Airport Master Plan and Preservation Study for Hampton Airfield.

摘要

Understanding this threat to public-use airports, NHDOT Bureau of Aeronautics decided to analyze Hampton Airfield as a case study. This small but active airport has endured many of the same challenges as airports much larger. One of the most impressive differences is the fact that the private owners have done so with very limited outside financial support. For these reasons, the various aspects of the Hampton Airfields operation have been evaluated. This information has been used to develop tools that are intended to help promote, preserve, and protect not only Hampton Airfield, but other public-use airports in New Hampshire facing similar challenges. An Airport Preservation Tool Box was developed concurrently with this study and is intended primarily as a resource for airport stakeholders and proponents. The document was published in 2008 and can be accessed through the NHDOT, Bureau of Aeronautics website.
