### **PURPOSE.** This advisory circular (AC) provides methods acceptable to the Administrator for showing compliance with the Airport Certification Manual requirements contained in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139, Certification of Airports. While the effective date of this rule is June 9, 2004, this AC is being published now to help the airport operator prepare to meet the requirements of the new rule.

### **FOCUS.** This AC is for operators of airports that currently hold a Part 139 Airport Operating Certificate or that want to be certificated under Part 139.

### **CANCELLATION.** This AC cancels AC 139.201-1, Airport Certification Manual (ACM) and Airport Certification Specifications (ACS).

### **RELATED READING MATERIAL.** The following Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ACs---developed to address specific elements of Part 139, Subpart D---will assist airport operators during ACM preparation. Appendix 4 lists other relevant ACs.

a.  AC 150/5200-30, Airport Winter Safety and Operations

b.  AC 150/5200-31, Airport Emergency Plan

c.  AC 150/5200-18, Airport Safety Self-Inspection

d.  AC 150/5200-33, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports

e.  AC 150/5200-28, Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for Airport Operators

f.  AC 150/5210-20, Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports

g.  AC 150/5340-1, Standards for Airport Markings

h.  AC 150/5340-18, Standards for Airport Sign Systems

i.  AC 150/5370-2, Operational Safety on Airports During Construction.

### **BACKGROUND.** Under 14 CFR Part 139, the following airports in the United States and its possessions must hold Airport Operating Certificates:

### Airports (except those in the State of Alaska) serving *scheduled* passenger-carrying operations of air carrier aircraft designed for 10 to 30 passenger seats.

### Airports serving *scheduled* and *unscheduled* passenger-carrying operations of air carrier aircraft designed for more than 30 passenger seats.

### Before the revision of Part 139, a certificated airport had either an ACM or Airport Certification Specifications, depending on the type of certificate held by the airport operator. The revised Part 139, however, requires airport operators at all certificated airports to develop and implement an ACM. This AC provides guidance on revising an existing or developing a new ACM. {#before-the-revision-of-part-139-a-certificated-airport-had-either-an-acm-or-airport-certification-specifications-depending-on-the-type-of-certificate-held-by-the-airport-operator.-the-revised-part-139-however-requires-airport-operators-at-all-certificated-airports-to-develop-and-implement-an-acm.-this-ac-provides-guidance-on-revising-an-existing-or-developing-a-new-acm. .unnumbered}

### **USE OF THIS CIRCULAR.** 

a.  This AC discusses the requirements of Subpart D of 14 CFR Part 139.
    It uses the word "must" to indicate mandatory elements of the ACM
    required by Part 139.

b.  The term "Section" followed by a number, such as "Section 139.317,"
    refers to a specific provision of Part 139.

c.  The term "airport operator" is used throughout this document to
    refer to the airport operator as well as to any personnel or entity,
    as appropriate, that the operator has designated to perform tasks
    described in this AC and the ACM.

### **AVAILABILITY OF SAMPLE AIRPORT CERTIFICATION MANUALS.** A sample of a very basic Airport Certification Manual is available on the FAA home page on the web. Appendix 5 provides instructions for accessing the sample Airport Certification Manual online.

# CHAPTER 1. FUNCTION AND FORM

101. **FUNCTION OF THE AIRPORT CERTIFICATION MANUAL (ACM).** Part 139
     includes terminology and minimum requirements broad enough to
     encompass all Federally certificated airports. The ACM serves as
     the bridge between the requirements of Part 139 and their
     application to a particular airport, taking into account the
     airport's size, type/level of activity, and configuration. To
     ensure the ACM fulfills its intended purpose, it should be the
     following:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  **Comprehensive.** The ACM must address all Part 139 requirements
    that apply to the airport. A comprehensive ACM will provide airport
    personnel with all the information they need to comply with these
    requirements.

b.  **Direct.** The content of the ACM should be accurate, clear, and
    speak directly to Part 139 requirements. An ACM that provides clear
    instructions but avoids excessive detail will help ensure that
    personnel understand how the airport operator will attain regulatory
    compliance at the airport and leave the airport with the flexibility
    necessary to address unforeseen circumstances.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
102. **ENFORCEABILITY OF THE ACM.** Section 139.101 establishes the
     enforceability of the ACM. Once the FAA approves the ACM, it serves
     as an extension of Part 139 for the airport.

103. **PREPARATION OF THE ACM.** In addition to specifying technical
     content, Part 139 stipulates standards for the approval, format,
     and distribution of the ACM.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  **Approval.** Part 139 mandates two levels of approval for the ACM:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(1) **Airport Approval.** Part 139 requires the airport operator to sign
    and approve the ACM before submitting it to the FAA. In this
    context, "airport operator" means an official of the operator who
    has the authority to implement and enforce all provisions of the
    ACM. Changes in airport management personnel do not require new
    airport approval as long as the airport operator continues to keep
    its ACM current. The statement of approval must include the airport
    name, the official's title and name, the official's signature, the
    document title, and the date. The approval can be added to a
    signature page at the front of the ACM or, if the ACM has a cover,
    incorporated into the title page.

