommended that the taxiway connecting the parking area to Taxiway C be relocated so that a pilot
would be required to turn the aircraft prior to entering the runway system.
The Development Concept ultimately calls for two apron in‐fill areas in this general location that could
accommodate parking and provide more efficient taxiing operations along the flight line. Furthermore,
the construction of aircraft parking apron space is proposed on the west side of the runway as well. In
doing so, No Taxi Islands could be developed adjacent to Taxiway C and proposed Taxiway J, similar to
the one that has been implemented on the main aircraft parking apron adjacent to the intersection of
Taxiway D.
HOLD LINE MARKINGS
The hold line markings associated with Taxiways A (both ends of the runway), C, D, E, and F on the east
side of Runway 16‐34 are currently located 250 feet from the runway centerline, meeting RDC C‐II de‐
sign standards. In the event that Runway 16‐34 transitions to RDC C‐III, the standard for runway cen‐
terline to hold line separation is 250 feet plus one additional foot for each 100 feet above mean sea
level (MSL). Arlington Municipal Airport is situated at 628 feet MSL. As a result, the hold lines associ‐
ated with these entrance/exit taxiways would need to be relocated to 257 feet from the runway cen‐
terline. The hold lines associated with Taxiway B on the east side of Runway 16‐34 and all en‐
trance/exit taxiways on the west side of Runway 16‐34 already meet the C‐III standard.
PERIMETER ACCESS ROADS
In an effort to provide better access to the airfield system, the plan calls for extending portions of the
perimeter access road in areas on the north, south, and west sides of the Airport. When complete, the
road will allow airport personnel the opportunity to better monitor airfield operations and also de‐
crease the number of times that internal vehicle and maintenance operations will have to cross the
runway system while traversing from the east to west side of the Airport and vice versa.
LANDSIDE CONCEPT
Landside components include hangars, aircraft parking aprons, terminal services, as well as the utiliza‐
tion of remaining airport property to provide revenue support and to benefit the economic well‐being
of the regional area. The primary goal of landside facility planning is to provide adequate aircraft stor‐
age space to meet forecast needs, while also maximizing operational efficiencies and land uses. Also
important is identifying the overall land use classification of airport property in order to preserve the
aviation purpose of the facility well into the future. Exhibit 5A presents the view of the planned land‐
side development for Arlington Municipal Airport.
