Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) Program

Commencement: June 2015 FAA’s Goal: To reduce runway incursions at

airports and help protect the traveling public. Inventory Data: Data from 2007-2013 Locations where 3+ runway incursions occurred in a

single year or More than 6 runway incursions occurred during the 6

year period.


DMA ADO Airport Investments FY16


National Priority Rating (NPR) • Sponsors use FAA Order 5100.38D, Airport Improvement

Program (AIP)Handbook to determine if a project can be considered by the ADO for AIP Funding.

• The Airport Capital Improvement Plan Order (5100.39A) serves as the primary planning tool for systematically identifying, prioritizing, and assigning funds to critical airport development and associated capital needs for the NAS.

• The FAA uses a numerical system as one tool for prioritizing

development. The numerical system uses numbers between 0 and 100 with 100 being projects most in line with Agency Goals.


National Priority Rating (Cont.)

• National Priority System Equation NPR = (k5*P)[(k1*A)+(k2*P)+(k3*C)+(k4*T)]

• Airport Code – Role & Size • Purpose, Component & Type of Work • External factors beyond a numerical rating include

State & local priorities, environmental issues, impact on safety & performance, airport growth and other factors…..


National Priority Rating (Cont.)

• Examples of FY16 NPR’s for Great Lakes Region – Acquire ARFF Equipment – 95 – Rehabilitate Runway - 66 to 72 – Rehabilitate Taxiway - 62 to 68 – Update Airport Master Plan – 66 – Construct Runway – 49 to 64 – Extend Runway – 47 to 54 – Construct Taxiway – 47 to 50 – Expand/Modify/Rehabilitate Apron – 42 to 60 – Modify Terminal Building - 35


Obstruction Removal – AIP Funding and NPR

• Obstruction removal is eligible for AIP grant funding as prescribed in FAA Order 5100.38D, AIP Handbook

• In FY17, new work codes have been created to acknowledge the high priority of non-hazard obstruction removal in the approach or departure surfaces

• Priority ranking for obstruction removal in the approach/

departure surface are increased from a range of 44-49 up to 76-82 allowing it to better compete for discretionary funding
