Should TSA establish new security requirements for general aviation airports , competing funding needs could challenge the ability of general aviation airport operators to meet these requirements . We examined potential sources of funding for additional security measures at general aviation airports , including challenges associated with limited funding . On the fueling issue , AOPA 's Rhodes , who has nearly 20 years ' experience managing both commercial service and general aviation airports , urged authority members to pursue competitive fueling options . TSA is taking some additional action to strengthen security at general aviation airports , including developing a risk-based self - assessment tool for general aviation airports to use in identifying security concerns . Further , should TSA establish new security requirements for general aviation airports , competing funding needs could challenge the ability of general aviation airport operators to meet these requirements . " SATS would create a transportation alternative to crowded highways and commercial airports by leveraging the nation 's thousands of general aviation airports , using new technologies to make GA aircraft easier to fly and providing advanced instrument approaches without the need for radar or controllers into more airports . TSA is taking some additional action to strengthen security at general aviation airports , including developing a risk-based self-assessment tool for general aviation airports to use in identifying security concerns . Further rationales for this approach include : ( 1 ) the large number of general and civil aviation airports , ( 2 ) the relatively small difference in number of runways between many airports , ( 3 ) many runways have lengths sufficient for large commercial aircraft , ( 4 ) under emergency conditions , air traffic control capacity can be rapidly and significantly increased by deploying specialized military units , ( 5 ) airport throughput capacity is extremely elastic ( under emergency conditions small airport cargo handling capacity can be significantly increased of Indirect Economic Losses ATC-25 6:6 : Estimates of Indirect Economic Losses ATC-25 Example 6.1 This example illustrates the residual capacity calculation algorithm for point source systems , using health care centers in Illinois as an example .
