– Local governments
– State governments
– Port Authorities
– Airport Authorities
– Private Entities

10. The FAA has the authority to issue requirements
for the certification and operations of certain
land use airports through Part 139 of Title 14,
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR Part 139),
which applies to airports in the United States:
• Serving scheduled and unscheduled air carrier aircraft
with more than 30 seats
• Serving scheduled air carrier service operations in
aircraft with 9 or more seats but less than 31
• The FAA Administrator requires to have a certificate
Airport Certification
The FAA ensures the
national airport system
is safe, efficient, and
environmentally
responsible and meets
the needs of the
traveling public

11. • ACM must contain
operating procedures,
equipment descriptions,
responsibility assignments,
and any other information
needed by airport
personnel to comply with
Part 139.
• Must be current at all
times, comprehensive,
provide flexibility to deal
with unforeseen
circumstances, specify
who, what, where, when
tasks are performed
Airport Certification Manual

12. • ACM Subpart D specifies the detailed operations; Advisory
Circulars aid Airport Managers in complying with FAR Part 139
– AC 150/5200-30, Airport Winter Safety and Operations
– AC 150/5200-31, Airport Emergency Plan
– AC 150/5200-18, Airport Safety Self-Inspection

13. Airport Emergency Plan
• Addresses essential
emergency plans to ensure the
safety of the airport populace
and the community in which
the airport is located, in the
event of an aircraft accident,
natural or technological
disaster (i.e. terrorism). • Covers command and
control, communications,
alerts/notifications,
protective actions, security
and law enforcement,
firefighting and rescue,
medical, resource
management, mutual aid,
public information

14. • Operators of Part 139 airports must
provide ARFF services during air
carrier operations that require Part
139 certification
• Requirements are based on the
airport index; determined by the
length of air carrier aircraft and
average daily departures.
– Index A: Aircraft less than 90 feet
– Index B: Aircraft 90 feet to less than 126 feet
– Index C: Aircraft 126 feet to less than 159
feet
– Index D: Aircraft 159-less than 200 feet
– Index E: Aircraft at least 200 feet
• Departures: 5 or more average daily
departures

15. Air transportation is an industry of vital
economic, political, and social importance,
yet fraught with the potential for catastrophe
due to inherent hazards, depending on
location. Among those hazards are.
• Aircraft accidents (generally associated
with human error)
• Runway Incursions
• Natural Disasters
– Tornadoes
– Hurricanes
– Tsunamis/floods
– Lightening strikes
– Winter storms
– Wildlife
• Technological/Man-made Disasters
– Terrorism
– Passenger rage
– Fire
– Smuggling
Airport Hazards

16. Winter Operations
• Requirement of CFR
Part 139.313 Snow
and Ice Control, to
develop:
• a snow and ice
control plan,
• conduct and report
runway friction
surveys, and
• establish snow and
ice control and
removal plans
• Advisory Circular
150/5200-30

17. • On September 23, 1995, in
Anchorage, Alaska, a flock of
Canadian geese flew into a USAF
AWACS that had just taken off
from Elmendorf Air Force Base,
resulting in the death of 24 air
crewmen.
• This tragic event illustrates the
impetus for 14 CFR Part 139.337,
which mandates airports assess
the risk and magnitude of the
wildlife strike problem for their
airport.
• Assessment includes
comprehensive reporting of all
wildlife strike incidents,
assessment of wildlife on the
airport, and assessment of airport
wildlife habitat.
Wildlife Management

18. Runway Excursion: Veer off or
overrun from the runway
surface, during takeoff or
landing, caused by any
number of factors but most
commonly unstable
approaches and runway
conditions.
Runway Safety
Runway Incursion: Any
occurrence at an airport
involving the incorrect
presence of an aircraft,
vehicle, or person on the
protected area of a surface
designated for the landing
and takeoff of aircraft

