By: rk Spatz, Preside ATTEST: Irene Peters, Secretary/Treasurer MEMORANDUM `' TO: DOUGLAS K. LESLIE FROM: MARK SEESING+3' DATE: DECEMBER 28. 1992 SUBJECT: CCA - FUELING ISSUE Enclosed are communications dealing with the Fuel Farm inspections via the FAA and responses from Cape Central to the FAA on corrective actions. The FAA has inspected this facility several times in 1992 in addition to inspections performed by the Navy and Trans States Airlines. I have no correspondences on the Navy inspections but have enclosed the latest Trans States inspection on December 22. By lease, Cape Central is required to supply all services of a full service fixed base operation (Article I, Section B) and do it in observance of all Federal, State or local statutes, ordinances or regulations in effect (Article I Section C). Under Article 7, section C the Lessor can terminate the lease if the lessee fails to offer any of the services outlined in Article I, Section B and if they fail to maintain the licenses for all of the operations listed in the lease. I have contacted Mark Spatz on several occasions to see about what steps are underway to relocate the facility to a new location as required under his lease. Mr. Spatz advised me that he is working on the issue and has petitioned for an extension of the time frame of an additional 18 months for completion of the relocation. I have indicated that there may be a possible extension of 6 months, but there would not be an additional 18 months on top of the 12 months already stipulated in the lease. The FAA contacts Trans States each time they find discrepancies with the fuel system. In return, Trans States stops buying fuel until all of the FAA issues are rectified and each FAA inspector finds additional items to be corrected. Mr. Spatz has informed the FAA inspectors of the impending relocation and in certain areas the FAA has allowed some leeway. However, some of the items have been listed repeatedly and do need immediate attention.

The format follows hat of your letter. Please note that we have had three (3) inspections in the past four (4) months in which no discrepancies were noted. The fuel farm and equipment is virtually unchanged since the Lime of these past inspections. The first inspection included you as an inspector May 1992, no discrepancies were noted. The second by representatives of the Blue Angels prior to their show May 9th and 10th 1992, no discrepancies noted. The third by James Shell for Trans World Express May 29, 1992, all items satisfactory. rr I bring these points to light in order to express some concern regarding consistency. A consistent standard applied across the board is all that we ask for. Corrective actions: A. FUEL FARM 1. Pressure relief valve cleaned. Leak solved. 2.

We are counting on the underground fuel tank insurance to limit our liability when we move the fuel tanks. Due to the infancy of the State insurance program which is designed to help reduce the exposure that underground fuel storage tanks pose, we are having difficulty getting the proper coverage. Since we pay the state fuel taxes for this program we are eligible for the insurance. However the insurance program has not matured to the point where they are able to assimilate the applicants in a timely manner. Due to this unforseen delay I am requesting an extension of the fuel farm move of eighteen (18) months. Your consideration of this is greatly appreciated. Call me with any questions.

Emerging after airline deregula- tion to handle high-value, low - weight packages that shippers wanted moved overnight, integrated carriers—which own both aircraft and trucks—have built up their market segment from virtually noth- ing into the lion's share of a $14.4 billion business. Fueled by this growth in the express letter and small -package segment, the total aircargo market has risen by $5 billion in the past five years. And the upturn is expected to continue. By 1995, reve- nues are projected to dou- ble from the current $14.4 billion to $27 billion, according to estimates from the Colography Group, a Marietta, Ga.- based a:based consulting and re- search firm. Yet the industry still faces a couple of hurdles if it is to fulfill these pro- jections. Both airport ca- pacity constraints and burgeoning airport noise restrictions could dampen the outlook, observers say. In the meantime, however, carriers specializing in the express delivery of small packages and letters con- tinue to enjoy unparalleled Federal Express sparked a revolution that isn't over yet. BY JAMES AARON COOKE, SENIOR EDITOR growth, while more traditional for- warders scramble to carve out their own niche in a fast -changing market. Considering that the integrators didn't exist 20 years ago, their track record during the past decade is nothing short of amazing. "The whole industry grew up in the '80s, at least with respect to overnight service and integrated carriers;'says Steve Alterman, executive vice president of the Air Freight Association. "They've come from zero to where they are today, which is the dominant force in a $14 billion annual business." No other air carrier did so much to change the air - cargo business in the 1980s as Federal Express, a com- pany founded in 1973 with a