Dean Memorial Airport AVIATION FACILITIES Dean Memorial Airport (5B9) is a publicly-owned, public-use general aviation airport in the Mount Washington region of New Hampshire (NH). It is classified as a Local airport within the New Hampshire State Airport System Plan (NHSASP). Located three miles northeast of Haverhill, the airport occupies approximately 48 acres. There is one paved runway at 5B9, Runway 1-19, which measures approximately 2,511’ in length. Runway 1-19 has no parallel taxiway, requiring aircraft to back-taxi. The airport offers a non- precision instrument approach to its runway. AVIATION SERVICES The airport does not offer any aircraft services, but Aircraft Storage does sell AvGas. The airport has 4 T-hangars, 3 Self-Serve AvGas conventional hangars, and 8 tie-downs available for aircraft parking and storage. A significant share of aircraft operations at 5B9 is generated by aircraft that are based on the airfield, although there is some itinerant activity.

NEW HAMPSHIRE AIRPORT STATE SYSTEM PLAN Comprised of 3 commercial service and 22 public-use general aviation airports, the NH airport system consists of 25 facilities that serve the air transportation needs of over 1.3 million NH residents, business users, leisure travelers, and the military. The system is an important contributor to state and local economies, supporting thousands of jobs and generating millions of dollars in state tax revenue. The NHSASP provides a guide to maintain and develop the system of airports in NH. Maintaining and improving airport infrastructure and facilities will allow NH to continue to meet future aviation demand and support its communities. However, as market demands and socioeconomic conditions vary for every airport, facility and service needs will also differ. The key components of the system plan and airport-specific improvements are summarized in this brochure. AVIATION’S ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO NEW HAMPSHIRE The total economic contribution of aviation in NH is measured by both the state airport system (NHSAS) and aviation-related manufacturing. These components contributed an estimated 12,954 jobs and $2.16 billion in revenues for NH businesses, and approximately $32.19 million in state tax revenue. In addition to economic benefits, the Overview Economic Contribution to NH NHSAS provides numerous critical Total Employment Total Output Total Tax Revenue services and qualitative impacts NH State Airports 9,283 $1.16 billion $27.96 million that enhance the quality of life for those who live and work in NH, Aviation Related 3,671 $1 billion $4.23 million including medical transportation and TOTAL IMPACT 12,954 $2.16 billion $32.19 million evacuation in rural areas, search and rescue operations, wildlife management, law enforcement flights, military exercises, and flight training. ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF 5B9 AIRPORT: The system plan quantifies the total economic impact of each airport in NH. Using a comprehensive survey process, both the direct economic benefits related to on-airport business and tenants, as well as the indirect benefits associated with off-airport visitor-related expenditures, were determined for each system airport. The multiplier effect of these benefits was then computed to gauge the total airport-related impacts. Thus, the total economic impact of 5B9 is the sum of all direct, indirect, and multiplier impacts. This economic analysis demonstrates that airports and aviation-related businesses support thousands of jobs and pump billions of dollars into the state economy.
