1. Min~_r.te=_. - There were na corrections t4s the mint_ttes.
~. Statistics and F'lanninq
Joyce Hals distributed the EXF' and noise complaint reports and
discussed t!-,e following:
There were 24,b~>4 operations in May of 1687, compared to ii_~,E,95 ir,
May, 15'86. Massport assumes this was due to improved weather
conditions. The number of jet operations in May was appro~:irr,ately the
same as in April. The May EXF' increased over April and can be
attributed to increased night operations. On Friday after-noon, June
5tl-,, an Air Force fly-by, passed twice over a flag pole during a
retreat cer-err,ony. The fly-by was conducted by a noisy B~5 and a T-6,
.and generated a number of noise co,r,piaints from Le,:inq_ton residents.
AFB Colonel Flanagan assured the Commission that this was unusual and
in the futur-es fly-bys will be conducted in quieter A-1~}'s or F-16
a. i.r-cr-aft.
Hals also repor-ted that the Statistics ~r F'lanrring report cannat t-,e
r-tL.dy a weeE:: before tl-,e HFAC meeting to be sent with the Agenda
because the data used far- the report cannat be released soon enough by
tt-re FAA to allow the report to be completed in time.
Richard Theriault Hated that the May statistics report shows monthly,
•t•ea.r-lv and nightl~}• increases in operations. He added that noise was
r,~_~r°e nati.ceable. Hals told members tt',at in May during the hour=_. of lj
F'-~+. and 7 A.M. there were nine jet arrivals and eight jet departures,
plus CT singles and i._y twin turbos. Seven operations were a}tempt from,
the surc#-,arge dtte to weather and mechanical problems. Richard
Theriault thought the cost of the surcharge should be increased.
Michelle Matteo ash::ed if they are the same people all the time. Bob
I?omrrit~ said that because there were ~4,~t=~4 operations in May it is
possible that Hanscom is at the field capacity. Hals noted the GEIR
states that .'~i~,Crifi} operations per year is capacity, I}omnitz replied
that ~=,i~cit; operations a month translates into 3t'ri.~~t~C~i_f per year, and
the GEIR should reflect this fact. Rich Theriault asked if the ~•~ia,i_rcri~
is accurate and if the number reflects daily or annual ma>:imum
capacity. He also asked if the capacity was for normal operating
hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fred Marcus was concerned that maximum
capacity is being misrepresented and asked to have. it defined. FranE::
Hidinger, Airport Manager, said that the capacity issue controls
itself because flight instructors cannot do touch and qo's wk-,en it is
busy.. Following this discussion Joyce Hals said she will review where
the .T~f=a,c_)r.")C_'1 number came from and discuss it with the Operations Sub
committee.
Hals also advised the members that the Aviation staff will be
e::piaining to the Massport Board members the opinions and concerns
regarding purchase of the Cerasuolo property in Bedford. She
e;pia.ined that Massport is concerned abot_it future actions from Bedford
regarding reaning and this may be an issue with Board members.
Mtn=.=.~or-t wi 1 1 F-:eep the Commission informed on the proceedings.
Joyce Hals concluded her report by saying tt-,at Massport will be
meeting with Lincoln Selectmen on June ~~ to review the 1986 Noise
Report.
_ Air Force. Base Hazardous Waste Remedial F'rograrn
Wesley Stimson, representing The AFB consulting firm of Haley and
Aldri,d~le, reported on the Air Force plan for removing haardou=_ waste
nri h1 a.=sport property which was dumped by the Rir Force during
19bE~-iP;'4. The Air Force"s aggressive program will clean up several
sites and is e>;pected to last ~4~> year=_. and poses no health hazards..
The Air- Force program is us~.aally divided in four phases, which are
first of all on assessment further refinement and remedial action-,. In
this case phases ? and :_~ have been s~::ipped in order to push forward
with the program. Five Sites will. be wor~::ed on out of an original i'
identified as possible problems. A Hartwell Road fire training area,
and a paint disposal, site near South RoadR a burial pit, fire training
a.nd sanitary landfill area are the sites identified in Concord acrd
Lincoln. None of the sites are near runways. The remedial action for
site one includes e~;cavation and removal of waste plus iriground water
collection treatment wells which strip contaminents. Sites two and
t~„~~e will use the same technology. Site four will be capped with
impervious mats-riai and tt~e landfill closed by DEC~E standards. The
Selectmen from impacted towns have been briefed and a public meeting
will be held on June ."C~, 15?8?.
