FAA eALP Update Data Development; Use Existing or New? Data Sources – Survey Field collection Aerial Imagery & Photogrammetry Scanning – Design CAD Standards – AC 150/ A; Survey Control – AC 150/ B; Aerial Imagery – AC 150/ B; GIS Data Standards

Data

FAA eALP Update Reuse Existing or New Validating existing data is nearly as intensive as collecting new Submittal of data to FAA “AGIS” Verification by NGS

ACs: 150/ A, 17B, 18B

FAA eALP Update What you need to know now 1.Become Familiar with the ACs 2.Determine the Type of Project 3.Determine Project Requirements AC 150/ B, Table Determine Data Sources 5.Collect New Data Survey Aerial 6.Develop Compliant Data 7.Submit to the FAA
