While many things have changed since 1978, ACC’s strength has always been the foresight, innovation, and dedication of its members. We have created this Quick Reference Guide for Airport Consultants as a token of our appreciation for making ACC a success over the past thirty years. This guide will hopefully serve as a quick, all-inclusive reference source for the members of ACC. It is full of relevant aircraft and airport statistics and industry information, packed in a size small enough to fit in the smallest carry-on. This should be an invaluable resource for airport consultants and suppliers who are always on the go. The ACC staff appreciates those who helped make this guide possible. We encourage all who use the Quick Reference Guide to contact ACC with suggestions, amendments, or additions. Sincerely, Paula P. Hochstetler President, Airport Consultants Council November, 2008 5 ACC Resources Guidelines to Selecting Airport Consultants Member firms of the Airport Consultants Council assist airport sponsors, agencies and airlines in developing airport facilities. Airport consultants provide technical advice and services to sponsors on the development, improvement, and expansion of airports, and they are very knowledgeable in their respective areas of expertise. Airport project sponsors are encouraged to consider the following guidelines when procuring consultants services. FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS Federal regulations require a Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) process for selecting consultants for projects funded entirely or partially with FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds. This includes consultant selection and procurement by sponsors, States, and the FAA’s regional Airports Divisions. The current version of FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5100-14 entitled Architectural, Engineering, and Planning Consultant Services for Airport Grant Projects provides guidance for the consultant selection process. The Advisory Circular states that, “Consultants must be engaged on the basis of their qualifications and experience, with fees determined through negotiations following selection.” In fact, the request for fees or costs during the selection process is considered by FAA to be contrary to Federal law, even if requested in a separate sealed envelope. The term “fees and costs” also includes items from which costs may be inferred such as man-hour requirements and hourly rates. The Advisory Circular spells out the selection procedure in detail. The Airport Consultants Council fully endorses the Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) procedure. Airport sponsors and all other parties involved are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Advisory Circular. WHEN YOU NEED A CONSULTANT »» Review your project to determine what is required and expected of the consultant. Identify goals and objectives of the project. Develop a scope of services or set of specifications describing the need. »» Determine the services offered by consultants in this directory or other reputable sources. To ensure the broadest publicity in obtaining consultant services, public announcements should be advertised in local newspapers with a wide circulation and national trade journals, magazines and other resources such as ACC Outlook. »» Announcements should include a description of the proposed project and its location, a description of the services, the project schedule, selection criteria, and the estimated range of construction costs. The public announcement should allow at least three weeks for submission of the statement of qualifications. 6 WHAT TO CONSIDER »» The particular relevant experience and ability of each consultant to meet the requirements of the assignment. Only the previous experience of the company’s proposed personnel should be considered. »» Past performance of each company in similar projects. It is important to call and talk with previous clients. »» Previous record of each company in completing assignments on time and within budget. »» The overall resources of each company and the depth of personnel available for your project. THE REFERENCE CHECK The reference check is most important. You should determine the following about each consulting company that you are considering: »» »» »» »» »» What are the backgrounds of the principals and key staff? What kind of clients has the company served? How long has the company been in business? How much of the company’s business is for repeat clients? How much time will principals of the company devote to the project? THE SELECTION PROCESS »» Select a committee or panel to establish a well-defined scoring system and rate the Statements of Qualifications (SOQs). »» Rank each short-listed company based on your own qualifications-based selection criteria. »» Select a small number of short-listed companies (approximately three firms) to submit proposals. If more input is necessary, personal interviews are appropriate. Allow each company to visit your facility prior to submitting their qualification, if desired. »» Avoid elaborate proposal requirements and interviews, when possible. These add considerably to the selection process cost, both to you and the consultants. »» Enter into negotiations with respect to the project scope of work, level of effort, schedule and fees with the top-ranked company. Have the selected consultant prepare a detailed work scope and corresponding fee estimate to be used in contract negotiations. »» Select a fee basis that is mutually acceptable to you and your consultant that reflects the conditions and value of the assignment. Customary fee plans include: lump sum, time and materials, cost plus fixed fee, per diem with upset limit and retainer. Complete an independent fee estimate for professional services in accordance with the current version of AC 150/5100-14 before negotiating a professional services contract. »» Avoid broad form indemnification language in contracts since it violates FAA regulations and jeopardizes federal eligibility for airport projects. »» If, for whatever reason, you are unable to reach financial agreement with your selected company, negotiations may be terminated and begun with the next company on your list. PROBLEMS TO AVOID »» Lengthy selection process. Keep to a minimum the time between asking for qualifications and making a final selection. Sixty days is a reasonable maximum. »» Competition for the sake of competition. Don’t pre-select a favored company and then invite others so that a guise of competition is created. Next time, qualified companies may not respond. »» Evaluating the technical competence of the consultant without having adequate technical experience available for the screening committee. »» Price competition on non-federally funded projects. Of course price is important. But it is more important to be sure that low prices are not based on low quality, poor performance, or a lack of experience or understanding of the project.