_. Thunderbird Show Review
LTC. Cour-ington of the Air- Force Base reviewed procedures far the air-
show to be held on August ^`~tl-,. The Air Force Base expects Tr,_)i_3~arr_ii3
visitor-=_.. A Friday mor-Wing practice will tai::e place and they will not
ad~•rer-tile it to prevent spectators..
4. F=~c~_i_~r~~I _Air~~ort_Ct~~dti~
1'Jorman Faramelli reviewed the findings of tF-,e New England airports
ability to provide alternative service opportunities and relieve the
growth pressure on Logan Airport. He outlined the methodology znsed.
The study began with a survey of Logan passengers to establish what
would be needed to diver-t them to other airports. The availability of
back:-up flights 4ya5 found to be a major finding, hence, the focus of
the study became larger airpor-ts. The consultants e..plored =_.evesal
alternatives Such as:
a. alternate commuter hugs at Manchester, Providence, and Worcester,
but was dropped because the concept did not generate enough traffic.
b. a New York: bypass, which was also dropped because the New Yor-~;
air-por-ts do not have enough capacity to absorb the additional traffic.
c a "ring concept", i.e., increased air carrier service #rom
Worcester, Providence and Manchester. Coupled with the "ring", the
passibility of greater utiTi~ation of Bradley as a New England
commuter hub. The consultants found that both the "ring" and Bradley
hub, if implemented, could slow down Logan's growth rate. (Over the
long-terra, each of these has the potential of accommodating roughly,
-4'l, of Logan's traffic.) The consultants believe that increased
activity at the three airports may also entice new commuters. If the
three airports increase their activity plus Bradley becomes a commuter-
hub,. the possibility is that it can taFce the pressure off of Logan.
If not, it means looking for a second airport. The difficulty is
finding enough land. Hanscom would not be a likely candidate due to
di~ticul.ty of filight patterns, nearby residential areas, problerr~ of
access and the National F'arE::. Hanscom could not provide enough
relief. There is no roam for growth at Hanscom. There is no point in
transferring the traffic. IVo decisions have been reached at this
point in tl-~,e study.
5. Proposed Gillette Hangar Lease fi~ssignment
Sandy Sanford, Ct-,ief F'ilot for Gillette, advised member-s that Gillette
is in the process of disposing df its assets at Hanscom Field. Tt-,e
hangar has 7 11~ years remaining of the es;isting lease. Gillette
would like to assign the lease to Cabey Corporation. Matthew Weisman
was introduced as president of the corporation. Mr. Weisman e:;plained
that he has been in corporate aviation fior twenty years at Islip and
Teter-born Airports. He is interested in worE,ing with community groups
and has been on various advisory councils and committees. He has been
teaching a few years and would like to re enter aviation. He
introduced his partner F'hil Cooper. Weisman e.:plained that the
corporation will have joint owners who will base their private
aircraft in the hangar. There will be no selling ofi services to
outside customers. Michael Dye of Jet Aviation said he would tae
opposed to any fuel sales taking place. Michelle Matted, Chairman of
the Commission, as~::ed Weisman to t::eep HFAC informed regarding the
types of aircraft which will be based in the hangar.
~. Final Dr-aft of the Greiner C_ iv~il Terminal Site__Development F;l_a_n
and. Desi~n__Cuidelines Flans ~ ~~ __._
Steven Carr and Mike Steer, consultants from, Carr L.yr,ch Associates and
~3reiner Engineering presented the plans. They reviewed the process
used to deterrr,ine the planned layo~!t of the Terrr,inai area for the
periods of is td 5 years and from ~ to iia years. They also discussed
the need for de=_.ign g~tidel ine=_.. The consultants wor~::ed wi tf ~ tfa.s=.pnr-t
and also took: into accor~nt comrrrents ,r,ade Fy the HFAC operations sub
committee. Steve Carr said the guidelines include putting utilities
underground, new signage, organised parking lots, landscaping and a
cohesive line of buildings and colors. Mi~;e Steer discussed the
phasing and changes possible at the three sides of the airside of the
Terminal and what ct-,anges would be required far various types of
growth. Corporate hangars would remain on the east side in the
vicinity of F'neumo and Gillette. Ther-e is goad opportunity for a
flight school hangar facility as well as es:pansion opportunities for
E~eechcraft. The new E~eechcrafit facility would require a change in use
ofi the e.;isting ramp areas, Tiedown customers now parked in the
vicinity of the new Beechcraft transient ramp would be relocated to
the Tower area currently serving transient aircraft. A new 75 car
parking area will be built to accommodate the change. Flight school
tiedowns will be relocated further down the ramp near the proposed new
hangar.
