FAA Advisory Circular 150/5070: Airport Master Planning
Abstract
This Advisory Circular provides guidance for the preparation of airport master plans that range in size and function from small general aviation to large commercial service facilities. Its intent is to foster the development and adoption of a flexible approach to master planning that devotes resources and attention to critical issues. Planners should tailor an individual master plan to the unique conditions at the study airport. As a result, master plans for individual airports will vary in what elements they include and in the level of detail. This publication is intended primarily for use by members of the aviation community, especially those directly involved in preparing master plans: airport sponsors, airport staff, airport consultants, FAA representatives, and state aviation officials. It will also be useful to airport board members; municipal officials; state, regional, and local planning personnel; and the general public.