fleet of eight small air- craft. One of the first to lake advantage of deregu- lation in 1978, the Mem- phis, Tenn. -based air car- rier quickly expanded its market such that it served virtually the entire country by 1980. Federal Express's ap- proach to air cargo was completely different from any previously taken. From the end of World War 11 to the late '70s, the forwarders had been the key players in the move- ment of air freight. A ship- per wishing to move cargo by air would tender it to a AUGUST 1991 •TTIAFFIC MM AGEMEW/]r WHITE PAPER REPORT freight forwarder, which would pick up the shipment. consolidate it with other shipments into an air con- tainer, and lender that container to an air carrier for transport from air- port to airport. For the air move- ment, forwarders could turn to American and United, which oper- ated freighter fleets, or to Flying Ti- gers, an all -cargo airline established after World War It. Basically, for- warders concentrated on heavy cargo weighing more than 70 pounds, leaving the small -package business to airline couriers. FedEx Takes the lead Federal took the opposite tack. It specialized in shipments weighing under 70 pounds and controlled the entire movement. Its trucks would pick up the parcel or document at the shipper's office, transport it to the airport, and place it on a Federal aircraft. Airplanes from all over the country then flew to a hub in Mem- phis. (This "hub -and -spoke" con- cept later was adopted by the combi- nation airlines for passengers.) There shipments were off-loaded, sorted onto giant conveyor belts, and then placed back on the aircraft goings to the Final destination. At the destination city, a Federal van would deliver the package to the consignee, meeting its promise to the shipper to do the job "positively, absolutely" overnight. As it turned out, Federal's liming was excellent. At the same time it started building up its exppress small. package business, the (IT. manufac- turing industry was undergoing a minor revolution of its own. First, manufacturers, particularly in elec- tronics and computers, began mak- ing products smaller and lighter— and therefore, better candidates for air shipment. Second, U.S. retailers and manufacturers embarked on an inventory -reduction campaign, keeping less stock on hand to serve their customers. "As we worked in- ventory out of the (distribution) sys. tem in the '80s, it became more ebec. ble for air (shipment)," notes Justin F. Zubrod, managing director of the transportation -consulting practice at A.T. Kearney in Chicago. Not surprisingly, other companies soon followed Federal's lead. Puro- lator Courier, Airborne, and—in the late'80s—UPS all entered the over- night small-package–delivery fray. 38rMAFFIC MANAGEMENT • AUGUST IRt1 Fguro 1 Express Carriers, Save Explosive Growth Percent of Market 1875—Mae ChW�316 rter ess Carriers --Scheduled Freight 1880 Mail Charter Freight Express Carriers Scheduled Freight 1985 Mail Charter. .,freight Express Garners ' --- Scheduled Freight,' 1Ci,kFreight Matt .d%=harter, xpressarriers Scheduled Freight SA,,a Iexa fNwaw A4 e.6 ox yl, Express oarrkrs fere assn exptosha gnWh, ine a ting they bus, no," Com just 3 percent 1n 1975 to needy hely the aide ght market by 1988. -.. In addition, forwarders Emcrv. CF Air Freight, and Burlington Air Ex- press purchased their own aircraft to become integrated carriers. In- stead of targeting the small -package segment of the business, however, these carriers chose to concentrate on the overnight movement of heavy cargo. By the end of the dec- ade, the integrated or express carri- ers had gone from virtually nothing to controlling nearly half the reve- nue tan -miles for U.S. domestic air cargo (see Figure 1). By the start of 1990, the intense competition for overnight express and heavy airfreight had resulted in an industry shakeout. Many of the key players had merged will) others or closed their doors. For instance, in a bid to expand into overseas markets, Federal Express in 1989 swallowed Flying Tigers, the world's largest all -cargo airline, for $880 million. Emery bought Purolator in 1987 for about $300 million, only to run into problems that resulted in Consolidated Freightways Inc.'s purchase of Emery for $230 million. While the integrated carriers con- solidated their ranks, the U.S. com- bination airlines abandoned their cargo -dedicated aircraft. Today, the only major U.S. airline operating freighters is Northwest, which uses those planes only to serve the Asian and European markets. The sched- uled airlines now move domestic freight garnered by forwarders in the bellies oftheir passenger aircraft. Tough Times for Forwarders For the time being at least, the makeup of the U.S. domestic air - cargo industry is expected to remain largely unchanged.. According to vir- tually all projections, the integrated carriers will continue to be the dominant players in an an -cargo marketplace that's expected to reach 1,6 trillion total shipments by 1995 (see Figure 2). What does this mean for the airfreight forwarders? At the very least. an uphill battle to regain a major place in the U.S. domestic business. At the same time, they will face vet another challenge from Fed- eral Express, which this past year