OFFICE OF AIRPORTS: Mission

To collect airport data

To give the airport data to Air Traffic

Federal Aviation Administration

OFFICE OF AIR TRAFFIC: Mission

To publish the airport data and all other aeronautical data

Federal Aviation Administration

OFFICE OF AIRPORTS
Has three programs for collecting airport data: Airport Safety Data Program (aka the 5010 Program) Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis Program (aka the OE/AAA Program) Airport GIS Program (GIS = Geographic Information Systems)

Federal Aviation Administration

OFFICE OF AIR TRAFFIC

Has one program for publishing aeronautical data: Aeronautical Information Services Aeronautical Information Services is the single authoritative government source for collecting, validating, storing, maintaining and disseminating aeronautical data concerning the United States and its territories to support real-time aviation activities.

Federal Aviation Administration

Airport Safety Data Program: Mission

The Airport Safety Data Program is a pro-active program whose mission is to collect airport data through the inspection of all civil public use airports, and a mail solicitation to all private use airports, and to give the airport data to Air Traffic.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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@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.

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.
