5 Inner Portion of Approach Drawing-profile view of runway approaches and
obstructions and surfaces associated with the Terminal Instrment Procedures
(TERPS)
6
Terminal Area Drawing-and plan depicting terminal and surrounding facilities and
heights. lighting and obstructions, also highway routes to and from airport and main
business district
7 Land Use Drawing-on Airport and off airport depicting existing and recommended
use of all land with property line to at least the 65 DNL noise contours
8 Runway Departure Surfaces Drawing-depicts available departure surfaces
9 Airport Property Map-how tracts were acquired and easements, termed EXHIBIT A
on AIP grant applications
10 Data sheet-airport and runway data tables and wind rose(diagram showing
percentage of time wind blows from a direction and speed)
11. Facilities layout-exisisting and future facilities
12 Utilities drawing-location and capacity of utilities
13 Airport access plan-major routes and modes of transportation that serve airport
ALP is signed by FAA making it a legal document,
drawings typically done with computer design software that link features on map with
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), FAA uses eALP which allows sharing ALP
data
5 Primary Functions of ALP - Answer 1 FAA approved plan required to receive AIP
and PFC funding
2 blueprint for airport development
,AAAE CM Module 2(Answered)2023
3 public document that serves as a record of aeronautical requirements
4 enables FAA and Sponsor to plan for future improvements
5 working tool for staff,
Notice of Propsed Construction or Alteration-FAA StNdard Form SF-7460-1 - Answer
notification of construction or alteration has to be given 30 days in advance
Notice of Landing Area Proposal-Form SF-7480-1 - Answer notification of activation
or alteration of a landing area
ALP - Answer ALP should be Reviewed and Vaidated every 2-7 years. Necessary
when existing ALP cannot accommodate forecast needs or meet design standards
Grant Assurance Requirements for ALP - Answer 1 Property lines
2 location and nature of existing and proposed facilities (ie. runways, taxiway,
parking lots)
3 existing and proposed non-aviation areas and improvements (ie. parking lots,
access roads, water retention ponds)
ALP Approval - Answer FAA approves that ALP must be Safe, Useful and Efficient.
ALP must be submitted at Airports District Office (ADO)
Safe - Answer safe operation of aircraft
Useful - Answer make best use of airport land while minimizes impact of offairport
structures
Efficient - Answer planned capacity is sufficient for forecast demand
FAA ALP 3 Levels of Approval - Answer Unconditional (met environmental
processing), Conditional(environmental processing has not been completed for all
items) and Mixed (completed elements can proceed others cannot until approval is
received)
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) - Answer review for environmental
FAAs Airport Data and Information Program - Answer guides sponsors on collection,
submission and management or airpirt data ensuring airport users most current
information-achived through AIRPORT MASTER RECORD
Airport Master Record - Answer describes basic operational and services data of the
airports
Airport Data Record- 5010 Form - Answer Airport operator required to complete
annually, FAA uses to complete aeronautical charts and Airport Facility Directory
(A/FD)
Airport Facility Directory (A/FD) - Answer pilots use as reference (runway lengths,
Airport use, elevation and runway slope)
, AAAE CM Module 2(Answered)2023
Form 7460 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration-Part 157 Requirement -
Answer required whenever there is proposed development
Form 5010 and NOTAMS - Answer Pilits rely on information internet A/FD (provided
on Form 5010). Temporary changes are issued as NOTAMS. NOTAMS can be
cancelled when the information becomes part of the A/FD
Planning Levels - Answer 1 NPIAS
2 Statewide integrated airport systems
3 Regional/metropolitan integrated airport systems
4 Airport Master Plans
Basic Guiding Principle of Planning Process - Answer development of a safe efficient
airport system with uniform design and operational standards
NPIAS Project Categories - Answer 1 Purpose-safety, rehabilitation, capacity,
standards
2 Physical Component-runway, taxiway, apron, equipment acquisition
3 Type of work-construct, expand, improve
Metropolitan (or Regional) Airport System Plan (MASP) & State Aviation System
Planning (SASP) - Answer plan that asses how to integrate within the area, identifies
role of each airport in the area and forecasts proposed future activities
Airport Sysrem Planning 4 elements - Answer 1 system needs identification
2 system-wide development cost estimate
3 studies,surveys and other planning actions to decide which aeronautical needs will
be met.
4 standards prescribed by state for development on non-primary public use airports
Airport Master Plan - Answer primary document for long range planning. sets
direction of development for an.
airport for up to 20 years, includes public involvement, FAA does not require that it
has to be updated at certain time schedule but it is recommended (usually conducted
every 8-15 years) Plans are completely tailored to individual airport, may be
encouraged by ADO to receive funding for AIP projects.
Goal of Master Plan - Answer provide framework for future development that is cost
effective and satisfies the needs of the airport, market and community while
balancing environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Sequenced into Airport Capital
Improvement Plan and eligible for federal funding
Master Plan is intended to produce - Answer 1 technical report-analysis conducted
2 summary report-facts, conclusions and recommendations
3 Updated ALP
4 Webpage-airport information and key elements of master plan
5 Public Information Kit-visual aids, models, brochures to support plan
Acceptance vs. Approval - Answer Accepting-FAA has reviewed the elements of the
plan to ensure sound planning techniques were applied.