19. Runway Incursions

20. Safety Management Systems
• International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), amended Annex 14 Volume I to
require member states to have certificated airports establish Safety Management
System (SMS)
• Proposed SMS rulemaking will require each certificate holder to establish SMS for
airfield/airport environments, to improve safety of air carrier operations on
movement and non-movements areas.
• Intent is to detect and correct problems at the airport level before they manifest into
a catastrophic event
• Currently underway with Advisory Circular 150/5200-37 to support SMS measures;
FAA advises voluntary implementation prior to final ruling.
• Encourages shared information and lessons learned with respect to hazard
assessment, tracking and reporting; data collection; risk management; safety
assurance and safety promotion

21. Questions?
We will have a Q&A
session following our
second presentation.

22. Dr. Patti Clark

24. Airport Sustainability
• According the FAA airports require sustainable
actions to: reduce environmental impact, maintain
high, stable levels of economic growth and achieve
“social progress.” In this topic we will explore some
current sustainability challenges for airports to meet
local community objectives and still achieve design,
planning and development goals. Are they really
challenges or hidden opportunities?
Proed.erau.edu

25. Defining Sustainability
• Most people think sustainability
and environmental are
synonymous
• However, environmental impact is
only one part of sustainability
• We often refer to a the “three
legged stool” of sustainability
which ties in with the FAA
statement

26. PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU
Sustainable Actions Opportunities
Sustainable Aviation Guidance Alliance (SAGA)

27. Reduce Environmental Impact
• Airport projects require an environmental assessment action
or Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) under NEPA
• The goal of any project is to minimize, mitigate or negate the
impact or even improve the airport environment
– Water conservation – landscaping or low flow fixtures
– Energy – solar or wind
– Materials – recycled or reclaimed
– Land use – wetlands or natural spaces
– Air quality – CNG or electric vehicles

28. PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU
Maintain High, Stable Levels of Economic Growth
• Every airport has an economic impact to the community it
operates in and a responsibility to be a positive contributor
• Economically airports can improve sustainability through
– Responsible economic practices – use of revenue, government funds
and creation of feasible goals
– Hiring local and or DBE contractors – grounds keeping, pavement
repairs or operation of parking lots
– Buying local products or incentivizing neighborhood small businesses
to work with the airport

29. PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU
Achieve “Social Progress”
• Social progress is now often referred to as social equity which
is simply recognizing the needs of all airport stakeholders in
making airport decisions
– Public awareness and education – Chamber of Commerce, tours and
civic groups
– Employee well-being – pay, benefits and training. Hire local!
– Local culture and heritage – local events, display museum pieces
relevant to regional history
– Sustainable transportation – public transportation, electric or CNG
vehicles

Example Sustainability Initiatives (ATL)

31. Meeting the Sustainability Challenge
• In airport planning and design,
the opportunities are actually
easy to identify and incorporate
• Development or expansion may
offer challenges but with proper
planning sustainability can also
be integrated
• The photo on the right is of
Changi Airport in Singapore

32. PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU
Example Sustainability Trifectas
• New buildings or terminals
– Consider LEED certified/energy efficient design
– Low flow water fixtures/wastewater reuse
– Purchasing of local products
– Hiring local contractors/DBEs
– Efficient use of space for employees and customers
– Integrate local features or space for exhibits

33. PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

34. PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU
Example Sustainability Trifectas
• Development or expansion of existing facilities
– Runway, taxiway or roadway - reuse of materials such as concrete,
lighting, improve access
– Building or terminal - redesign to incorporate improved low energy
lighting and natural lighting
– Creation of greenspace or wetlands to offset development or
expansion
– All of the above projects may incorporate local businesses and
purchasing to improve economic and social aspects.

36. New Sustainability Definition
• Airport Sustainability is more
accurately defined as a holistic
approach to managing an airport
by ensuring the integrity of the
– economic and operational
efficiencies,
– natural resource conservation
– and social responsibility of the
airport.
• Meeting all the needs does not have to
be difficult!
