It is anticipated that turboprop operations will remain constant over the planning horizon. Port staff also prepared an inventory of aircraft currently based at the Airport by type of aircraft • (helicopter, jet, piston, turboprop). Forecasts of based general aviation aircraft were based on current waiting lists for hangar space at OAK and industry trends and forecasts (e.g., forecasts prepared by others, including National Business Aviation Association, General Aviation • Manufacturers Association, Rolls -Royce, and Honeywell). It is important to note that there is not a direct correlation between the existing or projected number of general aviation operations and • the number of based aircraft at OAK. For example, basing a corporate jet at OAK may actually decrease operations because the corporate jet operator no longer needs to fly into. and out of OAK just to pick - up.and drop -off passengers (i.e., the aircraft is already parked at OAK ready to go). However, some based aircraft, such as those at flight schools, generate a disproportionately high number of operations due to training activity (such as touch and go flights, which is a series of take -offs and landings in a rectangular pattem)..It should also be noted that most of the anticipated new based aircraft demand is for hangars, not tie -down space . on a ramp. . The following table summarizes the master plan forecasts for general aviation operations and based aircraft by type of aircraft (helicopter, jet, piston, turboprop): • Master Plan General Aviation Forecasts Type of Aircraft Existing 2010 1 2025 AnnualOperations" Helicopter 2,704 35,507 n/a Jet 16,574 19,937 n/a • • Piston 103,542 97,238 n/a Turboprop 5,822 5,822 n/a Total 128,642 158,504 Na Daily Operations Helicopter 7 97 n/a Jet 45 55 n/a Piston 284 266 n/a Turboprop 16 16 n/a Total 352 434 Na • Based Aircraft Helicopter 6 14 14 ' Jet 29 36 58 Piston 228 320 320 • Turboprop 14 14 14 • .