ag- gressivelyeniered the heavy domes- tic freight market. More than likely, the forwarders will respond by stepping up their pursuit of deferred airfreight, a strategy they developed in the '8 WHITE PAPER REPORT when they realized that their reli- ance on commercial airlines put them at a severe disadvantage in the same-day and overnight delivery market. "The forwarders have been somewhat left behind domestically in the United States in their ability to compete with overnight services and early morning deliveries;' says Brian Campbell, a consultant in the aviation consulting firm of Leeper, Cambridge and Campbell Inc. in Al- exandria, Va. "Their market niche is deferred freight." Yet if the forwarders are to suc- ceed here, they will have to build closer ties with the combination car- riers. In particular. they will have to develop the ability to exchange up-to-the-mmute shipment informa- tion, a technology shippers have come to expect from the integrated carriers. At least one airline has taken preliminary steps in that di- rection. American .Airlines has be- gun investing in the technology to bar code each shipment it handles and thus provide tracking capabili- ties. "Automation is the key," says American Airlines Cargo Division President William R. Boesch. Over 7pD �— the next five years, he predicts, the combination carriers will invest in the requisite information technology that will enable the forwarders to compete with the integrated carriers. Another tack both forwarders and integrators will likely take is the ex- pansion of their "time,definite" freight service—shipments pegged Fa,.3 ( h Package Shipments"" Continue Rapid Geowtii�` Number of shipments {millions) low t n ym k! 8p0 - .. o gni � o Ixrree P k g P kagxi � p le e4 Reig t w_ 4 ; 260 Ip i49tlX194( `,{i2 i*at9931"`18fM{Ai 1996�'y'tag. «t lis�w.ts i r�vks°r"`°.Jas��edufwF`la9w�w.

"Not every shipment has to get there in minimum time,' says Campbell. "With the mcreasmg use of JIT ust m -time) in pro- uction and distnbu- tion systems, the key ... is time- defi-nite shipments. When a customer says I'll take the lower rate for four-day service, it has to be there on the fourth day." Time -definite deliv- eries, of course, will be priced according to the shipment's ur- gency. The forwarders can be expected to stake out the third - and fourlh-day service segment as their terri- tory, offering shippers lower prices in ex- change for deferred service. The express carriers will be left to battle one another over the premium overnight -delivery market, although at least one consultant expects Fed- eral Express to maintain its edge here. In fact, air consultant Andy Johnson of the Commercial Studies Institute in Burlingame, Calif. pre- dicts that next year, Federal Express will change its overnight delivery time from 10 a.m, to 9:30 a.m. In doing so, Federal will offer a service that its rivals can't match timewise and be able to ask a premium price for the service. (Federal Express, by the way, refused to comment on Johnson's speculation.) In addition to the time -definite deliveries, shippers can expect for- warders, carriers, and the integrators to emphasize value-added and con- tract logistics services, such as pick- ing and packing orders. In this area, Federal Express took an early lead when it began its PartsBank pro- gram in 1984, storing medical, com- puter, and electronic parts requiring urgent delivery in a warehouse adju- cent to its airfield. Since then, Em- ery, Airborne, American Airlines, and forwarder Associated Air Freight Inc.—to name but a few— have all launched critical -parts ship- ping programs. These extra services notwiih- standing, Johnson believes that prices For airfreight services will fall throughout the decade because the number of used aircraft in the mar- ket will create excess capacity. "It's rough and tumble out there," he says. "Prices are going down while capacity is going up." Despite his forecast of low prices, the consultant WHITE PAPER REPORT when they realized that their reli- ance on commercial airlines put them at a severe disadvantage in the same-day and overnight delivery market. "The forwarders have been somewhat left behind domestically in the United Slates in their ability to compete with overnight services and early morning deliveries," says Brian Campbell, a consultant in the aviation consulting firm of Leeper, Cambridge and Campbell Inc. in Al- exandria, Va. "Their market niche is deferred freight." Yet if the forwarders are to suc- ceed here, they will have to build closer ties with the combination car- riers. In particular, they will have to develop the ability to exchange up-to-the-minute shipment informa- tion, a technology shippers have come to expect from the integrated carriers. At least one airline has taken preliminary steps in that di- rection. American Airlines has be- gun investing in the technology to bar code each shipment it handles and thus provide tracking capabili- ties. "Automation is the key," says American Airlines Cargo Division President William R. Boesch. Over the next five years, he predicts, the combination carriers will invest in the requisite information technology that will enable the forwarders to compete with the integrated carriers.

