No. They can be combined to fund a project or phase of a project but must be separate grants. 

Yes.  If in a nonattainment or maintenance area meeting the criteria for the VALE program see Q-U35.  

For all other airports AIG Allocated funds can be used to assess the airport’s energy requirements in order to identify opportunities to increase energy efficiency at the airport as outlined under 49 U.S.C. 47140(a).  AIG Allocated funds can be used for improvements identified in the energy assessment that increase energy efficiency at the airport under 49 U.S.C. 47140(b). Contact your ADO for additional guidance.

No. FAA will not require an assessment if the energy efficiency project is in support of the terminal.  One of the project considerations for ATP projects is to improve energy efficiency, including upgrading environmental systems, upgrading plant facilities, and achieving LEED (or similar) accreditation standards as part of a new terminal construction, expansion, or rehabilitation.  

Yes.  The IIJA grants are funded from the General Fund; therefore, the Airport Infrastructure Program and the Airport Terminal Program are both Federal Grant Programs. IIJA funded projects must comply with FAA’s Contract Provision Guidelines for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects. This includes Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, Davis-Bacon, Civil Rights, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), and Veteran’s Preference, among other required contract provisions. 

FAA will only reimburse sponsors for eligible project related costs incurred on or after November 15, 2021, which is the date of enactment of IIJA. See Q-U24. Sponsor furnished materials and equipment must be purchased (cost incurred) after IIJA was enacted and follow federal contract provisions, including 2 CFR 200, to be eligible for reimbursement, installation, inspection, and testing. In addition, Buy American and Buy America, Build America must be followed for the costs of the equipment and/or materials to be eligible for reimbursement. See Q-U24 for reimbursement requirements for the FY 2023 and future ATP, FCT Competitive, and other IIJA related NOFOs.

All eligible airports will receive an AIG allocation. Sponsors with a Part 16 non-compliance finding by a Director’s Determination, Final Agency Decision, or Hearing will not receive an AIG Allocated grant until the compliance finding is resolved. All other sponsors, including those with a Part 13 noncompliance finding, can receive an AIG Allocated grant. However, grants issued to a sponsor with a Part 13 noncompliance finding must contain a special condition requiring Agency approval of a Corrective Action Plan before the sponsor can drawdown funds.

Yes.  Per 14 CFR § 67.4 applicants must show proof of age and identity by presenting a government-issued photo identification (ID).  As you review the application, verify the name matches the government-issued ID.  If the name is incorrect, you must make the update in AMCS.

If you have corrected the airman’s name in AMCS, please:

1. Instruct the airman to update their name on their MedXPress account at or before their next application.
2. As required by 14 CFR § 61.25, if the airman is the holder of an airmen certificate they must appear at an FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) for positive identification if there has been a legal name change.  For more information, they can contact the FAA Airmen Certification Branch to ensure it is accurate on their airmen certificate. (See Airmen Certification name change)

If the airman does not complete these steps, the problem is likely to recur.  
 

The applicant must identify the risk factors and propose methods to acceptably mitigate those factors.

Yes, a requirement of the private pilot certificate is to perform three takeoff and landings at a controlled airport to demonstrate your ability to communicate with the tower.

In aerobatic flight, the pilot abruptly changes an aircraft’s angle compared to the earth, takes an abnormal position (such as flying upside down), or accelerates abnormally. We do not define acrobatic flight.

An AME and any authorized AME staff members are responsible for entering and transmitting all FAA Form 8500-8 application data using AMCS. They also have a responsibility to adhere to Federal Aviation Administration computer use security policies.

Trying to make the mission fit the technology as opposed to using technology to support the mission. Don't buy a UAS and try to build a mission around it, determine the mission and then the technology to support it.
