Airport Safety Data Program SUMMARY

• The role of the Airport Safety Data Program
• To collect airport non-airspace
  non-surveying data
• To give the airport data to Air Traffic
• Not the role of the Airport Safety Data Program
• To collect or analyze the airport airspace data
  that is
• analyzed in the Airspace Program
• To collect the airport surveying data that is
  collected
• in the Airport GIS Program

13
Airport Safety Data Program

• GCR Associates is a contractor with the Office
  of Airports, Airport Safety Data Program
• GCR Associates provides technical assistance in
  giving the FAA the airport inspection data to
  Air Traffic electronically
• GCR Associates also provides a wide range of
  administrative services to the FAA Office of
  Airports

14
Airport Safety Data Program
Form 5010-1 is used for existing public use
airports Form 5010-2 is used for existing
private use airports
15
FAA Form 5010-1

• Form 5010-1 is a computer report
• downloaded from Air Traffics NASR
• database.
• Form 5010-1 was designed in an easy to
• read format in order to enable the reader
• to view airport data conveniently at a
• glance.
• Form 5010-1 may also be used as a
• planning document.
• Form 5010-1 also serves as a checklist
• for conducting airport inspections.

16
FAA Form 5010-2

• Form 5010-2 may be used as
• a planning document.
• Form 5010-2 may be used for
• mail solicitation for private use
• airports.

17
FAA Form 5010-1

• Today you have the option of
• downloading the airport data
• contained in Form 5010-1
• electronically and you may view
• the airport data in an excel
• spreadsheet or in any format
• you want.
• http//nfdc.faa.gov/index.jsp

18
OE/AAA Program

• The mission of the OE/AAA Program is to conduct
  aeronautical
• studies so as to analyze obstacle data /and/ on
  airport
• construction proposals /and/ airport airspace
  matters.
• These aeronautical studies analyze the impact of
  airport
• construction and potential hazards to navigation
  on the National
• Airspace System.

19
FAA Form 7480-1

• 14 CFR Part 157 Required notice shall be
  submitted
• on Form 7480-1 from each person who intends to do
  
• any of the following
• 1. Establish a new airport.
• 2. Add or modify or delete a runway.
• 3. Add or modify or delete a taxiway on a public
  use airport.
• 4. Abandon an airport.
• 5. Abandon a taxiway.
• 6. Change the status of an airport from private
  use to public use and from public use to private
  use.
• 7. Change status from IFR to VFR or from VFR to
  IFR.
• 8. Establish or change any traffic pattern or
  traffic pattern altitude or direction.

20
Airport GIS Program

• This programs web site will ensure that airport
  surveying data is collected, processed and made
  available for airport use and airport planning
  and instrument apch procedure development.
• This program provides guidance on the proper
  collection and submission of airport surveying
  data to the National Geodetic Service for
  validation.
• This programs web-based application will also
  allow airport operators and their consultants
  access to detailed technical guidance on the
  performance and accuracy requirements of airport
  and aeronautical surveys.

21
SUBMITTAL OF AIRPORT DATA

• It is the responsibility of the airport operator
  to make sure that the airport data shown in the
  Airport/Facility Directory is current and
  correct.
• It is the responsibility of the airport operator
  to submit changes to airport data to the FAA in a
  timely manner.
• How?

22
SUBMITTAL OF AIRPORT DATA FOR OBLIGATED AIRPORTS

• Submit surveying data directly on line at
• HTTP//AIRPORTS-GIS.FAA.GOV
• TPSS is opnl and uses UDDF based on FAA 405
  specifications
• AGIS is under development based on AC
  150/5300-18B
• Submit changes to all other airport data directly
  to Air Traffics
• Aeronautical Information Services by email using
  the following
• email address
• 9-ATOR-HQ-AIS-AIRPORTCHANGES_at_FAA.GOV
• You must insure that AIP funded airspace data
  was ALP
• approved and you include wording in your email
  message
• showing that the data was analyzed and approved
  during the
• ALP process.

23

Aeronautical Information Services

• The mission of Aeronautical Information Services
• To publish airport data
• To publish navaid data
• To publish airspace data
• To publish instrument apch proc data
• To publish airport diagrams

27
Aeronautical Information Services

• What does the National Airspace System look like
  on paper?
• One major component of the NAS is a database
  called the NASR database.
• What is the National Airspace System Resources
  (NASR) database?
• Its a third-degree normalized relational
  data model database containing over 1000 tables.

In other words, NASR is an incredibly complex
database.
28
NASR database contents

• Runway data
• Remarks data
• Navaids data
• Airspace Fixes
• Holding Patterns
• Victor Airways
• Airport data
• Jet Airways

• Parachute jump areas
• US Location identifiers
• Canadian Loc ids
• Mexican Loc ids
• Preferred Routes
• Restricted Areas
• Special Use Airspace
• Military Opns areas

And on and on and on
29
NASR database has two purposes

• To publish safety critical aeronautical
  information
• To generate computer reports for planning and
  programming

30
NASR database computer reports

• The NASR database generates two kinds of
  computer reports
• Ad hoc reports
• Pre-canned reports

31
NASR database ad hoc reports

• Here are two examples of ad hoc computer reports
  downloaded from Air Traffics NASR database
