An excellent starting point when identifying an airport’s role is to use the federal and state planning studies presented in the Understand<\/a> sections Airport Roles According to NPIAS<\/span><\/a>, General Aviation Airports – A National Asset<\/a> and State Airport System Plans<\/a>. The NPIAS<\/span><\/i>, ASSET 1<\/i>, and ASSET 2<\/i> reports provide general descriptions of airport roles based on the determined airport classification as defined by the FAA<\/span>. State airport system plans are unique to each state, and often provide classifications based on state-created criteria that define an airport’s role beyond the FAA<\/span> classification.<\/p>\n By using Appendix A: List of NPIAS<\/span> Airports with 5-Year Forecast Activity and Development Estimate<\/i><\/a> of the most recent NPIAS<\/span><\/a> report, you can begin to define your airport. Appendix A contains a brief explanation of terms and abbreviations used in the report and is followed by a summary of all states, a list of new airports, and finally a table for each state with details for each NPIAS<\/span> airport. In addition to the listings, Appendix B: State and Territory Maps of NPIAS<\/span> Airports<\/i><\/a> is available for a geographical display of NPIAS<\/span> airports. It is available in six parts broken down by groups of states and territories.<\/p>\n By navigating to the appropriate state or territory in the appendices, the user can determine if their airport is listed in the NPIAS<\/span>. This information is useful because it reveals some information about the role of the airport. This information includes:<\/p>\n Does the airport’s NPIAS<\/span> classification match what you expected? Was your airport not included in the NPIAS<\/span>? Find out why and how to change classifications in the Action<\/a> section.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If the NPIAS<\/span> determined that your airport is a nonprimary airport, and therefore has an ‘Asset Role’ listed, you can continue to the ASSET 1<\/i> report (and if needed the ASSET 2<\/i> report) to learn expanded details about the airport and its various roles. By navigating to the FAA<\/span>’s General Aviation Airports Reports<\/a> and locating 2012 ASSET Appendix B – Airport Listings<\/i>, you may find your airport defined in one of the four ASSET roles. Find your airport in the section titled Appendix B-2: List of General Aviation Airports in the Four New Categories<\/i>. You can locate your state and your airport in the tables to retrieve the information regarding your airport’s ASSET classification. The information is similar to the NPIAS<\/span> and lists the city, airport name, Location ID (unique airport identifier), ownership (public\/private\/military), service level (GA<\/span>, reliever, and commercial service), and ASSET category (national, regional, local, or basic). If your airport was listed in the NPIAS<\/span> as unclassified, your airport is likely listed in the Appendix B-3: List of General Aviation Airports Not Classified<\/i> section of the ASSET 1<\/i> report. <\/p>\n For airports originally in the unclassified category, you may use the ASSET 2 report section and navigate to Appendix 3: Airport Disposition by State<\/i> on the General Aviation Airports Reports<\/a> page. This table shows the disposition of the unclassified airports. Some airports were moved into one of the four ASSET categories (national, regional, local, or basic), while some airports remained unclassified.<\/p>\n Learn more about the role of your airport by using the links provided in the Resources<\/a> tab in this section. The planning studies presented provide detailed information about the categories identified in the NPIAS<\/span> and ASSET<\/i> reports. In general, the activity levels of the four types of airports identified in the ASSET<\/i> reports are as follows:<\/p>\n Because each state conducts their own system plan for the airports within the individual states, there is no standard method for identifying airport roles and classification in each state’s plan. Typically, state plans have self-developed classifications and criteria, and this information can be gathered in the data collection process.