Improving the Quality of Airport Projects: ACC/FAA Best Practices — 2008 The Best Practices document provides airport consultants and FAA staff guidelines on how to improve communications and relationships, with the overall goal of enhancing the airport project delivery process. The updated version contains new sections and enhancements, and has been structured to follow the development of an airport project. It is an important tool to help consultants and FAA navigate the complexities of improving our nation’s airports. FAA Advisory Circular 150/5100-14D — 2005 Contracting for Planning, Architectural and Engineering Services This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance for airport sponsors in the selection and engagement of architectural, engineering, and planning consultants. It also discusses services that normally would be included in an airport grant project, types of contracts for these services, contract format and provisions, and guidelines for determining the reasonableness of consultant fees. Consultant Teaming Guidelines — 2006 These consultant teaming guidelines and checklist have been developed by the ACC to facilitate the consultant teaming process. Consultants are encouraged to use these guidelines and checklist to facilitate communication among team members, particularly regarding each member’s roles and responsibilities, prior to initiating the pursuit of a project. Airport Owner’s Guide to Project Delivery Methods — 2006 This white paper presents a list of the widely used project delivery systems (PDS) and offers guidance in selecting the most advantageous PDS. The document analyzes what conditions influence project success and 8 discusses the types of project conditions for which each PDS is most applicable and offers the greatest potential to deliver a successful project. Construction Resident Representative — 2003 Developed by the Best Procurement Practice Committee, this document summarizes several key benefits to an airport for engaging the professional services of a consultant for Construction Resident Representative. 9 Guidelines & Factsheets NAS Implementation Facts This is the FAA’s National Airspace System fact sheet for implementation. TSA Planning Guidelines and Design Standards for Checked Baggage Inspection Systems Also known as the BSIS (Baggage Screening Investment Study) Guidelines, these Guidelines were developed as an industry reference for airport operators, airlines, planners, and designers who will be instrumental in implementing improved checked baggage screening systems. The focus is on in-line explosive detection systems. TSA Recommended Security Guidelines for Airport Planning Design & Construction This document presents recommendations for incorporating sound security considerations into the planning, design, construction, and modification of security-related airport facilities and airport terminal buildings. TSA Biometric Guidance for Airport Access This guidance package addresses biometrics for airport access control. Access control addresses the examination of one or more of three factors regarding an individual’s identity: something they know, something they have, or something they are. Biometrics is the field of technology devoted to identifying individuals using biological traits or “something they are.” 10 Common Acronyms 11 Common Acronyms A A/C — Aircraft A/G — Air to Ground A/H — Altitude/Height AAC — Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center AAF — Army Air Field AAI — Arrival Aircraft Interval AAP — Advanced Automation Program AAR — Airport Acceptance Rate ABDIS — Automated Data Interchange System Service B ACAIS — Air Carrier Activity Information System ACAS — Aircraft Collision Avoidance System ACC — Airports Consultants Council ACC — Area Control Center ACCT — Accounting Records ACD — Automatic Call Distributor ACDO — Air Carrier District Office ACF — Area Control Facility ACFO — Aircraft Certification Field Office ACFT — Aircraft ACI-NA — Airports Council International - North America ACID — Aircraft Identification ACIP — Airport Capital Improvement Plan ACLS — Automatic Carrier Landing System ACLT — Actual Landing Time Calculated ACO — Office of Airports Compliance and Field Operations ACO — Aircraft Certification Office ACRP — Airport Cooperative Research Program ADA — Air Defense Area ADAP — Airport Development Aid Program ADAS — AWOS Data Acquisition System ADCCP — Advanced Data Communications Control Procedure ADDA — Administrative Data ADF — Automatic Direction Finding ADI — Automatic De-Ice and Inhibitor ADIN — AUTODIN Service ADIZ — Air Defense Identification Zone ADL — Aeronautical Data-Link ADLY — Arrival Delay ADO — Airline Dispatch Office ADP — Automated Data Processing ADS — Automatic Dependent Surveillance ADSIM — Airfield