3) Environmental considerations
4) Existing Conditions
5) Aviation Forecasts
6) Facility Requirements
7) Alternatives to development and evaluation
8) Airport Layout Plan
9) Facilities Implementation Plan
10) Financial Feasibility Analysis
11) Capacity Analysis (bigger airport – congestion ex:PHL)
What components of the Master Plan are approved by the FAA?
Airport Layout Plan
Aviation Forecasts
Other parts are accepted by the FAA
Name 4 Factors affecting Pavement Life
Load
Environment
Was it was constructed (sub –base, ect.
Preventive Maintenance Program
Name the differences in types Pavement:
Concrete More expensive Longer life - 40 years Much higher aircraft loads Better resistance to weather, oil, and fuel spillage
Asphalt Less expensive Shorter life 15-20 years Lower aircraft loads Since a petroleum product – susceptible to oxidation to sun ultraviolet rays, and solvent action of fuel or oil
Explain a Pavement Management System (PMS)
Pavement Management System (PMS)
PMS helps to guide airport management and FAA decisions on the use of federal monies for maintenance. PMS provides a consistent objective and systematic approach for setting priorities and schedules, allocating resources, and budgeting for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation.
Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a numerical rating of the surface condition of a pavement along its entire length and width. A PCI of 100 indicates no defects; while a PCI of zero indicates no useful pavement life exist.
Aircraft Classification Number / Pavement Classification System – ACN/PCN
FAA conducts annual inspections of all Part 139 airports and the results are
ACN-PCN Systems of classification provides a standardized international airplane/pavement rating system replacing the various S (single), D (dual), DT (dual tandem) LCN (load classification number), and other rating systems used throughout the word.
ACN- aircraft classification number
PCN – a corresponding pavement classification number, indicating the maximum pavement bearing for unrestricted aircraft operations
What are the elements that cause degradation to airport asphalt?
Water
Oxidation from the sun’s ultraviolet rays
Solvent action of fuel or oil
What is PART 77
OBJECTIONS AFFECTING NAVIGABLE AIRSPACE
List the FAR Part 77 imaginary surfaces
Primary surface 0 Transitional surfaces 7:1 Approach surfaces Precision 50:1 Non-Precision 34:1 Visual 20:1 Horizontal surfaces 150’ above airport elevation & 5,000’ radius Conical surfaces 200’ height outside of horizontal area at a 20:1 slope
What is the weakness of Part 77?
Part 77 addresses only the requirements for notifying FAA of any proposed alteration or construction. An FAA determination is a conclusion based on a study for the structures projected impact on the safe operation of the navigable airspace by aircraft. The regulations do not provide the FAA with Authority to prevent some from constructing or altering a structure regardless of the study. The authority to prevent construction is reserved for the sates and resides with local regional or municipal zoning authorities.
What is the relationship between Part 77 and FAA Form 7460-1
7460-1 – Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. The notice to provide the FAA of any alteration or construction which may affect Part 77 principal imaginary surfaces is through the FAA Form 7460-1
What is FAR Part 150? ***
FAR Part 150 deals with the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 which is the principal law supporting federal efforts to identify and reduce noise issues involving land use around domestic civil airports
What are the required elements of a Part 150 plan?
Noise Exposure Map (NEM)
Noise Compatibility Plan (NCP)
What can be done to mitigate noise around airports?
Use of takeoff and landing procedures
Implementation of preferential runway use
Construct barriers and acoustical shielding, including the soundproofing of public and residential buildings
Acquire land
Partial curfews
Differential landing fees based time of day annoyance
What is an Avigation Easement
Acquiring rights to fly-over a property – fee paid
List the grant assurances
Grant Assurances are incorporated into and become part of the grant agreement. They address the airport’s responsibilities during the project and establish continuing obligations for a period of 20 years or for the useful life of the facilities developed or the equipment acquired
“Grants Assurances extends federal governmental policies to local governments”
Grant Assurances address the following areas:
- General Federal Requirements
- Responsibility and Authority of the Sponsor
- Sponsor Fund Availability
- Good Title
- Preserving Rights and Powers
- Consistency with Local Plans
- Consideration of Local Interest
- Consultation with Users
- Public Hearings
- Air and Water Quality Standards
- Pavement Preventive Maintenance
- Terminal Development Prerequisites
- Accounting System, Audit, and Record Keeping Requirements
- Minimum Wage Rates
- Veteran’s Preference
- Conformity to Plans and Specifications
- Construction Inspection and Approval
- Planning Projects
- Operation and Maintenance
- Hazard Removal and Mitigation
- Compatible Land Use
- Economic Nondiscrimination
- Exclusive Rights
- Fee and Rental Structure
- Airport Revenues
- Reports and Inspections
- Use by Government Aircraft
- Land for Federal Facilities
- Airport Layout Plan
- Civil Rights
- Disposal of Land
- Engineering and Design Services
- Foreign Market Restrictions
- Policies, Standards, and Specifications
- Relocation and Real Property Acquisition
- Access By Intercity Buses
- Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
- Hangar Construction
- Competitive Access
