Airport planning
Federal Aviation Administration

Airport planning is a systematic process utilized to establish guidelines for the efficient development of airports consistent with local, State and national goals. The FAA establishes standards and provides guidance on national airport layout, master and system planning. A key objective of airport planning is to assure the effective use of airport resources in order to satisfy aviation demand in a financially feasible manner.
Effective airport planning results in the Sponsor to identifying short term and long term needs of their airport. Once these needs are established, project formulation is then initiated by the Sponsor's submittal of an Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) data sheet for each individual project. The ACIP provides the means to systematically identify, prioritize and assign funds for airport development. The FAA evaluates each project for eligibility, justification, reasonableness of cost and priority assessment.

Airport planning ensures that we can satisfy aviation demand efficiently and effectively by developing airports that are financially feasible and comply with local, State and national goals. We establish standards and guidance on national airport layout and master and system planning.
During planning, the Sponsor identifies short and long term needs of their airport. Based on these needs, the Sponsor submits Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) data sheets for each individual project. These data sheets enable us to identify, prioritize and assign funds for airport development. We evaluate each project for eligibility, justification, reasonableness of cost and priority.
