ACRP Research Report 195 is designed to assist airport operators in developing and implementing an obstruction management program to protect the airport airspace from encroachment by tall objects. The report will help airport staff develop an obstruction management plan by understanding the regulatory environment, identifying obstructions, and developing a strategy for communication with surrounding communities that will ensure airport involvement in any development issues that could result in an obstruction around the airport. The report is supplemented by ACRP WebResource 7: Best Practices for Airport Obstruction Management Library, which provides reference documents, model documents, and presentation materials for obstruction management outreach. A methodology for creating a composite map of all applicable airspace surfaces as well as examples of interactive airspace composite surface maps for small and large airports are also provided.

This advisory circular (AC) provides basic information pertaining to the FAA's recommendations on commercial minimum standards and related policies. Although minimum standards are optional, the FAA highly recommends their use and implementation as a means to minimize the potential for violations of federal obligations at federally obligated airports.

This order provides guidelines and identifies responsibilities for FAA acceptance and monitoring of airport sponsor compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) (42 USC 4601 et seq), as amended, on airport projects receiving federal financial assistance. This order incorporates all applicable requirements as provided in the Uniform Act implementing regulation 49 CFR Part 24, Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition for Federal and Federally Assisted Programs (70 FR 590, January 4, 2005, and as may be amended).

ACRP Research Report 184 is the executive summary of ACRP Web-Only Document 44: Understanding FAA Grant Assurance Obligations, Volume 1: Guidebook, and explains each of the 39 grant assurances. The summary includes a matrix that outlines major aspects of the program such as duration and applicability, and provides a list of related assurances. The matrix includes links to specific volumes of the web-only document that discuss each grant assurance in greater detail. Volume 2: Technical Appendices contains supplemental information, Volume 3: Research Report discusses the research effort, and Volume 4: Summary of AIP Grant Assurance Requirements includes a PowerPoint presentation for sharing content with airport manager, planners, and operators.

ACRP Web-Only Document 44, Volume 1, provides a comprehensive summary of all the requirements included in the 39 Grant Assurances applicable to airport sponsors, who are owners or operators of the airport that execute the grant agreements. The web-only document describes the requirements, identifies the actions that are required and those that are prohibited, identifies exceptions, describes the duration and applicability of the requirements, and discusses the potential consequences of non-compliance.

ACRP Web-Only Document 44 provides supplemental information for individuals desiring a more in-depth understanding of the requirements. It may be useful when airport management, staff, or airport users are confronted with a particular issue or a set of circumstances that is not fully addressed in ACRP Research Report 184. The web-only document contains six appendices providing supplemental information on the Grant Assurance requirements, as well as resources and references.

ACRP Web-Only Document 44, Volume 3, summarizes the research efforts and results of the research conducted to develop a guidebook on FAA grant assurance requirements.

ACRP Web-Only Document 44, Volume 4, is a model PowerPoint presentation for sharing content with airport managers, planners, and operators.

This desk reference provides explanatory guidance for environmental impact analysis performed to comply with Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (CEQ Regulations) (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 1500-1508); U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Order 5610.1C, Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts; and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 1050.1F Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures.

This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance for the preparation of master plans for airports that range in size and function, from small general aviation to large commercial service facilities. The intent of this AC is to foster a flexible approach to master planning that directs attention and resources to critical issues. The scope of each master plan must be tailored to the individual airport under evaluation.

This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance for airport sponsors in the selection and engagement of architectural, engineering, and planning consultants. It also discusses services that normally would be included in an airport grant project, types of contracts for these services, contract format and provisions, and guidelines for determining the reasonableness of consultant fees.

ACRP Legal Research Digest 5: Responsibility for Implementation and Enforcement of Airport Land-Use Zoning Restrictions explores federal, state, regional, and local laws and regulations pertaining to aviation land use and zoning. Federal government agencies, states, counties, cities, port authorities, regional governmental authorities, and special taxing districts—all, to some degree, share responsibility with respect to airport-related land. This digest seeks to respond to the need for a comprehensive legal resource of applicable statutory and case law affecting the creation and enforcement of airport use restrictions.

ACRP Report 27, Volume 1, presents a comprehensive account of issues associated with land uses around airports. The report is a comprehensive resource to both airports and local jurisdictions near airports. Volume 1 provides suggestions to help protect airports from incompatible land uses that impair current and future airport and aircraft operations and safety.

ACRP Report 27, Volume 2, presents a comprehensive account of issues associated with land uses around airports. The report is a comprehensive resource for both airports and local jurisdictions near airports. It details 15 case studies that target a wide range of airports and land use issues. The case study sites include large commercial service, military, and general aviation airports and are geographically diverse. The report also offers states and local governments examples and a common basis for establishing zoning that protects public interest and investment in airports.

ACRP Report 16, second edition, is designed to help airport practitioners, owners, operators, managers, and policymakers of small airports, who may have varying degrees of experience and backgrounds, to fulfill their responsibilities in such areas as financial management, oversight of contracts and leases, safety and security, noise impacts, community relations, compliance with federal and state obligations, facility maintenance, and capital improvements. The first edition has been edited and reformatted for currency, relevance, and usability and updated with additional information and new subject areas (e.g., unmanned aircraft systems, geographic information systems, digital notices to airmen, social media, and federal and state obligations). Also, hyperlinks to many of the documents and resources mentioned in this report, such as ACRP publications, industry sources, and sample checklists, have been collected into ACRP WebResource 6: Resources for Managing Small Airports.

This booklet is intended as a guide in the understanding of the issues, rules, procedures, and policies applicable to airport noise and compatible land use planning.

This advisory circular (AC) can be used as additional information to consider when applying Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) parts 150 and 161 at U.S. international airports. The balanced approach applies to any airport served by international air traffic that has a perceived noise problem.
