How often should the ALP be reviewed? - ANSWER2-7 years
Grant assurances require airport management to keep the following items up to date. -
ANSWER-Property Lines
-Location and nature of all existing and proposed facilities and structures.
-Location of all existing and proposed non-avitaion areas.
Safe - ANSWERmeets design standards or modified design standards and provides for
safe operation of aircraft
Useful - ANSWERairport is making the best use of airport land while minimizing the
impact of off-airport structures.
Efficient - ANSWERplanned capacity is sufficient for forecast demand
Airport Master Record (FAA 5010) - ANSWERUsed to update the AF/D/Chart
Supplement
NPIAS report identifies: - ANSWERPublic airport included in the NPIAS, their role, and
amount and types of airport development eligible for federal funding under the AIP over
the next 5 years.
****FAA Believes the Airport Should BE**** - ANSWER-Safe and efficient-maintained to
design standards

airspace structure, NAVAIDS, airport-related land use, aeronautical activity, and
socioeconomic factors.
Aviation Demand Forecasts - ANSWERUses a variety of methods to predict future
demand. Prepare for future operations: enplanements, based aircraft, itinerant
operations, etc.
