Airport Airspace
Introduction
Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77 and airport grant Assurances require that all construction on an airport be coordinated with FAA. We use this coordination to determine if the height, layout, and composition of the structure are consistent with the Airport Layout Plan and that it will not obstruct the navigable airspace or adversely affect such FAA facilities as navigational aids or buried cables.

Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)
Introduction
ACRP is an industry-driven, applied research program that develops practical solutions to problems faced by airport operators and focuses on issues that other Federal research programs do not address. The FAA sponsors ACRP, which is managed by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies and sponsored by the FAA.

Airports-GIS
Introduction
We administer FAA's GIS data model for airport-related data and provide guidance for the collection and submission of this data. The FAA uses airport GIS data to develop satellite-based approach procedures and to better utilize and manage the National Airspace System.
