This book was released on 1996 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given indications of the decline in the quality of Kansas General Aviation Airports and the potential negative effects of airport deterioration on Kansas communities, the objectives of the research are to document the deterioration of Kansas General Aviation Airports by obtaining information regarding the needed capital improvements at these airports; to measure the economic impacts of substandard airports on general aviation service users; and to identify the types of business firms whose location decisions are significantly affected by high quality air service. The objectives of the research are accomplished through the use of questionnaires distributed to managers of Kansas General Aviation Airports, to Kansas businesses that use airports, and to members of the Kansas Pilots Association (KPA). Airport managers provided a long list of needed capital improvements with special emphasis on lengthening and resurfacing the runway.

Download or read book Measurement of Aviation related Tax Revenue in Kansas written by Michael W. Babcock and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this study were to identify the aviation-related taxes, measure the revenue generated, and analyze the trend in recent years in aviation-related tax rates and tax revenue. Aviation-related taxes are defined as taxes paid to Kansas by business firms located at Kansas airports that sell goods and services to aircraft owners and operators. Kansas levies aviation-related taxes but none of the tax revenue is dedicated to supporting state aviation programs. Kansas has no excise tax on jet fuel, aviation gasoline, or mogas, but does levy a 4.9% sales tax on these fuels. The state has no aircraft registration fee but does levy a personal property tax on aircraft. Kansas does have a 4.9% sales tax on aircraft sales, leases and parts. Kansas aviation-related taxes were compared to five other midwestern states, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Tables are also provided showing the types of aviation-related taxes levied in all 50 states.

Download or read book Assessment of Pavement Condition of General Aviation Airports in Kansas written by Mustaque Hossain and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major objective of this research was to assess the pavement condition of the General Aviation (GA) airport runways in Kansas. This study was also intended to form the basis for a pavement management system (PMS) for these airports. The survey shows that approximately 26% of the GA airport runway sections surveyed are in poor to failed condition. The pavement deterioration model developed for these sections indicates that by June 1997 this percentage will increase to about 33%. The network maintenance report developed in this study shows that the fifteen airports under this study are in need of approximately $800,000 for repairs as of June 1995 in order to keep the average condition of these airports rated as "good". In this pilot study, 16 out of 116 paved runways were surveyed for a PMS for the GA airports in Kansas. This study indicates that a full-scale PMS based on MicroPAVER (a microcomputer-based PMS developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) for GA airports in Kansas is feasible. In order to develop a working PMS for the whole network in Kansas, it is recommended that as a minimum, a 30% sample, or 20 more paved runways, be surveyed