(2) **FAA Approval.** Prior to issuing an Airport Operating Certificate,
    the FAA must approve an airport operator's ACM. Part 139 requires
    that each page of the ACM show FAA approval and the date of initial
    FAA approval or, if the page has been revised, the date of approval
    for the most recent change. This requirement applies to all aspects
    of the ACM, including appendices, grid maps, the table of contents,
    and the airport sign and marking plan. To facilitate this
    requirement, each ACM page should include a location for indicating
    FAA approval and the approval date. For ease of use, the FAA
    approval block should have a consistent format and location
    throughout the document.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
b.  **Format.** Page layout, assembly and printing, and organization of
    content should be considered during preparation of the ACM.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(1) **Page Layout.** The ACM is a working document that reflects current
    airport conditions. It should be easy to maintain and revise. In
    addition to the date and FAA approval, each page of the ACM should
    specify the page number and document section. The ACM must also
    include a Page Revision Log that can function as an inventory of
    current pages. This log can simply include columns of page numbers
    with space for approval dates alongside. This is a very useful
    device to verify the currency of a page without having to leaf
    through the entire document. It also serves as a checklist for
    maintenance of the ACM as it tracks pages that have been revised,
    added, or deleted.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(3) **Assembly and Printing.** Part 139 requires the airport operator to
    maintain the ACM in printed form. (It can be transmitted to the FAA
    electronically, but the airport operator should confirm in advance
    that the FAA can access the file format used.) A simple format will
    make both the initial assembly and later revisions easier. Odd-sized
    or multicolor media and certain types of bindings (e.g., spiral or
    comb) can complicate the processes of reproduction, insertion,
    filing, and mailing. The FAA suggests the following format for the
    ACM:

    1\. 8 ½ x 11 inch, loose-leaf paper;

    2\. Single-sided, black--and-white printing, except where color is
    specifically required; and

    3\. Assembly in a three-ring binder.

(4) **Organization of Content.** The organization of the ACM should
    follow the sequence of Sections in Part 139 and in Chapter 5 of this
    AC. The Checklists in Appendices 2 and 3 provide additional guidance
    on what should be included in each Section.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
c.  **Dissemination.** Part 139 requires the airport operator to
    distribute applicable portions of the ACM to the airport personnel
    who are responsible for their implementation. The ACM is not
    intended to provide complete instructions for all jobs or
    operational procedures, but it should provide instructions for any
    critical tasks that are necessary for compliance with Part 139.

# CHAPTER 2. ACM OVERVIEW

201. **REQUIRED CONTENTS.** As a general rule, the ACM must contain
     operating procedures, equipment descriptions, responsibility
     assignments, and any other information needed by airport personnel
     to comply with Part 139. In particular, it must address compliance
     with the provisions of Subpart D of Part 139 and any limitations
     imposed by the FAA. This information will vary from airport to
     airport.

     a.  **Provisions of Subpart D.** Subpart D is the main body of
         operational requirements that an airport must meet to obtain
         and hold an Airport Operating Certificate. The ACM must address
         all required provisions of Subpart D, which comprises Sections
         139.301 through 139.343 of the Regulation. The required Subpart
         D provisions depend on the class of the airport. The required
         elements for each class are listed in Section 139.203(b) and in
         Appendix 1 of this AC.

     b.  **Limitations.** The FAA occasionally imposes limitations on
         certificated airports. These limitations can cover a range of
         regulatory provisions. Generally, they deal with unusual
         operational characteristics at an airport, such as a need to
         restrict air carrier operations from using certain areas of the
         airport or to specify aircraft rescue and fire fighting staging
         locations. The ACM must contain copies of any limitation placed
         on the airport by the FAA. Sections of the ACM that discuss
         related provisions of Part 139 must refer to applicable
         limitations.

202. **SPECIAL ELEMENTS OF COMPLIANCE.** While the Subpart D provisions
     that must be included in an ACM vary for each class of airport,
     Subpart D also specifies certain special elements that all ACMs
     must include. In most cases, ACMs address these mandatory elements
     by including them in the detailed narratives for the related
     Subpart D Sections. However, some special elements better lend
     themselves to other forms of presentation, such as tables and
     charts. For example, the airport operator might fulfill the
     requirement to explain lines of succession for airport operational
     responsibility by including an organizational chart and a table of
     the lines of succession, which can be referred to repeatedly
     throughout the ACM.

     a.  **Special Elements Dependent on Airport Conditions.** In
         Section 139.203(b), some of the elements are listed "as
         required by Section . . ­­­­­." This means the element is necessary
         only if a particular Section requires it. For example, if
         airport conditions do not trigger a requirement for a Wildlife
         Hazard Management Plan according to Section 139.337, the ACM
         does not need to include such a plan.

     b.  **Special Elements Not Included in the ACM.** The ACM should
         document any special elements that are not included in the
         manual so a complete accounting of all elements is readily
         available.

203. **GUIDELINES FOR SPECIFICITY.** The central theme and purpose of
     the ACM is embodied in the language of Section 139.203(a). In each
     Section, the ACM should answer the following questions: WHO is
     going to perform the tasks, WHAT do the tasks consist of, HOW are
     they to be performed, and WHEN should they occur. WHO, WHAT, HOW,
     and WHEN are often closely associated, and most instructions will
     need to address all of them.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  **WHO.** The instructions in the ACM should be clear to staff who
    routinely perform the tasks described as well as to staff required
    to act when the usual chain of responsibility and authority is
    temporarily interrupted. The ACM must explain what is required from
    a regulatory standpoint and clearly state who (functional position)
    is primarily responsible for carrying out each function. Since a
    substitute might not normally perform (or directly oversee) a
    required task, the ACM should provide specific instructions about
    critical aspects of the job, including whom to contact if problems
    arise.

