5. Federal Aviation Administration 5 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 FY 2017 AIP Program CIP Call Letter To Be Issued In October 2015 (Dec. 1 submittal) Dec 2015 - April 2016 - ADO PM’s will be scrubbing CIP’s. May 2016 – Selection of FY17 Projects & Disc. Program. We Continue to Encourage Prior-year Design

6. Federal Aviation Administration 6 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Safety Runway Safety Areas – FAA is wrapping up a 15 year effort to improve all Runway Safety Areas at air carrier airports. This is a congressional mandate that must be complete by the end of calendar year 2015. Runway Incursions – The prevention of runway incursions continues to be a high safety priority of the FAA. The Office of Airports recently took an in depth look at runway incursion data for a six year period. We found that airport geometry played an important role in many of these incidents. In late 2015, The Office of Airports unveiled a new comprehensive and multiyear program to work with airports to identify, prioritize, and implement projects to correct these confusing airport geometry to reduce runway incursions. (Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) Program) Hot Topics for Airports

7. Federal Aviation Administration 7 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Safety Continued: Sign and Markings - There have been several sign and marking standards changes over the last couple of years. We encourage sponsors to review these Advisory Circulars and ensure your airports meet the standards. Wildlife – Please review your wildlife hazard assessment and management plan and update as necessary. Safety Management Systems (SMS) – FAA continues to implement internal SMS all Large, Medium and soon Small hub airports. This is a comprehensive user wide look at the overall safety of airport development projects. We also continue to pursue rulemaking for the implementation of SMS at 14 CFR part 139 airports. Hot Topics for Airports

8. Federal Aviation Administration 8 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Compliance Use of Airport Revenue/FAA Policy on Aviation Fuel Taxes - The FAA issued its final policy on proceeds from taxes on aviation fuel for publication in the Federal Register on November 7, 2014. This action finalizes the amendment of FAA’s Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenues (Revenue Use Policy). The FAA’s Final Revenue Use Policy considers state or local taxes on aviation fuel (except taxes in effect on December 30, 1987) to be airport revenue subject to the revenue-use requirement. However, state and local taxes on aviation fuel may be used to support state aviation programs or for noise mitigation purposes, on or off airport. The policy amendment applies prospectively to the use of proceeds from both new taxes and to existing taxes that do not qualify for grandfathering from revenue use requirements. States and counties have one year from December 8, 2014 to develop a plan to comply and the plan should take no more than 3 years to implement. Hot Topics for Airports

9. Federal Aviation Administration 9 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Congressional Representatives March 2014 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Hot Topics for Airports Compliance Continued: Non-Aeronautical use – Last year FAA issued a policy of non- aeronautical use of aviation facilities. This policy actually takes a common sense approach to use of aviation facilities on your airport and allows for exceptions based on aviation need. Leases – It is important to charge fair market value for non aeronautical leases. FAA must review these leases prior to execution. Commercial Space – In 2015 a letter was sent to all airport sponsors of NPIAS airports asking for early coordination if interested in space activity at your airport.

10. Federal Aviation Administration 10 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Hot Topics for Airports Compliance Continued: Special Events – (involving temporary airport closure) Complete or Partial Closure of Airport Facility Coordinate with ADO PM through 7460-1 (iOE/AAA) Timely Include Safety Plan Crowd Control Plan – FSDO review – 45 days Fair Market compensation Refer to FAA Order 5190.6B, Compliance Manual

11. Federal Aviation Administration 11 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Compliance Continued: Unmanned Aircraft Systems - Public UAS activity is provided through the Certificate of Authorization or Waiver (COA) process, which allows specific public agency and aircraft access to specific airspace during specified hours. The COA process allows UAS to be accommodated in the NAS today. Most of today’s UAS activity is by small UAS that are not runway dependent and operate from non-airport locations. To date based on language in 2012 reauthorization, we have issued approval for 6 test sites and waivers for commercial use in the film making, aerial surveying, oil and gas flare stack monitoring, and construction monitoring. The FAA has established the UAS Integration Office to provide a one- stop portal for information. Information can be found on the FAA website at www.faa.gov/uaswww.faa.gov/uas Hot Topics for Airports

12. Federal Aviation Administration 12 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Planning Project Coordination - We can be extremely helpful in project coordination both on and off the airport, but the key in this is early coordination. –We want to ensure you do not inadvertently impact your airport with both on or off airport development. Potential impacts include – limiting future growth of your airport both physically and financially or reducing capacity through airspace restrictions –We want to make sure you are compliant with laws and regulations such as NEPA, 14 CFR part 77 and part 139; and in compliance with grant assurances. Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) – On September 27, 2012, the FAA Office of Airports issued interim guidance to clarify FAA Advisory Circular 5300-13 Airport Design. This guidance requests airport sponsors to provide an alternative analysis for any new or modified land use in the RPZ. Hot Topics for Airports

13. Federal Aviation Administration 13 Georgia Airports Association October 14, 2015 Hot Topics for Airports Planning Continued: Airports Geographic Information System (GIS) – Its Here!!! 2014: Call for all aeronautical data at Large, Medium, Small, Non-Hubs, Part 139 or Towered NP Airports.

31. 31 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook The basic principles remain the same yet there is expanded guidance & explanation to avoid costly AIP mistakes & interpretation. So What’s Changed Exactly?