Steer showed that to the northeast there is room far additional
tiedown areas to be built to serve the flight schools. The west side
offers the best opportunity for changes. The East Coast Aerotech
School (SCAT ) may be moved at the end of their five year lease. The
Hangar ~ area located adjacent to ECAT~ combined with the SCAT area,
would be free for same new aviation activity. The school can be moved
near-by and can retain any requir-ed need for ramp. Jet Aviation has an
opportunity to expand their hangar area. Two new ramps could be built
to accommodate any need for- additional tiedowns and transient
parking. Ta:;iways and access to the east side would have to be
reconfigured if new ramp areas are built.
~~. t"1pEr;~t_ians Lib corr+rr,i ttee_ F'epart
Sill Sahni said that he had reviewed tt-,e plan and felt that the plan
t;arf tt-,re~ bottom lines.
1. The net change in noise will be minimal.
~. There would be a basic incr-ease in tiedowns of 5{~ spaces.
_. The worst case would be that 8C>-IUC~ tiedowns would be relocated
witt-+ir~, i--=~ years depending on transient management area uses and
whether- corn++r+uter- services would be developed . 1 f demand were really
great, same additional tiedowns could be added to an area near tt-re
Digital hangar.
Sa{-+ni aisa said that issues such as telephones, shelter, buslnq, and
flight planning, are important.
Fred i`1ar-cus stated that t!-~,_~ plan waL!ld change the natLlre of tt-,e
airport and believe=. that the planned changes will attract people and
help gr-ow t.l-,. He fieels the plan cannot help bL!t change the character of
the airport and that groa~ti-, of airports creates demand. He asked haw
mLlch additi.anal growth the airport can tolerate"' Massport's response
wa.=_. ti-,a.t the plan does not constitute a policy change. The pilots
=.tated that. th_~y use a.ir-cr-afit mare ofit:en than on weet::ends. They ai=_-o
e;plained that they believe the planned relocation to the East ramp
will Iea..ve their, seer-ile of ser-vices. There was aisa discussion
r-eg:~.rding the areas available for- based aircraft and transient
a. i r ~~ r-af t . "f he c_'ansensL!=_. of the representatives ofi the Hanscor, F`i l ots
Association was that the owners of light, aircraft should be
considered and that Masspar-t. was taa concerned over- transient
aircraft. Massport staff responded that all users have been
consider-ed and tt-,a.t each ne.-. ctc~p will be taken carefully. The staff
and cons!_litants e>.plained that the}~ have listened to the variaL!s
concerns stated and have taEen them into consideration during the

and Neighbors of Hanscom Fielda
We've enclosed the press release which was issued at the time of
the announcement along with accompanying charts on the major paints
of the plan®
Massport's four point plan is deigned to improve air safety,
service and scheduling at Logan Airport by raising the fees for
smaller aircraft, improving Federal funding and coordination for the
regional airport network, developing an air passenger "bill of
rights", and implementing a stronger Federal agenda®
The Federal funding and coordination component of our program is
designed to provide additional funding for development of facilities
and services at such regional commercial airports as Bradley, CT,
Worcester, MA, Manchester, NHS Portland, ME, and Green Airport in
Providence® In our view these airports have the potential to

Neighbors of Hanscom-Field
accommodate a greater share of New England's growing demand for
new aviation services. Hanscom Field would not be a recipient
of these targeted funds, nor does Massport plan to take any
action which would change Hanscom's character as a general and
corporate aviation facility.
