Airport Safety Data Program
2 2Federal AviationAdministration
OFFICE OF AIRPORTS: Mission
To “collect” airport data
To “give” the airport data
to Air Traffic
3 3Federal AviationAdministration
OFFICE OF AIR TRAFFIC: Mission
To “publish” the
airport data and all other
aeronautical data
4 4Federal AviationAdministration
OFFICE OF AIRPORTS
Has three programs for collecting airport data:
Airport Safety Data Program
(aka the 5010 Program)
Obstruction Evaluation/Airport
Airspace Analysis Program
(aka the OE/AAA Program)
Airport GIS Program
(GIS = Geographic Information Systems)
5 5Federal AviationAdministration
OFFICE OF AIR TRAFFIC
Has one program for publishing aeronautical data:
Aeronautical Information Services
Aeronautical Information Services isthe single authoritative government sourcefor collecting, validating, storing, maintainingand disseminating aeronautical data concerningthe United States and its territories to supportreal-time aviation activities.
6 6Federal AviationAdministration
Airport Safety Data Program: Mission
The Airport Safety Data Program is a pro-active program whose mission isto “collect” airport data through the inspection of all civil public useairports, and a mail solicitation to all private use airports, and to “give” the airport data to Air Traffic.

To collect airport surveying data.
However this program and its web site is planned to be the “one stop shopping” program and web site for the collection and storage of all airport data.

Airport Safety Data Program: SUMMARY
The role of the Airport Safety Data Program: To “collect” airport “non-airspace” “non-surveying” data To “give” the airport data to Air Traffic
Not the role of the Airport Safety Data Program: To collect or analyze the airport airspace data that is
analyzed in the Airspace Program To collect the airport surveying data that is collected
in the Airport GIS Program

GCR & Associates is a contractor with the Office of Airports, Airport Safety Data Program
GCR & Associates provides technical assistance in “giving” the FAA the airport inspection data to Air Traffic electronically
GCR & Associates also provides a wide range of administrative services to the FAA Office of Airports

Airport Safety Data Program
Form 5010-1 is used for existing public use airports
Form 5010-2 is used for existing private use airports
15 15Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Form 5010-1
Form 5010-1 is a computer report downloaded from Air Traffic’s NASR database.
Form 5010-1 was designed in an easy toread format in order to enable the readerto view airport data conveniently at aglance.
Form 5010-1 may also be used as aplanning document.
Form 5010-1 also serves as a checklistfor conducting airport inspections.
16 16Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Form 5010-2
Form 5010-2 may be used as
a planning document.
Form 5010-2 may be used for
mail solicitation for private use
airports.
17 17Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Form 5010-1
Today you have the option ofdownloading the airport data contained in Form 5010-1 electronically and you may view the airport data in an excel spreadsheet or in any format you want.

18 18Federal AviationAdministration
OE/AAA Program
The mission of the OE/AAA Program is to conduct aeronautical studies so as to analyze obstacle data /and/ on airport construction proposals /and/ airport airspace matters.
These aeronautical studies analyze the impact of airport construction and potential hazards to navigation on the National Airspace System.
19 19Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Form 7480-1 14 CFR Part 157 Required notice shall be submitted on Form 7480-1 from each person who intends to do any of the following: 1. Establish a new airport. 2. Add or modify or delete a runway. 3. Add or modify or delete a taxiway on a public use airport.4. Abandon an airport. 5. Abandon a taxiway.6. Change the status of an airport from private use to public use
and from public use to private use. 7. Change status from IFR to VFR or from VFR to IFR. 8. Establish or change any traffic pattern or traffic pattern
altitude or direction.
20 20Federal AviationAdministration
This program’s web site will ensure that airport surveying data is collected, processed and made available for airport use and airport planning and instrument apch procedure development.
This program provides guidance on the proper collection and submission of airport surveying data to the National Geodetic Service for validation.
This program’s web-based application will also allow airport operators and their consultants access to detailed technical guidance on the performance and accuracy requirements of airport and aeronautical surveys.
Airport GIS Program
21 21Federal AviationAdministration
SUBMITTAL OF AIRPORT DATA
It is the responsibility of the airport operator to make sure that the airport data shown in the Airport/Facility Directory is current and correct.
It is the responsibility of the airport operator to submit changes to airport data to the FAA in a timely manner.
How?
22 22Federal AviationAdministration
SUBMITTAL OF AIRPORT DATA FOR OBLIGATED AIRPORTS
Submit surveying data directly on line at:HTTP://AIRPORTS-GIS.FAA.GOV
TPSS is opnl and uses UDDF based on FAA 405 specificationsAGIS is under development based on AC 150/5300-18B
Submit changes to all other airport data directly to Air Traffic’s Aeronautical Information Services by email using the following email address:
You must insure that AIP funded “airspace data” was ALP approved and you include wording in your email message showing that the data was analyzed and approved during the ALP process.
23 23Federal AviationAdministration
SUBMITTAL OF AIRPORT DATA FORNON-OBLIGATED AIRPORTS
Submit surveying data on line at: HTTP://AIRPORTS-GIS.FAA.GOV
TPSS is opnl and uses UDDF based on FAA 405 specificationsAGIS is under development based on AC 150/5300-18B
Submit changes to all other airport data directly to Air Traffic’s Aeronautical Information Services by email using the following email address:
You must insure that “airspace data” (see FAA Form 7480-1)was first airspaced and you include the “airspace case number” in your submittal

What does the National Airspace System look like on paper?
One major component of the NAS is a database called the NASR database.
What is the National Airspace System Resources (NASR) database?
It’s a third-degree normalized relational data model database containing over 1000 tables.
In other words, NASR is an incredibly complex database.
28 28Federal AviationAdministration
NASR database contents
• Runway data• Remarks data• Navaids data• Airspace Fixes• Holding Patterns• Victor Airways• Airport data• Jet Airways
• Parachute jump areas• US Location identifiers• Canadian Loc ids• Mexican Loc ids• Preferred Routes• Restricted Areas• Special Use Airspace• Military Opns areas
And on and on and on
29 29Federal AviationAdministration
NASR database has two purposes
To publish safety critical aeronautical information
To generate computer reports for planning and programming
30 30Federal AviationAdministration
NASR database computer reports
The NASR database generates two kinds of computer reports:
Ad hoc reports
Pre-canned reports
31 31Federal AviationAdministration
NASR database ad hoc reports
Here are two examples of ad hoc computer reports downloaded from Air Traffic’s NASR database:
A list of all the airports in the State of Pennsylvania with a 5,000 ft hard surface runway and an instrument approach procedure
A list of all the airports in the State of Pennsylvania alphabetically by airport name
32 32Federal AviationAdministration
NASR database pre-canned reports
Here are four examples of pre-canned computerreports downloaded from the NASR database
Airport Master Record (Form 5010-1)
Airport Master Record (Form 5010-2)

Where can I get NASR aeronautical
data for free?
http://nfdc.faa.gov/index.jsp
How often is the data on this site
updated?
It is updated every 56 days on the effective
date of every 56-day airspace cycle.