b.  **WHAT and HOW.** The WHAT and HOW of ACM instructions refer to the
    tasks assigned to various individuals or departments charged with
    achieving compliance with Part 139. Unless all personnel assigned to
    the task are fully familiar with the regulatory requirement, the ACM
    must provide guidance appropriate to the training and experience of
    the personnel. For example, an instruction in the ACM to the ground
    maintenance crew to "maintain all safety areas in accordance with
    the Regulation" is not useful unless the crew has sufficient
    knowledge of Part 139 requirements. A better approach is to identify
    the physical boundaries of the safety areas and to state clearly how
    surface conditions are to be maintained.

c.  **WHEN.** The timing of tasks will often be triggered by
    circumstances, such as a certain depth of snow accumulation or a
    specific temperature drop. The ACM must clearly define the
    circumstances that trigger action. It must also address the
    frequency of tasks that occur on a regular basis.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
204. **EXEMPTIONS.** An exemption is a legal document granting an
     airport operator relief from a requirement of Part 139. Exemptions
     can be limited to specific periods of time.

     a.  **Applying for an Exemption.** To qualify for an exemption, the
         airport operator must fulfill a number of procedural
         requirements. An exemption is a rulemaking action that triggers
         a chain of events in accordance with 14 CFR Part 11, General
         Rulemaking Procedures. An exemption effectively changes the
         manner in which the airport operator complies with the
         requirements of its Airport Operating Certificate.

     b.  **Exemptions in the ACM.** The ACM must include in one place,
         possibly as an appendix, copies of all current exemptions for
         the airport, including any that pertain to the aircraft rescue
         and fire fighting (ARFF) requirements listed in Sections
         139.117 and 139.119. An index of current exemptions, including
         references to relevant Part 139 Sections, must be included, as
         well.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
205. **DEVIATIONS.** During an emergency requiring immediate action for
     the protection of life and property, the airport operator may
     deviate from Subpart D of Part 139 to the extent required by the
     emergency. Deviations are not associated with any specific
     provision of Part 139, but they can impact the performance of any
     one of them. Should a deviation be necessary, the airport operator
     must as soon as practicable, but not later than 14 days notify the
     FAA of the deviation. If requested by the FAA, the airport operator
     will provide this notification in writing.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  **Example.**

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(1) The airport operator sends the entire ARFF capability off the
    airport in response to a life-threatening fire and, without
    notifying the air carriers, permits normal air carrier operations to
    continue. A deviation should be filed.

    **b. Reporting a Deviation.** The ACM must explain how and when
    airport personnel should notify the FAA of a deviation. The FAA can
    levy a civil penalty against the airport operator for inappropriate
    notification of a deviation.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
206. **VIOLATIONS.** Violations are very serious and can result in
     administrative action, the imposition of a civil penalty, or the
     suspension/revocation of the airport operator's Airport Operating
     Certificate. Airport operators that do not fully understand the
     ramifications of violating Part 139 should contact the Airport
     Certification Safety Inspector (ACSI).

# CHAPTER 3. ACM REVIEW AND REVISION

301. **REVIEW OF THE ACM.** Part 139 requires airport operators to keep
     the ACM current at all times. Careful preparation for the review
     and revision process will ease this task.

     a.  **Lay the Groundwork.** Through its organization, the ACM
         should lend itself to assigning self-contained segments for
         review to person(s) knowledgeable about particular subjects.
         The airport operator should identify who will review various
         parts of the ACM and when these reviews will take place.
         Staggering the review schedule for each section of the ACM will
         ensure that reviewers do not face significant workload
         increases at any one time. Periodic reviews should make
         revision of the ACM easier, but the airport operator must be
         prepared to break with the schedule and update the ACM
         immediately if conditions on the airport change.

     b.  **Establish the Process.** The airport operator must document
         the process for review and revision of the ACM, including how
         to amend it to respond to changing situations at the airport.
         Using the WHO, WHAT, HOW, and WHEN guidelines will help ensure
         that all necessary elements are addressed. The airport operator
         should make sure that everyone involved in the review and
         revision of the ACM is aware of this process.

302. **REVISION AND FOLLOW-UP.** The airport operator must submit an ACM
     amendment to the FAA at least 30 days before its effective date.
     However, airport operators should try to submit amendments as far
     in advance as possible to allow enough time for FAA review and
     approval. If timing issues arise, the airport operator must contact
     the assigned ACSI. The inspector will work with airport management
     to prepare the change as expeditiously as possible and assist in
     keeping the airport in compliance with Part 139. In the case of
     lengthy or complicated changes, the airport operator should discuss
     with the ACSI the possibility of providing a draft for early review
     and consideration. A Page Revision Log summarizing individual page
     and text revisions will help expedite the review process.

     a.  **Sign and Marking Plans.** The sign and marking plan is part
         of the ACM. The airport operator should submit a copy of the
         plan as far in advance as possible to ensure FAA approval
         before the design and procurement phase of related development
         projects. *Airport sign and marking plans must receive FAA
         approval before they are implemented.*

     b.  **Amendments to the ACM.** When a revision to the ACM becomes
         effective, the airport operator must place special emphasis on
         any effected areas of airport operations to ensure personnel
         are aware of changes and understand how the changes might
         impact operations.

