AIRPORT COMMITTEE
1972
ANNUAL REPORT

Secretary
410 FORWARD
One of the requirements of Act 90, Public Acts of 1913 1 under which the Oakland
County Airport Committee operates, is that the Committee wake an Annual Report to the
Board of Commissioners.
It is with pleasure that your Airport Committee submits this report for 1972. We
have spent a busy and productive year working toward the development and improvement
of the two County-owned airports.
Limitation of time and space preclude a detailed account of all of our efforts.
This report should be considered, therefore, as a summary of this past year's highlights.
OAELAND-PONTIAC AIRPORT continues to operate in the black. Specific points of
progress are listed in this report.
Mast significant has been the construction of a parallel east/West runway and
terminal ramp extension with use of Federal and State funds. The terminal ramp
extension is completed and in operation. The runway and its related taxiway network .
are almost complete. Late next spring they will offer much needed relief to the
Airport's traffic and provide safety by separating the smaller and larger aircraft.
A complete instrument landing system is almost fully installed. This very mu&
needed improvement should be in operation within the next month. The installation
will increase safety and allow the airport to be operational at times when it is now
closed.
OAKLAND-ORION AIRPORT continues to operate under the lease management agreement
with NtGran Co., Inc. at no cost to the County. With the help of a State grant and
in conformance with the Master Plan for a basic utility general aviation airport
adopted by the Board of Clownissioners in DeceMber 1971, paving of the north/South
runway was commenced. Because of an unseasonably wet fall, the project will be
completed next spring. Ninety days after the runway's completion, rent will be
received from the facility.
The improved facility will relieve Oakland-Pontiac and serve the need's of
smaller planes and local business.

Secretary.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported that for the year 1971 there

decrease of 3.3% from 1970 but resulted in the Airport operating as the second busiest
in the State.

Consideration was given to an interior circulation system study for the Oakland-
Pontiac Airport. This study proposes an interior loop road and a boulevard entrance
to the terminal building.
Several leases were amended incorporating appropriate civil rights language in
accordance with the Federal Aid Program.

Application was made with the Michigan Aeronautics Commission and the Federal
Aviation Administration for aid in developing Oakland-Pontiac Airport as part of the
1974 Program.
TWo parcels of property located north of the airport were acquired as part of
the parallel runway construction program. These were the last two properties needed
in fee simple as part of the 1972 expansion.
A Light Lane Easement was acquired from the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources over property west of the Airport for installation of part of the
instrument landing system.
The addition to the Voyager Restaurant in the terminal building was completed.
The expansion of the restaurant occurred to the east of the building and increased
the seating capacity by 180.

installed and is in operation.
