Module 2 - Airport Planning, ALP and NPIAS. Flashcards
NPIAS acronym
National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems
AIP acronym
Airport Improvement Plan
provides the federal government perspective on the role of each public-use airport in the national air transportation system.
National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems
provides more detailed guidance on how the airports within the state can be developed to better meet the aviation needs of the state
State aviation system plans
are more specific in detail and narrower in focus than a state or regional plan and often take into account airport capacity, intermodal access, and the type of traveler within the community.
Metropolitan (or Regional) aviation system plans
An airport generally consists of three primary areas:
landside, terminal, and airside
area consists of intermodal and ground access areas, such as ingress and egress routes to the terminal building, parking garages, rental car facilities, public transportation, and other airport support areas.
landside
includes the runways, taxiways, and aircraft parking areas within the perimeter fence.
Airside
requires that the Airport Sponsor keep the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) updated at all times
Grant Assurance #29 Airport Layout Plan
Standards for ALPs can be found in
Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans
The ____ is a graphical representation of the existing and proposed airport land, terminal, and other facilities and structures owned by the airport, protection zones, and approach areas.
ALP
A standard ALP typically includes a narrative, and the following sketches:
(1) Cover Sheet
(2) The Airport Layout Drawing (known as the ALP sheet or the ALP drawing sheet)
(3) The Airport Airspace Drawing
(4) The Inner Portion of the Approach Surface Drawing
(5) The Terminal Area Drawing (or Plan)
(6) The Land Use Drawing
(7) The Runway Departure Surfaces Drawing
(8) The Airport Property Map
True or False?
The ALP is approved and signed by the FAA?
True
FAA Order__________, _______________ provides supplemental guidance for the preparation of an ALP.
FAA Order 5100.38, Airport Improvement Program Handbook
The five primary functions of the ALP are:
- It is an FAA-approved plan necessary for the airport to receive AIP funding and to continue to receive PFC funding;
- It is a blueprint for airport development;
- It is a public document that serves as a record of aeronautical requirements and is available for community reference;
- It enables the FAA and the Airport Sponsor to plan for improvements;
- It is a working tool for airport staff including operations and maintenance personnel.
FAR Part ___, ________________________ requires airport owners and operators to notify the FAA 30 days in advance of any construction, alteration, deactivation, or changes in use of any airport.
FAR Part 157, Notice of Construction, Alteration, Activation and Deactivation of Airports
Notification of construction or alteration on an airport is provided on
FAA Standard Form SF-7460-1—Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration.
Notification of the activation or alteration of a landing area is provided on
FAA Standard Form SF-7480-1—Notice of Landing Area Proposal.
For a new airport site or location, the initial investigation is the responsibility of the
Airport Sponsor, not the FAA.
ALPs should be reviewed and validated at least every
two to seven years, depending on the size of the airport