# CHAPTER 4. TECHNICAL RESOURCES AND LIMITS OF AUTHORITY

**401. PART 139 AND ADVISORY CIRCULARS.** The FAA publishes ACs on a
broad range of subjects. This paragraph describes how these documents
relate to Part 139.

a.  **General.** ACs usually serve as the FAA's means of publishing
    information of an advisory nature. In the "airports" subject area,
    ACs often provide technical specifications and procedures for the
    design, maintenance, and operation of airports. The information they
    contain has general acceptance in the airport industry and was often
    developed with the participation of various members of the aviation
    community.

b.  **Using Advisory Circulars.** The FAA encourages the use of
    applicable ACs during ACM preparation because they contain methods
    and procedures acceptable to the Administrator. The FAA will
    consider methods of compliance other than those described in ACs,
    but the applicant will need to demonstrate the acceptability of
    alternate methods to the satisfaction of the FAA before implementing
    them. However, in cases in which a regulatory provision or a related
    FAA policy specifies a certain method or procedure, the Regulation
    or policy takes precedence.

ACs frequently contain some material that, while technically valid,
might not be fully applicable to the regulatory purpose. For example,
the provisions of Part 139 specify the minimum requirements that
certificated airports must meet to achieve a certain level of safety.
ACs, however, frequently provide an optimum or state-of-the-art
approach, which might identify methods, materials, and results that
exceed the requirements and/or scope of Part 139. Airport operators
should contact the ACSI if there is any doubt about the applicability of
technical material to Part 139.

While few ACs were developed primarily as regulatory guidance, some of
these documents describe the only methods of complying with certain
requirements of Part 139. AC 150/5240-1, Standards for Airport Markings,
is an example of such an AC. Further, some ACs contain standards that
are mandatory for airports receiving Federal airport assistance.

c.  **Obtaining Advisory Circulars.** Appendix 4 includes a partial
    listing of ACs. It also provides instructions for obtaining these
    ACs as well as a listing of all FAA ACs.

**402. AIRPORT AUTHORITY LIMITS.** A few of the provisions of Part 139,
Subpart D, deal with matters beyond the authority of most airport
operators, including obstruction lights outside airport boundaries and
medical assistance and transportation provided by community sources.
Part 139 acknowledges this by using qualifying language such as "to the
extent practicable" or "which agrees to provide." Part 139 does not
require the airport operator to take actions that exceed its authority.

# CHAPTER 5. CONTENTS OF THE ACM

### **501. PURPOSE OF THIS LISTING.** This Chapter lists the applicable provisions of Part 139, Subpart D, that apply to specific classes of airports. The airport operator must prepare and maintain an ACM that reflects the manner in which the airport will comply with the requirements of these provisions. Except for requirements of a purely administrative nature, all of the items in the ACM should satisfy the questions of WHO, WHAT, HOW, and WHEN, as discussed in paragraph 203 of this AC.  {#purpose-of-this-listing.-this-chapter-lists-the-applicable-provisions-of-part-139-subpart-d-that-apply-to-specific-classes-of-airports.-the-airport-operator-must-prepare-and-maintain-an-acm-that-reflects-the-manner-in-which-the-airport-will-comply-with-the-requirements-of-these-provisions.-except-for-requirements-of-a-purely-administrative-nature-all-of-the-items-in-the-acm-should-satisfy-the-questions-of-who-what-how-and-when-as-discussed-in-paragraph-203-of-this-ac. .unnumbered}

### In addition to addressing the Subpart D provisions, the ACM must address the special elements of compliance referred to in paragraph 202 and any limitations that the FAA has placed on the airport. (Limitations are not covered in this Chapter.) The descriptions and examples presented in this listing do not cover all possible airport situations or all aspects of the Subpart D provisions---this does not mean they are less important or do not need to be included in the ACM. Airport operators should speak to the ACSI if they have any questions about the application of these items and examples or about the contents of the ACM. {#in-addition-to-addressing-the-subpart-d-provisions-the-acm-must-address-the-special-elements-of-compliance-referred-to-in-paragraph-202-and-any-limitations-that-the-faa-has-placed-on-the-airport.-limitations-are-not-covered-in-this-chapter.-the-descriptions-and-examples-presented-in-this-listing-do-not-cover-all-possible-airport-situations-or-all-aspects-of-the-subpart-d-provisionsthis-does-not-mean-they-are-less-important-or-do-not-need-to-be-included-in-the-acm.-airport-operators-should-speak-to-the-acsi-if-they-have-any-questions-about-the-application-of-these-items-and-examples-or-about-the-contents-of-the-acm. .unnumbered}

As indicated below and in Appendix 1, certain Sections are not required
in the ACMs of most Class IV airports. Under certain circumstances,
however, the Administrator might require one or more of these Sections
to be added to a Class IV airport's ACM because of conditions on the
airport. For additional guidance, the airport operator should speak to
its ACSI.

***Airport operators should consider following the order of the Subpart
D when organizing the contents of the ACM. Additional guidance on what
should be included in each section can be found in the Checklists in
Appendix 2 (Class I, II, and III airports) and Appendix 3 (Class IV
airports).***

### **502. SECTIONS OF SUBPART D--OPERATIONS.** {#sections-of-subpart-doperations. .unnumbered}

**SECTION 139.301--Records.** This Section outlines the various records
the airport operator must keep and the duration of time these records
must be retained. To fulfill the requirements of this Section, the ACM
must include a description of the system for maintaining records. In
addition, the airport operator should make sure that airport personnel
know that the credentialed ACSI has the authority to inspect these
records to ensure compliance with Part 139.

**SECTION 139.303--Personnel.** The revised Part 139 requires specific
training and performance documentation. This requirement also covers
airport management and supervisory personnel. To fulfill the
requirements of this Section, the airport operator must---

-   Describe in the ACM the lines of succession of airport operational
    responsibility (preferably in a chart or table) to demonstrate
    accountability and to satisfy one of the special elements of
    compliance.

