Alamogordo–White Sands Regional Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located four nautical miles (5 mi, 7 km) southwest of the central business district of Alamogordo, a city in Otero County, New Mexico, United States.〔 It was formerly known as Alamogordo Municipal Airport. The airport does not presently have any commercial air service. New Mexico Airlines discontinued service to the airport on April 1, 2012 after the airport lost eligibility for subsidies through the Essential Air Service program. As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 414 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,〔 〕 505 enplanements in 2009, and 369 in 2010.〔 〕 It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a ''general aviation'' airport (the ''commercial service'' category requires at least 2,500 enplanements per year).〔 〕 == Facilities and aircraft == Alamogordo–White Sands Regional Airport covers an area of 1,465 acres (593 ha) at an elevation of 4,200 feet (1,280 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways: 3/21 is 7,006 by 150 feet (2,135 x 46 m) with an asphalt surface; 16/34 is 3,512 by 200 feet (1,070 x 61 m) with a dirt surface.〔 For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2009, the airport had 34,460 aircraft operations, an average of 94 per day: 93% general aviation, 5% air taxi, and 2% military. At that time there were 86 aircraft based at this airport: 88% single-engine, 1% multi-engine, 1% jet, 1% helicopter, 6% glider, and 2% ultralight.〔 The airport installed an 8-kilowatt solar photovoltaic array in November 2008, using a $100,000 grant from the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department. The system is estimated to save the airport $100 to $300 per month, and after 2012 when new buyback rate go into effect that amount may rise to $300 to $500 per month in electric costs savings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alamogordo–White Sands Regional Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
