an Manuel Airport – S NOTE: The State’s SASP forecasts were S an Manuel, Arizona MASTER PLAN 2014 completed in 2008, and were based on 11 incorrect beginning data of 57 based aircraft at San Manuel in 2007 (there were 10 approximately 30-32). Growth Projections 9 BASED AIRCRAFT 8 The chart to the right shows the projected growth in the number of based airplanes at 7 San Manuel Airport, and includes a comparison with three other independent 6 studies that were completed for the airport in the past. 5 There are currently 36 based aircraft. The 4 forecasts suggest that this could increase to 78 aircraft over the next twenty years. 3 (MAXIMUM PROJECTED POTENTIAL ACTIVITY) (36 Existing) 2 1 As a point of reference, there were 30 based aircraft at San Manuel in 2003.
