The close proximity of airports and air navigation facilities to certain ground facilities have been perceived to be a serious hazard to the public because of the activities or the large number of people associated with that facility. Examples of aviation threats to ground facilities are the collocation of several large commercial shopping malls near the approach and departure routes of nearby airports. Although the possibility of an aircraft crashing and hitting a particular building or facility may be quite small, the results are perceived to be serious enough to warrant additional attention. A previous paper described how the risk due to aviation traffic near ground facilities has been determined in the past, and how this risk determination could be improved by focusing on the actual traffic patterns near the facility under scrutiny. This paper will extend the concepts presented in the previous paper by the application of these concepts to a limited example situation. The airport chosen for this example application is the Salt Lake City International Airport-located near Salt Lake City, Utah. This situation will be analyzed through the use of a category of computer software called a Geographical Information System or G.I.S. Among the features of a G.I.S. that lends itself to the evaluation of risks is its ability to manage large amounts of information through the use of its database manager. Because aircraft crashes, even those involving general aviation, are relatively uncommon events, a probabilistic risk analysis must be accomplished in order to develop realistic risk estimates without undue conservatism included. This paper will describe the data required to calculate the aircraft risk to ground facilities, where that data can be obtained, and how it can be organized and modified for use by a G.I.S.