-   Describe personnel training. The ACM should identify sufficient
    resources, equipment, and provisions for initial and recurrent
    training.

**SECTION 139.305--Paved Areas.** The narrative for this Section and
other Subpart D Sections involving extensive maintenance-type
requirements will probably follow similar patterns in the ACM. Part 139
contains several specific requirements for paved areas that are
available for air carrier use. The requirements are stated in
results-oriented terms and are brief enough to include in the ACM. To
address the requirements of this Section, the airport operator must---

-   Include in the ACM procedures and other information needed by
    airport personnel responsible for maintaining these areas. This
    requirement can be satisfied by including the text from Part 139
    about paved areas. This text will also serve as a reminder that this
    maintenance activity must be accomplished. Airport operators should
    also consult AC 150/5320-6, Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation.

-   Include the description of movement areas that are available for air
    carrier use. This description should not include other paved or
    unpaved areas on your airport (ramps, parking areas, etc.) that may
    be usable by air carriers but that do not fall within the Part 139.5
    definition of an air carrier movement area. The movement area
    definition found in the FAA Aeronautical Information Manual includes
    the provision that, at an airport with an Airport Traffic Control
    Tower (ATCT), a clearance is required prior to entering a movement
    area. This latter definition will be the one used in any letters of
    agreement the airport operator and the ATCT develop to address
    movement areas. If such agreements result in the removal of certain
    pavement segments from the controlled movement areas, the ACM should
    describe this removal and include the agreements.

**SECTION 139.307--Unpaved Areas.** Except in the State of Alaska, this
section rarely appears in an ACM. If, however, the airport has
maintenance procedures for unpaved areas, such as repairing ice runways
or determining the point of abandonment of a frozen surface at spring
thaw, they must be included in the ACM.

**SECTION 139.309--Safety Areas.** Application of Part 139 hinges on the
precise delineation of safety areas. The dimensions of a safety area
frame the obligations the airport operator has with respect to its
maintenance. The safety areas (dimensions) that existed on December 31,
1987, form the basis of the airport operator's maintenance obligations.
If construction, reconstruction, or significant expansion of the runway
or taxiway began after this date, the associated safety area dimensions
must be approved by the Administrator. To address the requirements of
this Section, the airport operator---

-   Must clearly describe in the ACM the location and dimensions of
    safety areas. The description of a safety area is only complete if
    the dimensional data is accompanied by the date those dimensions
    were established in accordance with Part 139.

-   Must include procedures for maintaining safety areas.

-   Should add as an appendix to the ACM an inspection and maintenance
    procedures program plan, required by AC 150/5220-22, paragraph 11,
    if the airport has an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS)
    within a runway safety area.

-   Should include a map or diagram, especially when describing a runway
    safety area that has different dimensions for each end.

**SECTION 139.311--Marking, Signs, and Lighting.** Generally speaking,
the maintenance task associated with this Section is to fix or replace
in-kind broken or missing items. The ACM does not need to address
routine or simple maintenance tasks (e.g., replacing a light that is
burned out), but it should provide enough information to ensure that
personnel can correctly perform more complicated tasks (e.g., replacing
a light that has been significantly damaged or destroyed). Well-written
instructions supplemented by an airport diagram will serve as valuable
insurance against errors. Further guidance is provided in AC
150/5340-26, Maintenance of Airport Visual Aid Facilities.

The ACM must include a plan showing the runway and taxiway
identification system, including the location and inscriptions of signs,
runway markings, and holding position markings as well as descriptions
and procedures for maintaining marking, sign, and lighting systems. To
comply with the requirements of this Section, the airport operator
should---

-   Include in the ACM a legible color diagram of the airport sign and
    marking systems. This can be added as an appendix. The diagram
    should identify signs and markings in the appropriate colors, as
    specified in the current versions of AC 150/5340-1, Standards for
    Airport Markings, and AC 150/5340-18, Standards for Airport Sign
    Systems. This diagram is also referred to as the runway and taxiway
    identification system plan in Part 139 and as the FAA Approved
    Airport Sign Plan. Signs should be graphically depicted *on* the
    plan in close proximity to their locations on the airfield, *not* by
    the number reference to a separate legend or table. Multiple pages
    might be required to support the need for legible graphics.

-   Include contact information for approach lighting maintenance.

-   Address the shielding of airport lighting.

-   Include clear instructions on just how many and in what sequence
    lights may be out before the system is considered inoperative.

**SECTION 139.313--Snow and Ice Control.** AC 150/5200-30, Airport
Winter Safety and Operations, contains technical information that will
help airport operators develop a snow and ice control plan, which is
required by Part 139 for Class I, II, and III airports where snow and
ice conditions exist. If snow and ice conditions rarely occur at the
airport, the ACM should include a statement to this effect. If a chance
of snow or ice exists, however, the airport operator should---

-   Provide specific procedures in the ACM for notifying air carrier
    users of airport movement area conditions.

-   Provide instructions and explain snow removal arrangements for
    preventing interference to navigation aids (NAVAIDs) caused by the
    accumulation of snow.

-   Specify in the ACM who has the authority to initiate snow removal
    operations, especially when procedures require calling in municipal
    or contract assistance.

**SECTION 139.315--Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting: Index
Determination.** To fulfill the requirements of this Section, airport
operators must---

-   State the airport's ARFF Index in the ACM as determined by Part
    139.315(a)(1) and (2).

