DESCRIPTION
The three-week course consists of classroom
instruction and laboratory exercises.
Course content includes application
of FAR 77 criteria; evaluation of aeronautical
effect; issuance of hazard/no-hazard
determinations; obstruction marking
and lighting; FAR 157 and Airport
Improvement Program (AIP), airport
processing, and issuance of airport airspace
determinations.
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the course, participants
will be able to:
- Identify documents and language pertinent
to the Obstruction Evaluation and
Airport/Airspace Analysis program
(OE/AAA), and explain the responsibilities
of each ATS service in the program.
- Describe the duties and functional relationships
of the four operating services
in processing non-rulemaking airport
(NRA), non-rulemaking (NR), and
related proposals and documents.
- Interpret data, plot coordinates and
draw headings on maps and charts.
- Conduct an airport airspace review
including circularization to the public.
- Evaluate the aeronautical effect of an
airport proposal, prepare an airspace
finding and public notice, and describe
post determination actions required by
the air traffic and airport services.
- Apply criteria to identify those construction
proposals that exceed FAR 77
notice criteria and/or obstruction standards
and describe airport design standards.
- Identify those construction proposals
that could adversely affect components
of the National Airspace System.
- Apply criteria and identify those construction
proposals that require marking
and/or lighting, acknowledge proposals,
and make distribution.
- Initiate aeronautical studies, circularize
proposals, evaluate aeronautical effect,
and negotiate as necessary.
- Given study data, determine if a structure
would create a substantial adverse
effect.
- Prepare an obstruction evaluation
determination and explain the petition
and review process.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is primarily designed for air
traffic, aviation standards, airports, and
airway facility personnel involved in the
obstruction evaluation and airport/airspace
analysis programs at the regional/
headquarters level.
