The standard specifications contained in this advisory circular (AC) relate to materials and methods used for construction on airports. Items covered in this AC include general provisions, earthwork, flexible base courses, rigid base courses, flexible surface courses, rigid pavement, fencing, drainage, turf, and lighting installation.

This advisory circular (AC) sets forth guidelines for operational safety in airports during construction. This AC assists airport operators in complying with Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139, Certification of Airports. For those certificated airports, this AC provides one way, but not the only way, of meeting those requirements. The use of this AC is mandatory for those airport construction projects receiving funds under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Chapters include planning an airfield construction project, construction safety phasing plans (CSPP), and guidelines for writing a CSPP. Included in the appendices are a safety and phasing checklist and a construction project daily safety inspection checklist.

This resource provides a line of communication from airport sponsors to the FAA with development on or around the airport. In administering Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 77, the prime objectives of the FAA are to promote air safety and the efficient use of the navigable airspace. To accomplish this mission, aeronautical studies are conducted based on information provided by proponents on an FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. Registration and a login is required to access the website and is available to any user who registers.

Construction activities can have a variety of impacts on the daily operations of an airport. To address this issue, a working group of the ACI World Safety and Technical Standing Committee developed the Managing Operations During Construction Handbook, which consists of best practices and case studies. The focus of this manual is on construction projects that affect the safety and efficiency of airside operations. The handbook presents a summary of the issues that airport operators should consider in developing management plans for operations during construction works. This handbook is for reference by airport operators, project managers, security agencies, aircraft operators, air navigation service providers, civil aviation authorities, contractors, and local communities. This resource is available from the ACI store for $180 for members and $1,000 for non-members. There is also a short course on the topic available from ACI for $95.

Engineering Brief (EB) 56 discusses the revised acceptance criteria, as contained in Change 10 to Advisory 150/5370-10A, issued March 11, 1998. The brief provides the engineering and statistical analysis used to revise the acceptable quality level, the rejectable quality level, and the specification tolerance limits.

ACRP Report 101 helps airports, tenants, and contractors identify best practices for a myriad of airport activities through (1) a best practices database; (2) training tools, aids, and checklists; and (3) a 45-minute video that is a useful resource for introducing new employees, tenants, or contractors to the airport environment. The video, "Staying Safe on the Airfield," follows an airport operations supervisor training a new employee by discussing hazards and the appropriate best practices for eliminating or mitigating risks while working in or near the airport movement area. The database; training tools, aids, and checklists (also referred to as templates); and video are in an electronic format on the associated CRP-CD-150.

ACRP Report 42 explores a set of best practices, methods, procedures, and materials that may have a sustainable and positive economic, operational, environmental, or social effect if implemented during construction. The report includes the collection of sustainable airport construction practices in a searchable, filterable spreadsheet format provided on a CD-ROM, which is packaged with the report.

This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance for developing and managing an airport foreign object debris (FOD) program. In addition, this AC provides specifications for the equipment used in FOD removal operations.

This advisory circular (AC) provides information on the planning and oversight of construction projects at airports accomplished under the FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP).

This standard operating procedure (SOP) establishes uniform procedures for the FAA Office of Airports (ARP) that address receiving, evaluating, processing, approving/disapproving and archiving construction safety and phasing plans (CSPPs) for construction projects within the airport operations area (AOA).

This standard operating procedure (SOP) establishes uniform procedures for the closure of Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants for the Office of Airports (ARP) in a manner compliant with applicable ARP orders and federal financial requirements.

The purpose of this standard operating procedure (SOP) is to establish uniform procedures for the FAA Office of Airports (ARP) that address reviewing and approving change orders for airport construction projects.

This standard operating procedure (SOP) establishes uniform procedures for the FAA Office of Airports (ARP) personnel responsible for maintaining the airport and runway database and for processing and/or responding to various notices received by the FAA. The FAA coordinates these notices through the Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) system as a non-rule making airport (NRA), non-rule (NR), or an obstruction evaluation (OE) study.

This resource provides a checklist for taxiway relabeling projects.
