4 2001 Master Plan Concepts
2001 Master Plan Concept A Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Builds on existing terminal facilities Implementation and phasing Minimal cost Disadvantages: Does not provide enhanced airfield No enhanced access (no connection to I-5 or rail line) 5
2001 Master Plan Concept B1 Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Builds on existing terminal, access and parking facilities Implementation and phasing One of the least expensive concepts Disadvantages: Does not provide enhanced airfield capacity or reliability No enhanced access (no connection to I- 5 or rail line) 6
2001 Master Plan Concept B2 Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Takes advantage of access to I-5 and rail line Builds on existing terminal facilities Implementation and phasing Disadvantages: Does not provide enhanced airfield capacity or reliability Split terminal complex scenario 7
2001 Master Plan Concept C Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Provides increase in airfield capacity with parallel runways Takes advantage of I-5 and rail line Implementation and phasing Disadvantages: Does not build on existing terminal, access and parking facilities Requires acquisition of Teledyne-Ryan property 8
2001 Master Plan Concept D2 Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Provides increase in airfield capacity Takes advantage of access to I-5 and rail line Builds on existing terminal facilities Minimal disruption of operations during implementation Disadvantages: Relatively higher development costs (2 new runways and APM) Requires acquisition of MCRD property 9
2001 Master Plan Concept E Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Provides increase in airfield capacity with parallel runways Builds on existing terminal, access and parking facilities Implementation and phasing Disadvantages: No enhanced access (no connection to I-5 or rail line) Requires relocation of ATCT and fuel farm Requires acquisition of Teledyne-Ryan property 10
2001 Master Plan Concept E2 Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Provides increase in airfield capacity Takes advantage of access to I-5 and rail line Builds on existing terminal facilities Implementation and phasing Disadvantages: Relatively higher development costs (2 new runways and APM) Requires acquisition of MCRD property 11
2001 Master Plan Concept F Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Provides greatest increase in airfield capacity Avoids some existing Point Loma obstructions/residential areas Takes advantage of access to I-5 and rail line Disadvantages: Does not build on existing terminal, access and parking facilities Requires relocation of ATCT and fuel farm Requires closure of MCRD 12
2001 Master Plan Concept G (SDIA) Source: HNTB, June 2001. Connection to NAS North Island Advantages: Provides increase in airfield capacity with North Island airfield Takes advantage of access to I-5 and rail line Redirects departures and arrivals over the water Disadvantages: Requires split operation Higher development and implementation costs Acquisition of Naval property and joint use operation authorization 13
2001 Master Plan Concept G (NAS North Island) Connection to Lindbergh Field Source: HNTB, June 2001. Advantages: Provides increase in airfield capacity with North Island airfield Takes advantage of access to I-5 and rail line Redirects departures and arrivals over the water Disadvantages: Requires split operation Higher development and implementation costs Acquisition of Naval property and joint use operation authorization 14

Future Technology The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS) Initiatives The FAA s Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) Integrated Product Teams (IPT) The Agile Air Traffic System (AATS) IPT is developing the following capacity enhancement concepts: Super Density Operations Arrival/Arrival & Departure/Departure Equivalent Visual Operations Virtual Tower/Sense & Avoid 25
Technology Implications for Lindbergh Field Potential Application at SDIA Future potential reductions in separation criterion and improved traffic flows could: Allow for an increased peak arrivals, but it would require a decrease in departures. Conversely, as the number of departures increase, the number of arrivals will decrease. Fundamentally, technology cannot measurably increase the physical capacity of a single runway airfield. In the two-runway alternatives, new technology, when applied to dedicated arrival and departure runways, could increase throughput by approximately 10%. 26
