  9. Airports GIS Transition Policy | Premise Airports GIS ACs were applied too broadly too quickly • Estimated 4,000 projects per year (staff is already very busy) • One size of requirement does not fit all project types • Industry and FAA have a steep learning curve • Airports GIS system and processes not ready to handle demand • ACs have kinks that need to be worked out Transitioning is the key to realizing program (and NextGen) benefits • Program requirements need to be transitioned in practically • Phased in to airports by size and relevance to NAS • Enforce compliance as appropriate by project • Improve awareness, education and support

  10. Transition Policy | Proposed Next Steps • Initiate/enforce requirements when there is a “triggering event” • Any change to safety critical data, such as: • New or lengthened runway • Instrument procedure design • Master Plan / eALP update • Then phase in (by relevance to NAS) • Large/Medium Hubs: Now (FY10-11) • Small/Non Hubs: 1 year (FY12) • Top Non Primary: 2 years (FY13) • Middle Tier GA: 3 Years (FY14) • Lower Tier GA: 4 Years (FY15) Meanwhile, encourage the use of CADD standards identified in -18 • draft Transition Policy | 2½ pages • 67 comments from the field! • 11 comments from APP-1/AAS-1

Transition Policy | draft Timeline FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 Other GA* Unless Triggering Event & Encourage CAD Compliance Phase In by Airport Hub Size and Relevance Middle Tier GA* A Top Non-Primary Small and Non Hub Airports Large & Medium Hub Airports APP Policy “Right-Size” requirements New Tech B Revise AC-18 Data Verification (where necessary) Prioritized Verification Appox. level of effort Outreach & Education C IDLE Support Awareness Today

  12. Working Draft Policy | Potential Near-Term Updates • Update to incorporate adoption of Transition Policy • Identify data required (or optional) by project type • Define where data is relevant and collected • Update changes to data verification process • NGS only verifies data for procedure design • FAA/airport verifies data for planning and identification • Reevaluate accuracy requirements • Enable the use of more cost effective technology (satellite and LiDAR) Consider Field sentiment | enable the Regions to “right size” the requirements to their specific project needs

  13. Looking Forward | eALP Transition End State Today Near Term 2011-2012 2012-2015 2015 + • Airports GIS data collection and submittal • Sponsor/FAA access to data through Airports GIS • Legacy ALP (paper or PDF) • Legacy ALP coordination and approval process • Airports GIS data collection and submittal • Sponsor/FAA access to data through Airports GIS • Electronic Signatures (submittal and approval) • eALP (geo-referenced PDF) with legacy ALP review and approval process • Airports GIS data collection and submittal • Sponsor/FAA access to data through Airports GIS • Electronic eALP submittal • Electronic eALP review and approval through Airports GIS • Geo-referenced PDF (for use outside Airports GIS) Limited e-Capability Increasing Efficiency Optimized Efficiency

  15. Airports GIS | Business Case Analysis (BCA) The FAA Office of Airports is preparing a Business Case Analysis for Airports GIS. Data and conclusions from the Business Case Analysis will be used to further guide the development and implementation processes of Airports GIS based on a review of the eALP Pilot Program and general lessons learned. We also want to better understand the full potential use of the data collected as part of the Airports GIS program, including internal and external FAA uses, and data that will be used in support of NextGen. For example, the Business Case Analysis will be used to provide financial data for the FAA’s Investment Analysis of its Aeronautical Information Management (AIM). AIM is the FAA source for collecting, validating, storing, maintaining, and disseminating aeronautical data concerning the United States and its territories to support real-time aviation activities.

  16. Airports GIS | Business Case Analysis | NextGen Airport GIS provides accurate and up-to-date maps of airport facilities and equipment that is essential to NextGen systems and capabilities. As a result, Airports GIS is a key enabler for NextGen implementation. FAA office of Airports (ARP) is supporting the development of such a NextGen capability through the collection, formatting, and uploading of airport and aeronautical data as specified in the Airport Surveying-GIS Program. Because Airports GIS is part of NextGen, the Benefit Case Analysis must follow the general guidelines of the FAA Acquisition Management Policy (AMP) and Financial Investment Process. The BCA is being prepared in parallel to the Investment Analysis being conducted for AIM.

  17. Airports GIS | Business Case Analysis | Capabilities Key system capabilities/data to be assed in the BCA: Improved Collaboration: Immediately share comments and questions with FAA, airport, and consultant stakeholders for more efficient and effective resolution. Thorough Analysis: Measure heights, distances, and clearances of runways, taxiways, obstacles and other features in comparison with design standards. Access to Multiple Sources of Information: Gain one-stop access to a variety of airport mapping, operations, financial, and other data sources. Better Decisions: interpret information and make decisions (e.g. flight procedure minimums, protected critical areas, modifications to standards, and other safety determinations) faster and with greater confidence because data is consistently presented, current, comprehensive, and assured to be the required quality.

  18. Airports GIS | How will GIS help us do our job better and how often will we use Airports GIS data? Grant Review and Approval Project Eligibility Requirements Compatible Land Use Master Plans/ALP Obstruction Evaluation (OE) Database/Airspace Determination Runway Safety Area Determination • Airports GIS will provide data to support airport construction, land-use planning, environmental compliance, categorical exclusions, recording of NAVAID records, 3-D visualization, and integration into other GIS efforts. • Think about how we currently refer to geospatial data/maps related to: • Environmental/NEPA • Design Review • Conformity to Plans and Specifications (As-Builts) • Safety and Construction Phasing • Compliance/Grant Obligations • Land Acquisition
