Guidebook on Effective Land Use Compatibility Planning Strategies for General Aviation AirportsGuidebook on Effective Land Use Compatibility Planning Strategies for General Aviation Airports
November 13, 2019
Incompatible land uses can threaten the safe utility of airports and expose people living and working nearby to potentially unacceptable levels of noise or safety risk. At the state level, all 50 states have enacted some form of airport zoning legislation since the 1950s. The majority of states (90 percent) have enacted laws mandating or enabling local governments to adopt, administer, and enfo...

Optimizing the Use of Electric Preconditioned Air (PCA) and Ground Power Systems for AirportsOptimizing the Use of Electric Preconditioned Air (PCA) and Ground Power Systems for Airports
November 4, 2019
As demand for air travel grows, airport-related emissions are increasing and airports are challenged to reduce associated environmental impacts.

Furthermore, airport design and planning decisions have significant impacts on poli...

Emergency Working Groups at AirportsEmergency Working Groups at Airports
September 18, 2019
Airports — especially in the past two decades—have generally sought to promote and increase collaboration among the members of the airport community, particularly between an airport and its airlines. One metric of this trend has been the increase in the number of U.S. airports with full-time emergency managers, from fewer than 10 in 2007 to more than 120 today. Collaboration and increased profe...