32. 32 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Some AIP Limitations Runway Identification/ Eligibility Unclassified Airport Projects Maintenance Work Pavement Maintenance Navaids/ Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) Administrative Costs Airport Police/ ARFF Vehicles & Storage Command & Control Centers Security Dogs/ Kennels & Terminal TSA Access Control Automated Weather Observation Systems Equipment Bonding, Etc. This is Not New Policy, Just Further Clarified

33. 33 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Runway Identification & Eligibility Runway work is AIP eligible...... but not all runways are AIP eligible.  Although runway eligibility is unchanged, Paragraph 3-11 now requires all runways be identified.  Identification is as follows: Primary Runway Crosswind Runway (wind coverage) Secondary Runway (demand capacity) If a runway does not meet the criteria for one of these, it is an Additional Runway. Additional Runways are not AIP eligible.

34. 34 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Unclassified Airport Projects Unclassified airports do not meet NPIAS entry criteria. These low-activity airports are limited to: –Primary Runway Rehabilitation (1 every 10 years) –Runway Maintenance Projects –Eligible Obstruction Removal Limited AIP funding is restricted to nonprimary entitlements or state apportionment.

35. 35 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Table 3-2 describes the differences between project maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and replacement. Table 3-3 includes project examples & their eligibility. Table 3-4 aids in determining project justification and eligibility. These tables help Y-O-U evaluate your projects early for successful justification, eligibility and potential funding. Defining Maintenance Work

36. 36 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Pavement Maintenance As found in Table 3-2(a), maintenance work is not considered Airport Development as defined in the Act and is therefore NOT AIP eligible EXCEPT... for routine runway, taxiway, & apron pavement maintenance at nonhub primary & nonprimary airports. Typical pavement maintenance includes routine cleaning, filling and/ or sealing of longitudinal & transverse cracks; grading pavement edges; maintaining pavement drainage systems; patching pavement; and remarking pavement areas. Pavement maintenance is AIP eligible when justified for all NPIAS airports in Georgia with the exception of 3 airports.

37. 37 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Navaid Minimum Standards & ILS’s The new Handbook contains updated minimum standards that must be met to decide that a NAVAID is justified. In December 2011, the FAA published a Federal Register Notice advising that ATO is no longer installing Cat I ILS. Neither ATO nor AIP have installed an ILS in over a decade. Due to lower costs & near-equivalent minimums, RNAV approaches are the new replacement for a CAT I ILS. FAA will no longer install an ILS without an ATO determination that a satellite approach will not work.

38. 38 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Obstruction Clearing  Grant Assurance # 13, Operations and Maintenance, states the responsibility of the airport sponsor to maintain and protect approaches.  The AIP Handbook defines the eligibility and limitations of obstacle clearing vs. maintenance.  FAA Memo, Reminder of Responsibilities for FAA Personnel and Airport Sponsors for Protecting Approach and Departure Surfaces, dated August 18, 2015 reminds us all of these shared safety critical responsibilities. Obstruction Clearing is FAA’s latest National Priority

39. 39 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Obstruction Clearing Know your approach/ departure surfaces Use existing data to analyze critical surfaces (AGIS, GDOT) Plan for early mitigation (inventory, environmental, acquisition) Use AGIS Tool (its free) to upload, coordinate and track your mitigation plan with FAA (Required for FY17-19) Know your restrictions/ resources AIP/ state funds may not be available due to previous grants, critical timing/ funding cycle, other project priorities. Airports are often restricted by off-airport property owners, environmental impacts, unknown legal data, resources, etc. Implement a proactive, local management plan Adopt/ enforce Airport Protection Zones tied to local development permitting Request local dedicated airport funds to manage obstructions and protect from liability

40. 40 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook To improve funds planning, FAA/ GDOT are requiring Y-O-U to provide more detailed project information with CIPs & Preapplications. With the introduction of GDOTs Aviation System Manager (ASM), Y-O-U will be required to code and prioritize their projects using a similar process to that of the ADO. Y-O-U will be required to properly define your projects, assign work codes, provide justification and prioritize projects that ultimately determines funds eligibility and program placement. The better Y-O-U become at understanding and applying AIP Handbook applications to strategize your project needs, the more likely you will be at successful funding. Why Y-O-U Need The AIP Handbook

41. 41 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook Stay Calm & Plan On Chuck Garrison, ATL ADO Assistant Manager Aimee McCormick, ATL ADO Planner & Program Manager

42. 42 Federal Aviation Administration For Optimal Airport Funding, Know the AIP Handbook GIS - Construction vs. Planning AIP funded construction projects currently require a GIS As-Built end product for upload/ approval into the FAA’s Airports GIS (AGIS) database BEFORE project completion and final drawdown. AIP funded planning/ environmental projects are being encouraged by HQ, but there is confusion regarding commitment and costs to participating airports. Once GIS, always GIS. If you cannot keep a 100% commitment to GIS based work, don’t propose it! All planning/ environmental GIS scopes require prior approval by the ADO within the AGIS system. All GIS project data must be properly formatted for final upload/ approval into AGIS as final project product. GIS project data not deposited/ managed in FAA’s AGIS system is not eligible. Hardware, software, training nor data management are eligible.
