  • 3 Airport System and Classifications
    3 Airport System and Classifications 3.1 Introduction One of the first steps in the system planning process is to identify the airports to be included in the system. States utilize different methods for defining the airports considered for inclusion in their state aviation transportation networks. Inclusion criteria could relate to ownership and use, while the impact of inclusion could affect funding eligibility or regulatory impacts. Once system airports are identified, further stratification or classification of facilities helps organize the system according to the types of users served and role in the statewide system. 3.2 Aviation Facilities in Florida A considerable number of aviation facilities are located in Florida. According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airport facilities data as of August 2017, there were 768 aviation facilities located throughout the state. These facilities primarily consist of airports and heliports; however, approximately 10 percent of the aviation facilities consists of gliderports, seaplane bases, and ultralight facilities. These facilities are made up of airports with different ownership and uses across six categories (see Figure 3-1): 1. Publicly-owned, public-use. Of all aviation facilities located throughout Florida, 104 are publicly-owned and operated as public-use facilities. These facilities are owned by counties or municipalities or through the establishment of a special district (airport authority). A significant number of these facilities were originally military installations that were transferred from the U.S. government to local agencies. Many of these airport owners have accepted state and/or federal grant funding for new construction, maintenance, or other airport improvements. The acceptance and use of these grants comes with certain assurances, one of which requires that the airport continues to be operated as an airport for a specified duration as determined by the FAA, typically 20 years after the acceptance and use of grant funding.