-   Explain in the ACM what the Index means in terms of aircraft length.
    This explanation should contain information on the longest aircraft
    the Index can serve.

The minimum Index is A. If the airport has an Index higher than A, the
airport operator should specify in the ACM the longest air carrier
aircraft that could use the airport if one or more of the ARFF vehicles
is removed from service. Such information will allow personnel to
promptly notify air carrier station agents if such notification becomes
necessary. Additional equipment, other than that necessary for
fulfilling the Index requirement, might also be available.

**SECTION 139.317--Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting: Equipment and
Agents.** The ACM must include a description of the equipment necessary
to meet the airport's aircraft rescue and fire fighting requirements.
The airport operator should---

-   List in the ACM the ARFF equipment and the type and quantities of
    agent provided/maintained on each vehicle.

-   Specify in the ACM the number and type of portable extinguishers the
    vehicles carry because they can have a bearing on what Index the
    airport can maintain if there is an equipment outage.

-   Ensure that the Underwriters Laboratories rating (such as BC 120) is
    on the equipment and indicated in the ACM because it may have a
    bearing on what Index the airport can maintain if the basic Index A
    vehicle is out of service.

The airport operator must also be sure to include in the exemption
section of the ACM any exemptions to ARFF equipment requirements that
have been granted by the FAA (see paragraph 204).

**SECTION 139.319--Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting: Operational
Requirements.** This is one of the most critical components of the ACM,
and it must include a description of the facilities, personnel, and
procedures necessary to meet the airport's aircraft rescue and fire
fighting requirements. A number of questions should be considered when
addressing this Section:

-   Does the airport operator have full control over the operation of
    the ARFF unit?

-   Can vehicles be dispatched off the airport without the airport
    operator's permission?

-   Is the operator reliably informed whenever an element of ARFF
    becomes inoperative or unavailable for any reason?

To address the ARFF operational requirements, the airport operator
should---

-   Allow ARFF personnel as much flexibility as possible within the
    scope of their mission but build into the ACM procedures for
    activating a fast and reliable information system. This will ensure
    the airport operator is informed when making decisions about air
    carrier operations.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Make it a priority to discuss with the ATCT manager the role of the
    ATCT in emergency operations and the particulars of ATCT
    interactions with the ARFF unit and airport management. It is
    sometimes mutually beneficial to enter into a letter of agreement
    with the ATCT to cover certain activities particular to the airport.
    A copy of any such agreement must be placed in the ACM, possibly as
    an appendix (for example, Letter of Agreement for Emergency
    Services). If the airport does not have an ATCT, the airport
    operator should speak with the Flight Service Station (FSS) or
    Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS).

-   Include in the ACM information about ATCT's role as well as the
    limits beyond which the ATCT is not able to operate.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Describe the alarm system for ARFF response, the requirement for a
    daily test, and the ATCT role in the alarm system and the test.

-   Describe the communications system.

-   Identify required training for ARFF personnel and provisions for
    recurrent training.

-   Address provisions for the availability of at least one person
    trained in basic emergency medical care, as required during air
    carrier operations under Part 139. This person need not be an actual
    member of the ARFF crew but must be available within a reasonable
    time in case of an airport emergency.

-   Address provisions for fire extinguishing agent and HAZMAT response
    standards.

In addition, the airport operator must---

-   Identify any roads designated as Emergency Access Roads. The ACM
    should include instructions to ensure Emergency Access Roads are
    used appropriately and are available for use in the case of an ARFF
    emergency. Before designating Emergency Access Roads, the airport
    operator should understand the obligations that go along with such a
    designation and consider other means of meeting the ARFF response
    time, such as secondary ARFF stations or vehicle standby areas.
    Airport operators should coordinate any such designations with the
    ACSI.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Address, if there is an ATCT on the airport, Discrete Emergency
    Frequency procedures in the ACM, as appropriate. AC 150/5210-7,
    Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Communications, and applicable
    subparagraphs of Section 139.319 contain guidelines that are
    acceptable methods of complying with Part 139.

-   Address the potential for inoperative vehicles. The ACM should
    define what "inoperative" means in the context of Part 139. An
    inoperative vehicle is one that is unable to perform the functions
    required of it by the Regulation. The ACM should provide clear
    instructions for the procedures to be followed and who is to
    accomplish them when a required piece of ARFF equipment becomes
    inoperative.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Address the requirement for ARFF coverage during "air carrier
    operations." Section 139.5, Definitions, explains this terminology.
    Instructions in the ACM should make it clear that each air carrier
    operation will be treated separately when determining the response
    period. The ARFF unit must maintain a response posture for at least
    a half-hour period bracketing the operation (15 minutes before to 15
    minutes after the actual time of the arrival or departure
    operation---not the scheduled time of the operation). The airport
    operator should impress upon air carrier station management the
    importance of keeping airport management and the ARFF unit apprised
    of changes in flight schedules and develop formal procedures to
    assure ARFF availability.

If certain conditions are met, Part 139 permits a temporary reduction in
ARFF presence during periods of air carrier activity using aircraft of
reduced length. To address such reductions, the airport operator must---

-   Specify in the ACM the individual or position with the authority to
    implement the reduction.

-   Describe the procedures to be followed.

-   Document the system that is in place for the recall of the required
    complement of ARFF personnel and equipment.

-   Describe, if there is a requirement for notifying air carrier users
    of the airport before implementing any reduction, how air carriers
    will be notified and who has the responsibility and authority to
    undertake this action.

The airport operator must be sure to include in the exemption section of
the ACM any exemptions to ARFF operational requirements that have been
granted by the FAA (see paragraph 204).