We wi11 be meeting with Department of Transportation (DOT)
officials this week to inform them of our plans, and to press
for action on the Federal components of our action plan. We
will be able to discuss this meeting in more detail on Tuesday
night.
All of us at Massport are very pleased that Boston's Mayor
Flynn has embraced our four point plan, and has abandoned his
initial suggestion that Hanscom be studied as a potential.
"reliever" airport for Logan.
Massport does not see Hanscom in this role, nor do we think
that the "second airport" strategy provides a good short-term
solution to congestion at Logan® Our new action plan offers
more immediate and effective relief at Logan without imposing
new environmental burdens at Hanscom and other area airports.
That should be good news for Hanscom, for Hanscom's
neighbors ®- and for everyone who depends on Logan for safe,
reliable air transportation.

Massport, Sen. Kerry and Cong. Kennedy Announce Plan
to Improve Air Safety, Service and Scheduling

BOSTON, MA -- August 27, 1987 -- Massport Executive Director David
W. Davis and Massport Chairman Richard A. Giesser were joined today
by Senator John F. Kerry, Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy II and State
Transportation Secretary Frederick P. Salvuc.,i in announcing a major
four-point plan designed to improve the margin of safety at Logan
and other major airports, reduce delays and congestion at peak
periods, protect the rights of air passengers, and develop a
transportation policy for New England which encourages better use oL
existing regional airports and alternative transportation --
including a proposed high speed rail connection between Boston and
New York.
Kerry, who serves on the Aviation Subcommittee of the Senate
Commerce Committee, and Kennedy, whose district includes Logan
Airport and surrounding residential neighborhoods, announced their
intention to strengthen federal law confirming the right of Logan
and other major airports to establish priority access for larger
passenger aircraft during peak periods. "The U.S. Department of
- 2 -
Transportation is already contemplating new rules which would allow
airports like Logan to take unilateral action to give priority to
larger passenger aircraft. After a very difficult summer when even
the President's personal helicopter has been involved in a near
miss, DOT shouldn't wait any longer to issue those new regulations®"
said Kerry, Cong. Kennedy agreed. °°DOT should become an active
partner in developing a short-term plan for easing airport
congestion. If the Administration doesn°t take immediate action on
this critical problem, then Congress will,°° Kennedy said.
'°Solving the problems of congestion at Logan will require the
cooperation of the federal government,°° agreed Davis. '°Sut
Massport, as a local airport operator, is determined to do whatever
it can to help improve the air transportation system for the benefit
of passengers at Logan International Airport."
In expressing the support of the Dukakis Administration for the
Massport-Kerry-Kennedy plan, State Transportation Secretary Salvucci
noted that Massachusetts officials were taking a balanced and
practical approach to the problem of airport congestion and delay.
°°This program embraces the most direct, immediate and efficient
solutions to concerns about air travel safety and delay,°° said
Salvucci. °°Governor Dukakis has already begun the fight for high
speed rail and for the development of a truly regional airport
system. His proposals, and the program presented today, offer the
best chance to enhance the safety of New England's air travelers -®
and provide some quick and meaningful relief from air traffic
congestion, as well."
- 3 -
Kerry, Kennedy, Davis, Giesser and Salvucci said their plan
.:.contains four separate elements:
1. Higher Fees for Smaller Aircraft/Peak Hour Fees to Improve
Safety, Reduce Delay: Massport will increase Logan's Minimum
Landing Fee and establish a General Aviation Terminal Fee for
all small aircraft using Logan. In addition, Massport will seek
to impose a Peak-Hour Landing Fee on general and commuter
aircraft.
°'The most important effect of this change will be to enable more
people to move through Logan in fewer airplanes,'° said Davis. °°®ur
program should encourage most general aviaton operators to use one
of the numerous regional airports with access to the Boston area.
Those operators remaining at Logan -- particularly smaller commuter
operators -- will be encouraged to use the airport at offpeak
hours. The .result will be a higher level of efficiency at Logan.
That should be good news to the FAA," added Davis, °'since this
change will also improve air safety and congestion by the reducing
the number of smaller and potentially more dangerous aircraft at
L®gan s °°
'°In the era of deregulation, it's time for us to recognize that
access to the nation°s busiest airports is a limited and valuable
resource, and that safety must take precedence over the convenience
of a handful of private aircraft owners. Massport is by no means
alone in reaching this conclusion: Robert Crandall, the President of
American Airlines, recently testified in Washington that peak hour
pricing -- as a method for allocating scarce access at busy airports
-- is an idea whose time has come,°' Davis said.
