**Airport Design****Advisory Circular 5300-13 ****TERPS/Change 8**
**Seattle April 21, 2004**

## Briefing Objectives

**AOSC Briefing**
**TERPS & Change 8 to AC 150/5300-13 **
**Airports Survey Initiative **
**Questions**

## Airport Obstructions Standards Committee (AOSC) 

**Airport Obstructions Standards Committee (AOSC)**** **

**The AOSC was Chartered  May 2003**
**The Purpose of the AOSC is to coordinate national policy across all FAA lines of business relating to airspace/obstructions as it relates to airports.**
**Current Ongoing AOSC programs:**
**AOSC Decision document 01, dated Dec 18****th****, 2003**
**(Covering POFA and runway separation implementation)**
**Tall ATCT Towers**
**End-Around Taxiways**
**DP/IAP  Airspace**
**Surveys**

## POFA 

**POFA**** **

**POFA as defined in the decision document:**
-        *The requirement to clear the POFA applies when an aircraft on a vertically guided final approach is within 2 nautical miles of the runway threshold and the reported ceiling is below 250 feet and/or visibility less than 3⁄4 SM (or runway visual range below 4,000 feet).  If the POFA is not clear, the MINIMUM authorized height above touchdown (HAT) and visibility is 250 feet and 3⁄4 statute mile (SM).  The POFA is considered clear even if the wing of the aircraft holding on a taxiway waiting for runway clearance penetrates the POFA; however, neither the fuselage nor the tail may infringe on the POFA.  *
**POFA will be required no later than January 2007.**

## Runway to Taxiway Separation 

**Runway to Taxiway Separation**** **

**With Change 19 to TERPS, Separation standards for large aircraft(group 5) need to be 500 feet for unrestricted operations:**
**AOSC set the following actions in place:**
-    Identify those locations where dual taxiways or alternate surface movement areas can satisfy the runway / taxiway separation criteria agreed upon by the AOSC.
-    Attempt to establish operational mitigations, with a focus on modifying taxi routes, restricting Group V/VI aircraft operations, or increasing the hold line distance.
-    Implement operational mitigations where they are possible without causing significant operational impacts.
-    Evaluate those airports that are found to have no acceptable mitigation (without significant operational impact) and perform a risk determination for the group before determining possible next actions.

## TERPS Par. 251 Requirements

**TERPS Par. 251 Requirements**

**Change 17 to TERPS Required an Evaluation of Penetrations to the 20:1 surface**
**Penetrations Not Removed or Lighted would Lose Night Minima (Later TERPS Changes Allowed the Use of a VGSI as a mitigation Tool)**
**New AFS/AVN/AAS policy is being established**
- AVN will Identify Impacted Procedures to the Airport Sponsor.
- The Airport Working with the ADO will have 3 years to Implement Address Obstruction(s) or Lose Night Minima.

## What’s Coming in Change 8/9?

**What’s Coming in Change 8/9?**

** ****Two New Departure Surfaces :**
-  For All Instrument Runways
-  For Runways Supporting Commercial Service
** ****Revised OFZ  Surfaces:**
-  LPV
-  Cat I
-  CAT II/III
** ****NEW POFA(POFZ) Guidance**

## What’s Coming in Change 8(Con’t) 

**What’s Coming in Change 8****(Con’t) **

** ****New Guidance on APV (LPV)**
- New Appendix 16 requirements
- New Appendix 2 trapezoids
**WAAS and LAAS added to NAVAIDS **
** ****New ALP  Requirements  **
- New AC incorporating FAA #405
- Replacement of Appendix 7 with new spatial standard
**Design Group Changes incorporating  tail height  **

## New Departure Surfaces

**New Departure Surfaces**

** ****Two Surfaces:**
-  Surface for All Instrument Departures:
- Proposed Trapezoid Extending out 10,200 feet.
- Proposed 1:40 Surface.
- Will Follow the Same Requirements of an Instrument Approach Surface.
-  Surface for all Air carrier departures:
- Proposed Trapezoid Extending out 10,200 feet, Following Annex 6 Engine out Requirements
-  Proposed  1:62.5 Surface.
-  Will Not be a Clearance Surface

## All Instrument Runways

## Airports Survey Initiative Pilot Program

**Airports Survey Initiative**** Pilot Program**

## Airports Survey Initiative Purpose

**Airports Survey Initiative**** Purpose**

**Eliminate the FAA’s use of NGS for field surveys and Transition the Survey to Private Contractors **
**Allow 405 surveys conducted by third party surveyors to use  Federal Grants as well as other State & Local Aviation Resources.**
**Standardize the Survey Process in a Cost-Effective and Expedited Manner**
**Increase the Number of Surveys Conducted Annually**
**Provide a standard GIS database capable of  producing  Digital ALPs and OC Drawings.**

## Airports Survey Initiative Objectives

**Create a Standardized Process for Conducting Aeronautical Surveys**
**Create an Airport Geographic Information (GIS) System Website and Database**
**Create a Detailed Set of Instruction Manuals for Conducting Obstruction Surveys in Accordance with *****FAA Spec 405, Standards for Aeronautical Survey and Related Products***

## Airports Survey Initiative Objectives(Con’t)

**Develop Technical Guidance, Instructions and Templates on Conducting Aeronautical Surveys for Airport Managers & Surveyors, Electronically Accessible**
**Develop Tools for Airports and Surveyors to Capture and Provide Survey Data in Digital Form**
**Consolidate all FAA Airport Data Requirements into a New Standard for Airport Layout Data for FAA and Industry**

## Program Resources  

**Program Resources  **

**Four new Airports Advisory Circulars:**
-  AC- 150/5XXXX, Data Standards for Airport Layout &  Surveys.
-  AC- 150/5XXXX,  Establishment of Geodetic Control
-  AC- 150/5XXXX, Airport Imagery Collection and Submission
-  AC- 150/5XXXX, Survey Data Collection & Submission
**Program will be fully Web Enabled at:**