**SECTION 139.321--Handling and Storing of Hazardous Substances and
Materials.** This Section addresses both hazardous materials such as
aircraft cargo (referred to as "HAZMAT") and fuel for the operation of
aircraft (referred to as "fuel"). Whether procedures for handling,
dispensing, and storing hazardous substances and materials must be
included in the ACM depends on what entity functions as the HAZMAT
agent. The airport operator DOES NOT need to include HAZMAT procedures
if it is not the HAZMAT agent. In such cases, only the applicable
Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR Parts 171--180) apply, and the
FAA Office for Security and Hazardous Materials administers the program.
The airport operator, however, DOES need to include HAZMAT procedures in
the uncommon cases in which it serves as the HAZMAT agent. These
procedures must cover the three designations and assurances listed in
Part 139 at Section 139.321(a)(1) through (3).

However, if there is aviation fuel available on the airport, regardless
of who the fueling agents are, the airport operator must---

-   Indicate whether it is or is not the HAZMAT agent.

-   Establish fire safety fuel standards for the airport and include
    them in the ACM. The standards should describe how to accomplish the
    3-month/periodic inspection of tenant fueling facilities, including
    all fuel service vehicles, and the procedures to be initiated should
    noncompliance with the standards be discovered. The ACM should also
    include the inspection checklists for storage facilities and fuel
    service vehicles.

-   Describe the initial and recurrent fueling safety training plan.

**SECTION 139.323--Traffic and Wind Direction** **Indicators.** The ACM
must describe and identify the location of these facilities at the
airport and specify the procedures and responsibilities for maintaining
them.

**SECTION 139.325--Airport Emergency Plan.** AC 150/5200-31, Airport
Emergency Plan, contains technical information that will help the
airport operator develop the Airport Emergency Plan (AEP) required by
Part 139. The AEP is a mandatory part of the ACM, and the guidelines for
specific statements in paragraph 203 about responsibility and function
apply. It must include a grid map or other means of identifying
locations and terrain features. The AEP may be kept as a separate
document or possibly as an appendix that is referenced in the ACM;
however, the content is viewed as part of the approved ACM.

**SECTION 139.327--Self-Inspection Program.** The ACM must include
procedures for a self-inspection program. Self-inspection allows for
monitoring airport conditions and assists airport operators in complying
with other requirements of Part 139. AC 150/5200-18, Airport Safety
Self-Inspection, provides guidance on structuring a comprehensive
program for the airport. Applying the questions of WHO, WHAT, HOW, and
WHEN, discussed in paragraph 203 above, will ensure all of the elements
of an effective inspection program are accomplished. Procedures for
conducting self-inspections must include provisions for documenting any
corrective actions taken. Self-inspections are required before air
carrier operations. Daily inspections are not absolutely required if the
airport has no air carrier activity, but airport operators should be
wary of allowing long intervals to pass between inspections.

To satisfy the requirements of this Section, the airport operator
should---

-   Include the schedule of self-inspections and identify who is
    responsible for performing these inspections.

-   Identify means of obtaining and documenting corrective action taken
    on noted discrepancies.

-   Identify provisions for initial and recurrent training in the five
    subject areas specified in Part 139: (1) Airport
    familiarization, (2) Airport Emergency Plan, (3) Notice to Airmen
    (NOTAM) notification procedures, (4) Procedures for pedestrians and
    ground vehicles in movement areas and safety areas, and (5)
    Discrepancy reporting procedures. This training is in addition to
    that required in Section 139.303.

**SECTION 139.329--Pedestrians and Ground Vehicles.** The ACM of Class
I, II, and III airports must address procedures for controlling access
to movement and safety areas. Stringent control of pedestrians and
ground vehicles can prevent problems on the movement and safety areas.
To address the requirements of this Section, the airport operator
should---

-   Include in the ACM clear and precise procedures for the control of
    pedestrians and ground vehicles and describe the consequences of
    noncompliance.

-   Include vehicle operating procedures for movement/safety areas in
    this section or possibly in an appendix.

-   Identify, if the airport has an ATCT, any procedures or rules that
    have been jointly agreed to with Air Traffic Control, including
    radio or other communications arrangements.

**SECTION 139.331--Obstructions.** The location of marked and lighted
obstructions that fall within the airport's authority and responsibility
must be included in the ACM of Class I, II, and III airports. The ACM
must also describe procedures for removing, marking, and lighting
obstructions. To address the requirements of this Section, the airport
operator should---

-   Consider including with the narrative description a map locating the
    obstructions and keying them to the description.

-   Describe maintenance procedures and responsibilities for lighted
    obstructions in the ACM and specify who to contact in case of an
    outage and how they are to be repaired. An airport can have a
    confusing array of obstruction lights with different parties
    responsible for them according to various lease agreements, contract
    services, etc.

-   Include provisions for airspace evaluations for any proposed
    construction or alteration of the airport.

-   Identify in the ACM each object within the airport operator's area
    of authority that qualifies as an obstruction but that has been
    determined to be "no hazard" by an FAA aeronautical study. This
    information should include the study file reference so it can be
    retrieved if necessary. Airport Layout Plan (ALP) approval by the
    FAA carries the same weight as an aeronautical study with respect to
    those objects depicted on it.

-   Inspect for outages of any obstruction light that can be seen from
    any portion of the airport and report outages to the owners of the
    lights.

-   Consider assigning responsibility for monitoring obstructions to a
    staff position on the airport (for example, the airport operations
    supervisor). If such a position exists, it should be identified in
    the ACM.