- 4 -
'°Relief from peak-hour congestion at Logan will also depend on
the airlines moving to more realistic scheduling practices," said
Davis. "That°s why we are asking the DOT to join us in assessing
proposals to maximize airport efficiency and runway utilization for
large jet aircraft, especially during peak periods. ~Ie will be
initiating a public process for full review and comment on these
proposals. Massport wants a system which gives priority to the
largest, quietest, most efficient aircraft,°' Davis said.
2. Better Federal Funding and Coordination for the Regional
Airport Network: Massport will ask the New England FAA office to
establish a special discretionary fund for regional airport
assistance.
°°Because of their small size, many regional airports in New
England and throughout the country have difficulty gaining access to
the money necessary for improving their facilities," said Davis.
"The FAA has been concentrating its expenditures on the biggest
airports, which are already the most crowded. Massport believes
regional airports should have more access to airport improvement
money -- and we're also prepared to help them, should they ask us,
by providing technical assistance in marketing, planning, noise
abatement and other aspects of airport management. We don't foresee
a big shift in traffic to any other airport in our region,'° Davis
said, °°but, by better serving the needs of the travelers in their
own immediate vicinities, regional airports can play an important
role in easing congestion and improving safety around Logan."
- 5 -
3. An Air Passenger °'Bill of Rights:°° Massport will gather and
distribute information about airline policies concerning
cancellations, overbookings, lost luggage. and other service
problems.
"Many passengers don't know who to talk to at the airlines, or,
when necessary, how to get help from state or federal consumer and
legal agencies," said Congressman Kennedy. "Massport and others
have asked the federal DOT to use its authority to establish a
nationwide complaint and referral hot line, and to issue performance
report cards for all major airlines," said Kennedy.
"We believe that there should be immediate action in this area,
But if the federal government isn't prepared to act,°' noted Davis;
°°then Massport will set up a local system to provide information to
New England travelers. In a free and open society, consumers ought
to be able to make informed decisions about which airline to fly."
Kennedy announced that the House Public Works Committee had already
recommended that airlines be fined for failure to live up to minimum
standards of service in the areas of candled flights, lost bagagge,
and overbooking of seats. "Air passengers have suffered enough
confusion, frustration, and indignity. Congress is going to require
action in this area," said Kennedy. '°No airline lobbyist is going
to be able to undermine the strong consensus we have forged on this
lSSUe. P/
Davis announced that a local informational pamphlet -- a New
England '°Air Passenger Bill of Rights'° would be made available to
the public at all Massport information desks and through Massport's
Public Affairs Department.
- 6 -
°°Working with our Congressional delegation, Massport will hush
'°We're also asking that Congress and the ~®~ confirm the right
- ~
rights, we're asking the ~ to place the same restrictions on the
airspace around Boston as they have recently applied to the Dos
Angeles area. ~e know the FAA is trying to provide an added measure
Davis also asked the FAA to require all aircraft td use
Davis further called on the F to work out an agreement with
_ ~ s
our problems, I think that they should stop shifting the burden to
the statese The New England office of the F should be looking at
the potential of possible alternative airport locations here in our
Kerry also announced that he would support legislation which
would keep the Airport Trust Fund from being counted as part of the
Federal Eudget for purposes of debt reductions ''There's over 5
billion sitting in the Airport Trust Fund that the Reagan
Administration won' t spend because it shows up in their books as a
credit against the federal deficit® That money was raised by taxing
airline passengers in Order to pay for improvements in the national
air transportation systems it Can't be spent for any other purposem
It°s time for the Department of Transportation to stop tying up this
money for the sake of a phoney accounting trick, and to recognise
that the Airport Tr ust Fund should no longer be counted as part of
the general budgetm It's incredible that the White House should
_ g -
persist in trying to balance the federal budget on the backs of air
travelers,'° Kerry said.
Kerry called for the DOT to "get tie lead out'° on development
and distribution of on-board crash alert devices (known in
