4 Federal Aviation Administration Airports GIS Program March 10, 2009 Why is FAA developing eALP?  Currency | all NPIAS airports required to keep their ALPs current (many are outdated)  Versioning | paper copies of ALPs are typically housed in multiple locations and the “latest” version(s) often vary eALP A-GIS  Accuracy | plotted ALPs frequently contain airport information that differs from airports data collected for use in other LOBs and/or other airport projects  NextGen | needs real-time, web-based access of the same (“living” document) version by all stakeholders  Diligence | efficient use of updated, precise data (input into A-GIS) for optimal NextGen airport planning, reporting, and decision making

13 Federal Aviation Administration Airports GIS Program March 10, 2009 Got Metadata?  Source & Quality at “project” level  Version & Status in Attributes

14 Federal Aviation Administration Airports GIS Program March 10, 2009 FAA Airports-GIS Metadata Needs  Airports change so should the data ‣ Constant construction and maintenance ‣ Natural changes also need to be recorded  Use sources of varying qualities  Different versions of the specs  Contacts needed for validation  Easy and intuitive to populate

15 Federal Aviation Administration Airports GIS Program March 10, 2009 Metadata Needed at Different Levels

16 Federal Aviation Administration Airports GIS Program March 10, 2009 Focus on Key Elements at Each Level
