PURPOSE OF REQUEST <br /> The requested time extension is not for the lack of performance but an <br /> extension of the permit life. <br /> The applicant intends to maintain the operation of an existing heliport <br /> and its related facilities. <br /> The current permit limits heliport operations at the property to a maximum <br /> of 40 landings per day during daylight hours, excluding emergency <br /> landings for emergency helicopter support. <br /> The granting of a time extension will help amortize the cost of the <br /> proposed 3,500-square feet hangar improvement. The hangar will enable <br /> more efficient repair and maintenance of the helicopters. <br /> Currently, repair and maintenance work are taking place in Hilo, whic <br /> requires additional flight time and fuel. <br /> The estimated cost for the construction of the proposed hangar is <br /> between $3.5 and $4 million. The licensee expects the new hangar to be <br /> completed within 5 years. <br />
