This advisory circular (AC) establishes a common, uniform definition of critical aircraft for all deliberations of the FAA Office of Airports, inclusive of planning and environmental, design and engineering, and financial decision-making regarding airport development.

ACRP Research Report 192 is designed to assist airports that are considering self-providing fueling services or currently providing them directly to their customers. The report includes a methodology to help evaluate whether an airport should or should not provide fuel service, a checklist of action items required for providing fuel service, and a sample request for proposals to solicit bids from fuel suppliers. The report also addresses a wide range of topics, including feasibility evaluations for new or improved fueling facilities, fuel pricing and marketing strategies, and organizational considerations when starting or expanding a fueling service.

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 guidance for noise control and compatibility planning for airports under Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150 and the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (ASNA) (P.L. 96-193). It is intended for use by airport operators, state and local planners and other officials, and interested citizens who may engage in noise control planning.

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 advisory circular (AC) provides guidance to the airport operator in the development and implementation of an airport emergency plan (AEP). The AEP addresses essential emergency-related and deliberate actions planned to ensure the safety of and emergency services for the airport populace and the community in which the airport is located.

For certificated airports, this advisory circular (AC) defines the minimum acceptable standards for the conduct and preparation of wildlife hazard site visits, assessments, and management plans. This AC provides guidelines that discuss whether a site visit can be conducted or whether an assessment must be conducted under Part 139. In the case of airports that are not Part 139 certificated, this AC provides guidelines as to when a site visit or assessment is recommended. The AC further defines and explains continual monitoring programs. This AC also provides checklists to help people evaluate site visits, assessments, and plans.

This advisory circular (AC) and its appendices provide guidance to airport operators about developing training programs for safe ground vehicle operations, personnel taxiing or towing an aircraft, and pedestrian control on the movement and safety areas of an airport. This version represents a major rewrite.

This advisory circular (AC) provides methods acceptable to the administrator for showing compliance with the Airport Certification Manual requirements in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139, Certification of Airports.

This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance to assist airport operators in the procurement of snow and ice control equipment for airport use. The use of this AC is mandatory for all projects funded with federal grant monies through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and/or with revenue from the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program. Equipment addressed include high-speed rotary plows, snow plows, material spreaders, runway brooms and carrier vehicles.

This advisory circular (AC) contains specifications and guidance for the storage, handling, and dispensing of aviation fuel on airports. It also provides standards and guidance for the training of personnel who conduct these activities.