Despite forecast of low prices, the consul Vogl WRITE PAPER REPORT believes that competition will force the integrators, carriers, and for- warders to offer shippers a complete air service package. "The trend for this decade will be on the control of information and service," he says. Unfriendly Skies The challenges facing the aircargo industry are not limited to market- place forces like excess capacity and cutthroat competition, however. One very real problem confronting every plaver is the prospect of crowded skies. Although the number of aircraft in operation has in- creased since deregulation, only one major new airport is scheduled for construction (in Denver). In fact. the air-traffic system is so jammed that the nation's 20 major airports experienced more {hon 20.000 hours of annual flight delays last year, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. "Airport access and space is at a premium these days," says consult- ant Zubrod, "and airport congestion will get worse." Because passenger carriers also are competing for ac- cess to airfields in population cen- ters, Zubrod believes regional mr- ports may become the primary mr- cargo centers. The government is unlikely to in- tervene in the capacity problem soon. "Government doesn't get in- volved until things are disastrous," says Steve Benjamin, formerly a vice president at Burlington Air Express and now a consultant. "I don't see them taking a leadership role," Another problem stems from the noise -abatement programs being in- stituted at many of the nations air- ports. Last year, the federal govern- ment established a nationwide phase-out for noisier aircraft, but grandfathered local ordinances re- stricting aviation noise. Despite the federal policy, air cat riers worry that if they buy quieter airplanes, local authorities will only enact tougher restrictions on the use of airfields at night. "The biggest issue the gov- ernment needs to (address) is the noise issue," says Benjamin, '"fhe bottom fine is you can t have a na- tional network of airports and have each airport making decisions as to what it will permit or not permit" The Song Remains the Same Although local noise ordinances 42fMFM WMQEMEM • AI1GUar 1991 t2 to or limited airport capacity could pose constraints on the air indus- try's growth, the aircargo story for the '90s will basically be a repeat of the '80s. Namely, the key players will continue to be the integrated carriers, which will dominate the (IS. market especially where over, night package delivery is concerned, Certainly, all indications are that the overnight -package market seg - Shippers can expect airfreight prices to fail throughout the decade because of excess aircraft capacity. ment will continue its explosive growth. Theodore R. Schenck, presi- dent of the Colography Group, fore- casts the number of ovemigbt pack- ages will rise from 163 million in 1990 to 379 million by 1995—an increase of 131 percent. By compari- son, overnight heavy freight ship- ments will increase from 13 million to 17 million in five years --a mere 31 percent. The same trends hold true for deferred air shipments. Scherck expects deferred package shipments to increase from 163 mil- lion in 1990 to 355 million by 993 .-1994 1995 �n,"a caoRyW nw,a' � y dropping per the of 7995. 1995--a 117 -percent rise. Deferred heavyweight shipments. on the other hand, will grow only 50 percent, in- creasing from 21 million in 1990 to 31 million in 1995 (see Figure 3). In addition, Schrock believes that the average shipment weight will continue to drop. In 1986, the aver- age air shipment weighed 18 pounds. By 1995, the average air shipment will weigh only 10.8 pounds (see Figure 4). "Phe declin- ing air -shipment weight is the result of higher -value, lower -weighted goods being shipped," he explains, Although growth prospects for ex- press shipments clearly outweigh those for heavy freight, it would be premature to say that the forwarders are down for the count. Along with their partners the combination earn- ers, they will continue their push to corner the specialty -service markets. "The market's becoming special- ized," confirms Tony Robertson, a transportation analyst at the invest- ment firm of Alex. Brown & Sons Inc. in Baltimore. "Shippers are finding a wider and wider choice of options and are becoming more so- phisticated about their options." But as noted above, service won't be the only factor emphasized by the integrators, carriers, and Forwarders. With so many operators vying for their business, shippers can look for- ward to continued competitive pric- ing for air cargo in the decade ahead. If the '80s represented the era of the integrator, the '90s could well be the era of the airfreight shipper. TM �F '°'•'111 -YN nyING AMINUTEMEN x Y OF WORLD F r.

