Page 4 of 7 In May 2022, six (6) households made seven (7) reports. Four (4) households reported noise in the traffic pattern. One (1) household reported low-flying aircraft. One (1) household reported aircraft in the traffic pattern. Two (2) of the complaints did not specify the type of fixed-wing aircraft and are categorized as unknown regarding the type of propulsion. Staff confirmed aircraft reported were at or above normal approach and departure altitudes as verified through flight tracking software and air traffic control. Two (2) households were first-time contacts. COMMISSIONER JURGENS asked about the nature of the calls that the airport received. MR. REEVES responded that the calls are split between noise, low-flying aircraft, increase in the traffic pattern, and other reports. “Other” is anything that does not refer to any of the listed categories. Most of the calls are noise related, but the second highest complaint is for low-flying as the perceived altitude is considered by the residents as too low. The calls being reported are used as an opportunity to educate the public. CHAIRMAN HAWLEY asked if the two (2) first-time caller households were located in Maricopa. MR. REEVES stated that one household did not have a Maricopa phone number. Staff believes the calls came from a Chandler or a Gilbert resident based upon the traffic they described. COMMISSIONER WAKEFIELD asked if staff has seen any changes with the housing developments maturing and by educating the public. MR. REEVES responded, yes. Staff has spent a lot of time speaking to residents. As developments mature across the industry you see a decline. When housing development experiences a lot of turnovers, there is a rise in calls. 5. Monthly Operations Report MR. REEVES gave an overview of the Monthly Operations Report for the month of May 2022 with 17,377 operations for the month and stated that operations are down by 2,500 this month as compared to last year. This is a trend that he cannot explain and will need more data to understand. May 2021 had a total of 19,934 operations. CHD is currently ranked as 45th in the nation and 15th in the GA rankings. The total 12-month operations for May 2021 were 215,851 while for May 2022, the total number of operations are 211,667. VICE CHAIRMAN MCCORKLE asked if it was possible to include the IFR total and the average fuel prices for each month. MR. REEVES responded that it might be difficult. Page 5 of 7 VICE CHAIRMAN MCCORKLE asked if the fuel prices for Chandler be included as well as the average temperature. MR. REEVES responded that he would look into it. CHAIRMAN HAWLEY asked about the process for raising fuel prices. MR. REEVES responded that the Airport has an equation that takes into consideration the overhead cost, as well as the industry regional cost and built-in product cost. Staff researches the average spread across a multi-year period of pricing variation in avgas. An $0.80 margin on top of the cost of fuel is maintained as a minimum. There is an allowance built into the pricing structure in the fee schedule to obtain permission from the City Manager to lower the price below the $0.80 margin to avoid what is known as stranded or inverted inventory. CHAIRMAN HAWLEY asked about the fuel tank’s capacity. MR. REEVES responded 12,000 gallons and that it is an underground tank. 6. Monthly Origins and Destinations Report The data provided documents the “Top 20” filed IFR Flightplans for corporate operators into and from the Chandler Municipal Airport in May 2022. These flights represent business travel utilizing CHD; 252 such flights took place in May 2022. There were two repositioning flights of note, representing 1,336 gallons of fuel. All flights to and from CHD represent 35,350 gallons of fuel burn enroute. 7. Monthly Construction Report MR. ANDRES gave an overview of the Construction Report.
