This AC provides basic information pertaining to FAA recommendations on commercial minimum standards and related policies. Although minimum standards are optional, the FAA highly recommends their use and implementation as a means to minimize the potential for violations of Federal obligations at federally obligated airports.

This AC is intended to help a broad audience understand the effects of land use on the safety and utility of airport operations and identify compatible land use development tools, resources and techniques to protect surrounding communities from adverse effects associated with airport operations.

This AC cancels AC 150/5190-5 (Change 1), Exclusive Rights and Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities, dated June 10, 2002.