Interstate 55, which runs north and south, is slightly east of the airport and provides access to the airport. DESIGN AND LAYOUT CGI has two hard surface runways; runway 10/28 handles approximately 97% of all arriving and departing aircraft, is 6,500' x 150' concrete with grooved surface at the intersections. Runway 2/20 is 4,000' x 100' and is half concrete and half asphalt. Runway 10/28 is marked in a precision approach format while 2/20 is marked as non -precision approach. Runway 10/28 has a weight limit of 215,000 lb. dual tandum wheel and runway 2/20 has a weight limit of 100,000 lb. of dual tandum wheel. Fuel: Independent 100LL, jet Lights: Beacon dusk to dawn Approach: ILS, LOC/DME, BC, VOR, NOB NAVIGATIONAL AIDS Navigational Aids (NAVAIDS) include any visual or electronic devices, either airborne or on the ground, which provide point-to-point guidance information or position data to aircraft in flight. Various types of navaids are in use at Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport. Runway 10 serves as the precision instrument runway and is equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS), a High Intensity Runway Lighting System (HIRL), a Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (14ALSR), and precision runway markings. An ILS provides an approach path for exact alignment and descent of an aircraft on final approach to a runway. This precision instrument approach provides an electronic glide slope set for a standard three -degree descent to land on Runway 10 and can be used if the ceiling is 200 feet or above and visibility is 1/2 mile or greater. The Tanzi Intersection, which is the crossway of the ILS Course and the 140 degree radial of the Farmington VHF Omnirange VOR facility identifies the final approach fix. Tanzi is located approximately 16.6 nautical miles from the airport. This is an essential element of the instrument approach to Runway 10. Runway 10 also serves as a non -precision runway with a Non Directional Beacon (NDB) approach and a VOR approach. Navigational Aids (continued) The VOR is located on the field between Runways 10 and 20 and allows for \. non -precision instrument approaches to Runways 10, 02, and 20. Runway 10 serves as a non -precision instrument runway. It is equipped with a Localizer/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), Backcourse approach, Omnidirectional Approach Lighting System (ODALS), a four bar Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI), precision runway markings, and HIRL. Runway 02 serves as a non -precision instrument runway. It is equipped with a VOR approach, Medium Intensity Runway Lighting (MIRL), a four bar VASI, and basic runway markings. Runway 20 serves as a non -precision instrument runway. It is equipped with a VOR approach, MIRL, a four bar VASI, and basic runway markings. AIRSPACE STRUCTURE Flights into Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport are conducted using both Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), and Visual Flight Rules (VFR). All of these flights are controlled by an operating Air Traffic Control Tower. A unicorn radio frequency of 122.95 is also available at the airport. All runways have standard left hand traffic patterns. The Victor Airways, which are generated by VOR stations, provide air navigation orientation to pilots. Victor airways are eight miles wide and known as "highways in the sky". The Victor Airways which surround CGI are V125, V313, V429 and V178. The Memphis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) is responsible for enroute control of all aircraft operating on IFR flight plans in the Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport area. Southern Illinois Airport, Williamson County Regional Airport and Barkley Regional Airport are the closest commercial service airports to CGI. DISTANCE TO MAJOR HUBS Cape Girardeau is centrally located making for quick access to many major hubs such as: St. Louis, Chicago, Nashville, Kansas City, Dallas, Atlanta, Detroit, and Minneapolis. All of these hubs are just a few flying hours from Cape Girardeau. AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS A master plan for improvements to the CGI was completed in 1990 and recommended development through a 20 -year planning period. Some of the areas marked for improvement were a new terminal building, planned improvements, and expansions of the airport. The Airport Advisory Board is now awaiting FAA approval on plans for a new terminal building. All improvements to be made to the Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport will promote business locations and population growth.

