Provides guidance to airport operators on the procurement of snow and ice control equipment for airport use.

Provides guidance to assist operators in planning, designing, and constructing seaplane base facilities.

Contains guidelines and procedures for the design and construction of skid-resistant pavement; pavement evaluation, without or with friction equipment; and maintenance of high skid-resistant pavements.

Describes the specification requirements for L-824 electrical cables.

Contains a specification for wind cone assemblies to be used to provide wind information to pilots of aircraft.

Provides design standards and guidelines for determining recommended runway lengths.

Contains a specification for a circuit selector switch for use in airport lighting circuits.

Contains the FAA specifications for low-impact resistant (LIR) structures used to support approach lighting systems (ALS) at airports.

Provides guidance for the preparation of airport master plans that range in size and function from small general aviation to large commercial service facilities. Appendix D of this AC cancels Chapter 1, Section 5; Appendix 6; and Appendix 7 of AC 150/5300-13, Airport Design. Consolidated file contains Change 1.

Contains the specifications for radio control equipment to be used for controlling airport lighting facilities.

Provides guidance in the design of a lighted visual aid to indicate temporary runway closure.

Provides guidance on certain land uses that have the potential to attract hazardous wildlife on or near public-use airports. It also discusses airport development projects (including airport construction, expansion, and renovation) affecting aircraft movement near hazardous wildlife attractants.

Contains the FAA standards for generic visual glideslope indicators systems. GVGI systems provide pilots with visual glideslope guidance during approaches for landing at general aviation airports.

Provides guidance for the site selection and design of buildings used to store and maintain airport snow and ice control equipment, store approved materials, and provide personnel areas required to support the requirements under the airport operator’s winter storm management plan.

Sets forth standards for a system of airport marking consisting of certain pilot aids and traffic control devices.

Explains the specifications for establishing geodetic control on or near an airport. It also describes how to submit the information to the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) for approval and inclusion in the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) in support of aeronautical information surveys. See also Airports GIS Video Training Series.

Contains the specification requirements for a relay cabinet used to control airfield lighting circuits. The L-841 consists of an enclosure containing a direct current (DC) power supply, control circuit protection and 20 pilot relays.

Contains the FAA standards for portable runway and taxiway lights and runway end identifier lights for temporary use to permit continued aircraft operations while all or part of a runway lighting system is inoperative.

Provides guidance for the planning, coordination, management, design, testing, inspection, and execution of rapid construction of rigid (Portland Cement Concrete) airfield pavements. This AC focuses on rigid airfield pavement construction. The material contained herein also applies to other types of airfield improvements where rapid construction is identified as the preferred construction method.

Provides guidelines and procedures for maintaining rigid and flexible airport pavements.

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).

Provides guidance on using the NOTAM system for airport condition reporting and describes significant changes to the format of Distant (D) and Local (L) NOTAMs.
