General aviation airports designed to accommodate smaller single and twin engine aircraft.

Basic Utility Airports

General Aviation Airports Airports serving less than 2500 annual enplaned passengers

General Aviation Airports Airports

Those general aviation airports that accommodate larger aircraft.

General Utility Airports

These are the further classification of primary airports.

Hub Classifications

Hub Classifications used by the FAA

1. Large Hub Primary 2. Small Hub Primary 3. Nonhub Primary

These are the airports that account for at least 1 percent of the total annual passenger enplanements in the United States.

Large Hub Airports

These are the airports that account for at least 0.25 but less than 1 percent of the total annual passenger enplanements in the United States.

Medium Hub Airports

These are the airports that account for at least 0.05 but less than 0.25 percent of the total annual passenger enplanements in the United State

Small Hub Airports

These are the airports that account less than 0.05 but least 10,000 annual enplaned passengers.

Nonhubs Airports

These are airports that are not currently serving regular commercial service but have been designated by the FAA as general aviation-type airports that provide relief.

Reliever Airport

The airport must have at least 100 aircraft based at the field or handle at least 25,000 itinerant operations annually.

Reliever Airport

Airports are typically given "reliever" status if they are located within?

An SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area) of population of at least 5,000,000 or where passenger enplanements exceed 50,000 annually

The Principal Provisions of Air Commerce Act of 1926:

1. All aircraft owned by United States citizens operating in common carrier service or in connection with any business must be registered. 2. All aircraft must be certificated and operated by certified airmen. 3. Authority was given to the Secretary of Commerce to establish air traffic rules. 4. The Secretary of Commerce was authorized to establish, operate and maintain lighted civil airways.

The failure of Air Commerce Act of 1926 to provide adequate economic control led to wasteful and destructive competitive practices The carriers had little security in their routes and therefore could not attract private investors and develop traffic volumes sufficient to achieve economic stability.

Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 / Public Law 76-706

This led to the enactment of this legislation.

Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 / Public Law 76-706

This act defined in a precise manner the role of the federal government in respect to the economic phases of air transport.

Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 / Public Law 76-706

One independent agency to foster and regulate air transport in lieu of the three agencies operating under the Air Commerce Act.

Civil Aeronautics Authority

consists of a five-member authority, three-member air safety board, and an administrator.

Civil Aeronautics Authority

An independent body for the investigation of accidents.

Safety board

It dealt primarily with construction, operation, and maintenance of airways.

Administrator

The interest in adequate airport facilities by various political subdivisions of government continued. The needs were made known to Congress by various interests.

Federal Airport Act of 1946

As a result, the House of Representatives passed a resolution (H.R. 598, 78th Congress directing the CAA to make a survey of "need for a system of airports and landing areas throughout the United States" and report back to Congress.

Federal Airport Act of 1946

The first peacetime program of financial aid aimed exclusively at promoting development of the nation's civil airports.

Federal-Aid Airport Program

President Harry Truman

Transferred the Civil Aeronautics Authority's function to a new independent Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) responsible for aviation safety on August 23. 1958.

Federal Aviation Act of 1958

This created the trust fund to provide a dedicated source of funding for the U.S. aviation system, independent of the General Fund.

Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 / Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970 / Public Law 91-258

This act continued to provide funding for airport planning and development under a single program, AIP.

The Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 / Public Law 97-248

The act also authorized funding for noise compatibility programs contained in the Noise Abatement Act of 1979.

The Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 / Public Law 97-248

The single program for airport planning and development.

Airport Improvement Program (AIP)

A program that provides grants to plan and develop private-use airports.

Airport Improvement Program (AIP)

This program is administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and provides improvement-grants to public use airports.

Airport Improvement Program (AIP)

The Aviation Safety and Capacity Act of 1990 This act established the policy of allowing airports to impose a passenger facility charge (PFC) to supplement their capital improvement programs, while allowing greater amounts of AIP funding to be allocated to smaller airports with capital improvement needs Under this Act, an airport applied to collect a 1, 2, or 3 charge, on any passenger enplaning at the airport.

The Aviation Safety and Capacity Act of 1990

In April 2000 funding for airport planning and design through the AIP and PFC programs was increased with the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the Twenty First Century known as AIR-21.

AIR-21: The Wendell Ford Aviation Investment Act for the 21st Century / Public Law 106-181

This funding increase was designed to assist larger airports which have become highly congested, as well as smaller airports struggling to preserve commercial air service.

AIR-21: The Wendell Ford Aviation Investment Act for the 21st Century / Public Law 106-181

This is created to oversee security in all modes of transportation.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

focused funding on creating the Next Generation Air Traffic Management System to replace nearly 50 year old air traffic control technology.

NextGen Financing Reform Act of 2007 / FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009

was ultimately discarded with the new presidential administration in 2009.

NextGen Financing Reform Act of 2007 / FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009

In March 2009, a new reauthorization bill, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009 was introduced as H.R. 915.

NextGen Financing Reform Act of 2007 / FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009