Cape Girardeau is centrally located at the geographic center of the United States with accessibility to four other states within a 100 mile radius. Ten states are located within a 300 mile radius and 23 states are within a 500 mile range of Cape Girardeau. Air transportation is provided to Cape Girardeau by Trans World Express with direct flights into the Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport. Services include passenger, mail and air cargo services. The City of Cape Girardeau has a varied transportation network. The city is the largest between St. Louis and Memphis, located 115 miles south and 160 miles north respectively. Accessibility to these metropolitan areas is provided by Interstate 55. The proposed "Interstate 66", an east -west interstate, would also serve as a major connecting link to Cape Girardeau. Other connecting highways to Cape Girardeau are U.S. 61, Missouri 74 and 177, and Illinois 3 and 146. The Cape Girardeau bridge, crossing the Mississippi River, also provides access into Illinois. A new bridge is on the agenda for construction within the next few years. Railway connections exist between St. Louis and Memphis with the Burlington -Northern and Missouri -Pacific railroads serving Cape Girardeau. Daily service and piggy -back service is available. A third railroad, Union -Pacific, serves the Southeast Missouri Regional Port Authority. Rail access to the port is under construction near dockside. Plans are also underway to extend Nash Road (Highway AB) into the Port Authority site. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, rail transportation in Missouri is extremely stable, ranking tenth across the nation in proportion to track, annually averaging more than five million tons of traffic per mile. In addition to various transportation by land, Cape Girardeau is also accessible by water. The Mississippi River on the east side of the city provides water transportation year-round. Cape Girardeau also has the distinction of being the only non-government dry dock site between St. Louis and Greenville, Mississippi. The Southeast Missouri Regional Port Authority is considered to be the northern -most, ice -free port on the Mississippi river. This enables the port area to be a major distribution point for petroleum, grain and cement. The port is located within four miles of the Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport. International links are established with BioKyowa, Inc., Tri -Con Industries, Ltd., both Japanese investments; M & W Packaging U.S., Inc., and Saueressig, Inc., both German investments. BioKyowa, Inc., a manufacturer of L -lysine, a feed additive for animal consumption, recently completed a multi-million dollar expansion currently producing over 13,000 tons per year. Tri -Con Industries, Ltd., produces seat covers for the Dodge mini van. M & W Packaging U.S., Inc. manufactures plastic bags for the Procter and Gamble diaper product and Saueressig, Inc. is the printing industry which compliments M & W. Together these international employers employ over 850 workers. Southeast Missouri's central location and the development of the Southeast Missouri Regional Port Authority has contributed significantly to the location and expansion of these companies. Ten counties within a 40 -mile radius rely on Cape Girardeau for services. Those services provided to this sizeable geographic market include commercial, medical, and industrial. Educational and cultural opportunities also draw people to Cape Girardeau. 1� POPULATION WITHIN 40 MILE RADIUS Total Population of Missouri Counties Within a 40 Mile Radius Illinois Counties: 179,297 Union Estimated % of 17,619 1990 Estimated Missouri County Population 1990 Population Within Counties Within 40 Miles Population 40 Miles Jackson Cape Girardeau 100 61,633 61,633 Scott 100 39,376 39,376 Perry 100 16,648 16,648 Bollinger 100 10,619 10,619 Mississippi 90 14,442 12,998 Stoddard 75 28,895 21,671 Madison 5o 11,127 5,564 New Madrid 15 20,928 5,232 Wayne 10 11,543 2,309 Ste.
