What is an Airport Master Plan?

“An Airport Master Plan is a comprehensive study of an airport and usually describes the short-, medium-, and long term development plans to meet future aviation demand”

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B Airport Master Plans Airport Master Planning

What are some important facts about Airport Master Planning? An Airport Master Plan is prepared by the airport owner An Airport Layout Plan (ALP) is required for every airport within the Federal system Reviews airport facility needs for next 20 years Plan provides a road map for the airport owner to efficiently and effectively meet aviation demand Airport Master Planning

Why is a Master Plan Update needed now? The FAA requires that all airports within the federal system have an airport master plan and that it is updated every 7-10 years (last one completed in 2004) Address new FAA requirements Provide an Electronic ALP (eALP) as required by FAA (aids in procedure development) Planning Considerations

What are the important issues to address in this study? Justification of Runway Length/Width (both 13-31 and 7-25) Line of Sight Issues with 7-25 Incorporation of AGIS Identify non-aeronautical areas Justify the proposed development through the technical, economic, and environmental investigation of concepts and alternatives. Other Issues-future of drone usage? Airport Layout Plan Pierre Airport Airport Master Plan Elements
