What are the functions of the Airport Layout Plan?
1. FAA Funding - Its an FAA approved plan for the airport to receive AIP funding and continue to
receive funding. 2. Concept - It's a blueprint for the Airport development. 3. Public Information -
It's a public document of recorded for aeronautical requirements and available for the public. 4.
,Plan for Improvement - It Enables the FAA and Airport Sponsor to plan improvements. 5.
Working Tool - It is a working tool for airport operations and maintenance personnel.
ALP Maintence
ALP should be reviewed every 2-7 years. When there have been numerous ,pen and ink,
changes. Grant Assurances require to keep up to date property lines, existing and proposed
non-aviation areas
ALP is
Is one of the most important documents to an airport
FAA approves ALPs to
Approves to ensure all existing and proposed developments shown on the plan will be safe,
useful and efficient
Useful development means?
The airport is making the best use of airport land while minimizing the impact of off-airport
structures
Airport Master Record (FAA 5010 Form is
5010 is used to update Airport Facility Directory (aka Chart Supplements). Required to update
once per year. Title 14 CFR Part 157 required Airport operators to keep FAA informed of
