year planning period and is prepared in collaboration with Federal and State agencies , local officials , and interested Airport users A goal of the study was to identify facility needs and evaluate development alternatives in order to provide guidance for the future development of the Airport based on conditions existing in late 2018 and early 2019 The plan recommends improvements in accordance with specific Federal Aviation Administration FAA criteria , taking into consideration anticipated changes in aviation activity and trends at the local , regional , state , and national levels The JNX Master Plan utilized an integrated approach Exhibit E 1 to incorporate strategic planning and environmental planning elements into the master planning process to help the Airport make informed decisions that will maximize its utility and minimize its impacts to its surroundings EXHIBIT E 1 MASTER PLANNING PROCESS Existing Facility Environmental Implementation Conditions Requirements Considerations Plan Aviation Activity Alternatives Airport Layout Forecasts Plans Ongoing Planning and Master Plan Advisory Group Coordination Source Marr Arnold Planning The following briefly outlines the major findings and recommendations presented in the Master Plan Report while Exhibit E 2 visually presents airfield improvements • Aviation Activity & Projections JNX is a robust general aviation airport serving the Research Triangle Area and plays a large role in supporting the economic vitality of the region and welfare of the state Considering its role in the national and state systems of airports as a regional business aviation facility , economic growth of the region , and the diversified user base , it is anticipated that the Airport will see more than 40 additional aircraft over the 20 - year planning period with nearly 30 of those new aircraft being either multi - engine or jet aircraft Annual aircraft operations by aircraft is projected to increase to over 160,000 over the same period , with a significant portion of these operations attributed to flight training The Airport is designed to accommodate FAA Runway Design Code RDC B - III critical aircraft which includes twin engine and business jet aircraft Based on historic data and recent trends , it is 3PagePage pageNumber5Johnston Regional Airport Master Plan recommended that the Airport monitor activity by FAA RDC C - II aircraft which have faster approach speeds and protect facilities and infrastructure to accommodate both C - II and B - III • Air?eld Capacity When an airport reaches 60 - 75 of its annual service volume , the FAA recommends that the airport begin to plan for capacity improvements The Master Plan identified that the Airport could reach this planning threshold during the planning horizon and recommends that over the next several years , the Airport take the appropriate steps to track and collect more detailed operational activity data to validate the operational estimates developed as part of this project • Facility Requirements Major facility improvements that are needed to meet future demand and safety design standards include a runway extension that will allow the Airport to accommodate future operations by larger and faster aircraft and additional hangar and apron storage for aircraft • Alternatives Analysis Multiple alternatives were evaluated for Runway 3 21 and for landside facilities Ultimately , it is recommended that Runway 3 21 be extended to 6,200 feet and have an additional 900 - foot stopway located on Runway 21 and development of the midfield area and north apron to accommodate demand • Environmental Considerations In October 2020 , the Airport completed an Environmental Assessment for the Midfield Development area and received a Finding of No Significant Impact FONSI The mitigation measures and permitting to address the identified 10 acres of wetlands that will be impacted will need to be implemented prior to October 2023 • Strategic Planning Several strategic elements were included in the Master Plan that provided focus to the development of the Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan over the next 20 years These elements situational analysis , development of mission vision , goals and objectives , and financial analysis will provide JNX with the foundation to continue the effort with a Strategic Business Plan This Plan will further allow the Airport to maximize revenues and development potential in a focused manner It is important to acknowledge that the JNX Airport Master Plan was initiated prior to the COVID - 19 pandemic and as of early 2021 , the full impact of the health crisis and the economic impact caused by the pandemic are still largely unknown General aviation activity and aircraft orders have slowed and will likely remain slow into 2021 as the COVID vaccination is rolled out While corporate travel , flight training , and skydiving operations are starting to operate as " normal , " large gathering events like airshows remain cancelled The biggest question for the aviation community , and the rest of the world , is how long the virus - induced economic recession will last The pandemic impacted operations at Johnston County Airport JNX in 2020 and will likely impact activity in 2021 as well 4PagePage pageNumber6Johnston Regional Airport Master Plan EXHIBIT E 2 CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN CITATION LN RD BARBOUR Property ROFA RSA roperty W BUS P OFA RSA 70 HWY R strial onautical Area US RD Indu ment CREEK topway ROFZ Aer SWIFT & Develop Services S Future 900 ROFZ Property DR INDUSTRIAL ustrial Plan Area AIRPORT Facility Self -