**SECTION 139.333--Protection of NAVAIDs.** The ACM of Class I, II, and
III airports must provide procedures for the protection of NAVAIDs. To
address the requirements of this Section, the airport operator should---

-   Explain in the ACM who should be alerted to activity that may
    interfere with the signal from a NAVAID.

-   Include, depending on the placement of the NAVAID, procedures and
    assignments for security patrols, fence maintenance, etc.

-   Describe in the ACM procedures for preventing any interference
    caused by the accumulation of snow (see Section 139.313).

**SECTION 139.335**--**Public Protection.** Part 139 requires the
airport operator of a Class I, II, and III airport to describe how it
intends to provide for public protection. The requirements that address
this subject are oriented toward *inadvertent entry* into an area
containing hazards for the unwary trespasser. The prevention of
intentional entry of airport security areas is within the purview of the
Transportation Security Administration Regulation on airport security.
To address the requirements of public protection, the airport operator
should---

-   Describe in the ACM the measures taken at the airport to prevent
    inadvertent entry by persons or vehicles to any operational areas,
    even if such entry is not considered a security threat. Fencing is
    an obvious method to use, as is conspicuous signing and closed
    gates.

-   Provide for regular surveillance of all of the safeguards on the
    airport for compliance with this provision of Part 139.

**SECTION 139.337--Wildlife Hazard Management.** To address the wildlife
hazard management requirements of this Section, the airport operator of
a Class I, II, and III airport must include one of the following:

1.  A statement of no wildlife activity (unlikely at most airports);

2.  A statement that a Wildlife Hazard Assessment is currently being
    conducted;

3.  A brief statement of the no‑hazard findings from a recent Wildlife
    Hazard Assessment;

4.  A statement that a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan is currently
    being developed; or

5.  A statement that the airport has a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan.
    If a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan has been developed for the
    airport, it must be included in the ACM, possibly as an appendix.

In all cases, the airport operator should---

-   Provide instructions in the ACM to airport personnel about reporting
    wildlife activity, should any be observed.

-   Consider including in the ACM any information about wildlife type
    and activity on the airport if such activity exists.

-   Include, if wildlife activity at the airport triggered a Wildlife
    Hazard Assessment and it was subsequently determined that a Wildlife
    Hazard Management Plan was not required, a brief statement that
    identifies the type and extent of the activity that triggered the
    study. This will serve as an approximate gauge for comparison with
    subsequent wildlife observations when the situation is reevaluated.

**SECTION 139.339--Airport Condition Reporting.** The ACM must include
provisions for airport condition reporting. The AC 150/5200-28, Notices
to Airmen (NOTAMs) for Airport Operators, contains technical information
that will help with the development of this portion of the ACM. To
address condition reporting requirements, the airport operator should---

-   Include in the ACM a statement that the airport operator and its
    staff will report any condition that might affect the safe operation
    of an air carrier operation and the nine subject areas outlined in
    Part 139.

-   Work with airline tenants to devise a satisfactory system of
    information flow and document this system in the ACM. The NOTAM
    system is not a complete solution for adequate notification of air
    carrier users of the airport. Many airports have internal
    communications systems that extend into air carrier agent offices.
    These systems vary, but some allow the air carrier, through its
    local station agents, to receive field condition information from
    airport management before the NOTAM information is public. There are
    also times when field situations occur that may be of interest to
    air carrier users but that are not eligible for NOTAM system
    coverage.

-   Address the need for a letter of agreement at locations where the
    ATCT disseminates field conditions and/or maintains NOTAM records
    for airport management.

**SECTION 139.341--Identifying, Marking, and Lighting Construction and
Other Unserviceable Areas.** The ACM of Class I, II, and III airports
must describe procedures for identifying, marking, and lighting
construction and other unserviceable areas of the airport. Several of
the ACs listed in Appendix 4 have particular applicability to this
Section. AC 150/5370-2, Operational Safety on Airports During
Construction, will help airport operators plan safe operations during
construction and maintenance projects. AC 150/5200-28, Notices to Airmen
(NOTAM) for Airport Operators, explains how to use the NOTAM system for
airport condition reporting.

Periods of construction and maintenance on an airport present special
problems for keeping aircraft and construction machinery and personnel
safely apart. Normal routes for aircraft taxiing and maneuvering are
often disrupted or modified, and standard signing and marking can become
temporarily ineffective or even misleading. To address these conditions,
the airport operator should---

-   Provide instructions in the ACM that marking and lighting
    requirements can be included in construction plans (and costs) at
    the outset.

-   Keep the air carrier users of the airport up to date with NOTAMs and
    other appropriate means of communication.

-   Build responsibilities and functions into the ACM so that all
    parties know what is expected of them.

Planning for construction projects should always address how to avoid
damage to utilities. The importance of the utilities that serve NAVAIDs
and other air carrier facilities calls for special attention to their
protection. The airport operator should designate in the ACM a position
responsible for assuring compatibility of the construction plans with
protection of these critical utilities. The position charged with this
responsibility should have enough authority to require revision of the
plans or suspension of the work activity if necessary.

**SECTION 139.343--Non-Complying Conditions.** If any element of Part
139 is not met to the extent that an uncorrected unsafe condition exists
on the airport, the airport operator must halt air carrier activity on
the unsafe area. The ACM should make this very clear to airport
personnel. The ACM must provide personnel with the procedures to be used
if an unsafe condition is found and describe what actions must be taken.
