PARTNERS @ Solberg - A Safer Airport

Since an ILS allows pilots to land straight onto the runway, they will not have to circle around the airport, which will cut the amount homes that the aircraft will fly over, thus reducing air noise.

Longer runways provide aircraft more area to land in case of an aborted takeoff or an emergency.

Longer runways allow aircraft to obtain greater altitude above the airport and houses by starting the takeoff roll further away from homes.

The rate of accidents with Instrument Rated pilots is much less than with Visual (Non-Instrument) Pilots.

If Runway 31-13 was paved, the airport would be safer because pilots would be able to land if the winds were out of a direction that was unfavorable for the current Runway 22-04.

If Readington Township was to condem Solberg Airport, the law states that they would have to plow the runway of snow FIRST, before any other road.

If the improvements were completed, the size of the aircraft that could use the airport would not increase, because the current size would be the future size of aircraft that would land at Solberg Airport. The only difference would be that the airport would be safer for these aircraft to land there.

Aviation represents 5% of the gross national product (21 billion dollars).

General Aviation provides approximately 250,000 jobs.

Businesses such as Merck use Solberg Airport for business reasons. For example, they pay approximately 20% of the taxes in Readington Township.
