Cancelled By: 150/5300-17B

Provides the specifications for Airport Imagery acquisition and how to submit the imagery for review and approval in support of aeronautical information and airport engineering surveys. See also Airports GIS Video Training Series.

Date Cancelled: 09-30-2011

Provides the specifications for the collection of airport survey data through field and office methodologies in support of aeronautical information and airport engineering surveys. It also explains how to submit data to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which will forward the data to the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) for quality control purposes. The primary purpose of these general guidelines and specifications is to list the requirements for aeronautical surveys conducted at airports in support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Surveying–GIS Program. Note to Users: Not all agreed upon comments received have been incorporated into this version of the document. However, they may be incorporated in the next revision after due technical review and consultation with industry.

Because of the size of this document, it is available as one large file (see Complete) or as several smaller files (see Parts 1-3).

Date Cancelled: 12-06-2004

Incorporates new mandatory hold signs that reflect changed standards for the Precision Obstacle Free Zone (POFZ) and Category (CAT II/III ) operations. These changes correspond to revisions to AC 150/5300-13, Airport Design, that change the Precision Object Free Area (POFA) to the POFZ and incorporate new separation standards for taxiways that parallel runways used for certain low visibility operations. This AC cancels AC 150/5340-18C, Standards for Airport Sign Systems, dated July 31, 1991.

Date Cancelled: 09-12-1974
Cancelled By: 150/5340-18E

Contains the Federal Aviation Administration standards for the siting and installation of signs on airport runways and taxiways. Incorporates mandatory hold signs that reflect changed standards for the Precision Obstacle Free Zone (POFZ) and Category (CAT II/III) operations. Includes sign standards to assist airport operators in designating (1) the POFZ holding position in those instances where a taxiway, holding apron, or other movement area would result in an aircraft fuselage or tail penetrating, and (2) the alternative holding position on a taxiway during CAT II/III operations necessary to maintain adequate aircraft separation.