Durham International Airport RDU which falls within Class C airspace which is more restrictive airspace requiring two - way radio communication with air traffic control while operating in the Class C airspace EXHIBIT 14 NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM Source FAA 16Page8Johnston Regional Airport Master Plan North Carolina has several areas where there is restricted airspace due to military operation areas MOA or other restrictions associated with a military installment or establishment An MOA is airspace designated outside of Class A airspace to separate or segregate certain nonhazardous military activities from Instrument Flight Rules IFR traffic and to identify where these activities are conducted for Visual Flight Rules VFR traffic The current airspace characteristics of the region , as depicted on the Charlotte Sectional Aeronautical Chart , are presented in Exhibit 15 As shown , JNX lies within the Seymour Johnson Echo MOA EXHIBIT 15 REGIONAL AIRSPACE Source Charlotte Sectional Aeronautical Chart , Effective January 3 , 2019 17Page9Johnston Regional Airport Master Plan Instrument Approaches An instrument approach improves airport air access and operational efficiency and helps improve safety during a wide variety of meteorological conditions Historically , most flight procedures have been based on land - based navigational aids requiring considerable investment for equipment and maintenance Land - based approach equipment includes Instrument Landing Systems ILS , Very High Frequency Omni - Directional Range VORs , and Non - Directional Beacons NDBs Over the last decade , many of the approaches using land - based equipment have been replaced with satellite - based approaches that utilize Global Positioning Systems GPS GPS procedures accommodate precision - like approaches without requiring additional land - based equipment at the airport Area Navigation RNAV GPS approaches offer improved accuracy and lower approach minimums without land - based equipment Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance LPV or Lateral Navigation LNAV are the most popular RNAV GPS approaches LPV minimums offer improved accuracy with Wide Area Augmentation System WAAS and provide both lateral and vertical guidance similar to an ILS The FAA recognizes three instrument approach types Precision Approach PA , Approach with Vertical Guidance APV , and Non - Precision Approach NPA The definition of each these approach types is provided below and Table 14 summarizes the existing instrument approach procedures available at JNX • Precision Approach PA are the most precise approach guidance via horizontal and vertical guidance with visibility minima of less than 3 4 statute and a Height Above Touchdown HAT less than 250 feet above ground level AGL This type of approach requires ground based equipment such as an ILS • Approach with Vertical Guidance APV utilizes WAAS to augment GPS by providing the critical vertical component to aircraft for very precise approaches using only GPS These approaches are not considered precision approaches by the FAA because they do not include horizontal guidance to the runway end or include ground based equipment such as the localizer and glide slope This type of approach requires additional equipment in the aircraft • Non - Precision Approaches NPA only provide horizontal guidance to aircraft resulting in less precise approaches 18Page0Johnston Regional Airport Master Plan TABLE 14 INSTRUMENT APPROACH SUMMARY Ceiling feet AGL and Visibility Approach Type Runway End Minimums mile Precision ILS Y or LOC Y Runway 3 300 ' AGL 1 2 mile ILS Z or LOC Z Runway 3 300 ' AGL 1 2 mile Approach with Vertical Guidance RNAV GPS -

related concerns as a result of airport operations Such planning also serves to preserve the quality of life of surrounding neighborhoods from products of airport aircraft operations including such things as aircraft noise , dust , and fumes Effective land use planning via such mechanisms as zoning protects airspace , defines use of land , and considers aircraft noise impacts Currently the FAA considers airport compatible land use planning to be a top priority for airport sponsors to be concerned with and address through local planning and the airport planning process Johnston County has zoning ordinances in place to address aviation activity and land use around JNX as shown in Exhibit 16 Johnston County has adopted an Airport Height Hazard District zone and Smithfield has adopted an Airport District zone The purpose of these zones is to ensure compatible land use with Johnston Regional Airport Analysis and recommendations regarding compatible land use at JNX will be included later in this master plan 20Page2Johnston Regional Airport Master Plan Figure 2 -

foot , and 4 - foot chainlink fencing There are several automatic access gates installed in the terminal and midfield hangar areas 15 Aviation Activity Historic data for the aviation activity components are summarized in the following sections These components will be examined in greater detail in Section 2 Aviation Activity Forecasts 151 BASED AIRCRAFT AND AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS A based aircraft is defined as an aircraft that is permanently stored at an airport , typically in a hangar or tied down on an airport's apron area The number and types of based aircraft at airports fluctuate as aircraft owners relocate and or change the type of aircraft they own In addition , on - airport flight schools and charter services that may be provided by FBOs frequently adjust their aircraft operating fleet to match the demand for their services Historic aircraft counts for JNX were compiled from several sources including Airport records , National Based Aircraft Inventory NBAI Database , and FAA's Terminal Area Forecasts TAF Airport management reports based aircraft to the Johnston County Tax Administration Office on January 1st of each year The aircraft reported to the County represent aircraft that have lease agreements hangars and or tie - downs with the Airport Authority and pay property taxes on their aircraft to Johnston County Based aircraft counts from 1998 - 2018 are provided in Table 16 Based aircraft data prior to 2008 was obtained from the FAA TAF and remaining data was provided by the County's tax reports Over the last several years , JNX has seen an influx in based aircraft that can be directly attributed to two key events the construction of several conventional hangars and the addition of 12 aircraft from Blue Line Aviation's Raleigh - Durham International RDU facilities to its new permanent location at JNX An aircraft operation represents either a landing or a departure conducted at an airport Because the Airport does not have an air traffic control tower , aircraft operations at JNX are estimated and based on available FAA TAF data Through conversations with airport management and business tenants based at the Airport , Airport operations for 2018 are estimated to be 107,500 Similar to the increase in based aircraft over the last several years , the increase in operations at JNX are directly attributed to the shift in Blue Line Aviation's operations from RDU to JNX over the last several years In January 2019 , Blue Line Aviation announced plans to build a state - of - the - art hangar , training facility , and restaurant Groundbreaking on the new facility is expected in Summer 2019 22Page4Johnston Regional Airport Master Plan TABLE 16 HISTORIC BASED AIRCRAFT AND ANNUAL OPERATIONS ACTIVITY 1998 -
