Assessments Airport Compliance



AIP Federal-aid Airport SystemNational Plan of an Integrated Airport System (NPIAS)

The NPIAS identifies, for Congress and the public, the composition of a national system of airports together with the airport development and costs necessary that will be needed over the next 10 years

How is an Airport Project defined?

One ODO for single or multi-phase project

Runway extension (ODO) may include: • Environmental Assessment• Project Design• Land Acquisition (Concurrent/Prior)• Relocating NAVAIDS• Parallel Taxiway• Hold Apron• Construction of Extension• Lighting, Marking, Signage, etc• Commissioned

• Includes all necessary components & tasks to provide required functional utility, satisfying the Overall Development Objective (ODO)



2010 Program Issues / Expectations

•FAA NextGen Initiatives – Investing billions in system improvements thru 2018. Transforms ATC to Satellite Based System. Develops High Density Airports.

http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/nextgen/

• Green Infrastructure Policy – Will affect FAA eligible cost guidance

• Decrease in commercial air traffic due to economy – less local airport revenues – Projects Delayed.

• Lack of Reauthorization. Slowing needed changes for program funding improvements.

• Noise Compatibility Projects – Contraction of Noise Exposure affects mitigation projects.

• Noise Land Disposal – FAA completing review of plans. Standard operating procedures needed.

Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)

Legal Research

ACRP 11-01, Study Topic 2-01, “Obstructions Affecting Navigable Airspace/ the Implications of not Declaring Structures to be Hazardous Obstructions Affecting Navigable Airspace/TERPS” How airspace restrictions maybe enforced on property underlying airport approaches or effecting airport use.

ACRP 11-01, Study Topic 2-02, Use and Success of Avigation Easements and Other Tools for Airport Compatible Land Use and Development of Model Language . Research on easement terms and conditions and relationship to appraisal of FMV for easement acquisition.
