... Page 12-1 CHAPTER 12: AIR CARGO FACILITIES PLANNING MODEL INSTRUCTIONS CHAPTER OVERVIEW As part of Airports Cooperative Research Program Project 03-24 the team was tasked to develop Air Cargo Facility Planning and Development Guidelines. A key component of these guidelines is an Air Cargo Facility Planning Model which provides airport planners a single source for calculating space and facility utilization for future air cargo buildings, apron area, and parking space.

... Page 12-2 COLLECT AIR CARGO FACILITY DATA The airport master planning process includes completing an inventory of all facilities on an airport, including air cargo facilities. This model requires air cargo facility data to be separated into the five categories which are provided in the model.
From page 276...
... Page 12-3 The model allows inputs for nine attributes of air cargo building facilities these include: Cargo Building Name – The building name may be the recognized name of the building by the airport sponsor, which may be that of the dominant tenant, of the developer or perhaps simply a building number. The choice should reflect what is most commonly understood by the airport staff and relevant constituents.

... Page 12-8 For example, buildings with 50,000 or less require 1.8 square feet of parking space for every one square foot of building space. Ratios can be adjusted by airports planners, should they choose to, in the salmon colored cells in the Truck Parking Ratios worksheet.

... Page 12-9 determining aircraft ramp area space utilization based on current and forecasted air cargo aircraft fleet parking during peak hour periods. This module within the model overrides the ramp area sizing by tonnage if the peak hour demand is greater than the tons/sf module.