Delay Simulation Model ADSY — Administrative Equipment Systems ADTN — Administrative Data Transmission Network ADTN2000 — Administrative Data Transmission Network 2000 ADVO — Administrative Voice AEG — Aircraft Evaluation Group AERA — Automated En-Route Air Traffic Control AEX — Automated Execution AF — Airway Facilities AFB — Air Force Base AFIS — Automated Flight Inspection System AFP — Area Flight Plan AFRES — Air Force Reserve Station AFS — Airways Facilities Sector AFSFO — AFS Field Office AFSFU — AFS Field Unit AFSOU — AFS Field Office Unit (Standard is AFSFOU) AFSS — Automated Flight Service Station AFTN — Automated Fixed Telecommunications Network AGL — Above Ground Level AID — Airport Information Desk AIG — Airbus Industries Group AIM — Airman’s Information Manual AIP — Airport Improvement Plan AIRMET — Airmen’s Meteorological Information AIRNET — Airport Network Simulation Model AIS — Aeronautical Information Service AIT — Automated Information Transfer ALP — Airport Layout Plan ALS — Approach Lighting System ALSF1 — ALS with Sequenced Flashers I ALSF2 — ALS with Sequenced Flashers II ALSIP — Approach Lighting System Improvement Plan ALTRV — Altitude Reservation AMASS — Airport Movement Area Safety System AMCC — ACF/ARTCC Maintenance Control Center AMOS — Automated Meteorological Observation Station AMP — ARINC Message Processor (OR) Airport Master Plan AMVER — Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue System ANC — Alternate Network Connectivity ANCA — Airport Noise and Capacity Act ANG — Air National Guard ANGB — Air National Guard Base ANMS — Automated Network Monitoring System ANSI — American National Standards Group AOA — Air Operations Area AP — Acquisition Plan APP — Approach APS — Airport Planning Standard AQAFO — Aeronautical Quality Assurance Field Office ARAC — Army Radar Approach Control (AAF) ARAC — Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee ARCTR — FAA Aeronautical Center or Academy ARF — Airport Reservation Function ARFF — Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting ARINC — Aeronautical Radio, Inc.

The distances are: Takeoff run available (TORA). The runway length declared available and suitable for the ground run of an airplane taking off; Takeoff distance available (TODA). The TORA plus the length of any remaining runway or clearway (CWY) beyond the far end of the TORA; NOTE: The full length of TODA may not be usable for all takeoffs because of obstacles in the departure area. The usable TODA length is aircraft performance dependent and, as such, must be determined by the aircraft operator before each takeoff and requires knowledge of the location of each controlling obstacle in the departure area. Accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA). The runway plus stopway (SWY) length declared available and suitable for the acceleration and deceleration of an airplane aborting a takeoff; and Landing distance available (LDA). The runway length declared available and suitable for a landing airplane. Fixed By Function NAVAID.

Equipment shelters, junction boxes, transformers, and other appurtenances that support a fixed by function NAVAID are not fixed by function unless operational requirements require them to be located in close proximity to the NAVAID. b. Some NAVAIDs, such as localizers, can provide beneficial performance even when they are not located at their optimal location. These NAVAIDS are not fixed by function. Frangible NAVAID. A navigational aid (NAVAID) which retains its structural integrity and stiffness up to a designated maximum load, but on impact from a greater load, breaks, distorts, or yields in such a manner as to present the minimum hazard to aircraft. The term NAVAID includes electrical and visual air navigational aids, lights, signs, and associated supporting equipment. Hazard to Air Navigation.

Obstacle Clearance Surface (OCS). An inclined obstacle evaluation surface associated with a glidepath. The separation between this surface and the glidepath angle at any given distance from GPI defines the MINIMUM required obstruction clearance at that point. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ). The OFZ is the airspace below 150 feet (45 m) above the established airport elevation and along the runway and extended runway centerline that is required to be clear of all objects, except for frangible visual NAVAIDs that need to be located in the OFZ because of their function, in order to provide clearance protection for aircraft landing or taking off from the runway, and for missed approaches. The OFZ is sub-divided as follows: Runway OFZ. The airspace above a surface centered on the runway centerline. 28 Inner-approach OFZ. The airspace above a surface centered on the extended runway centerline. It applies to runways with an approach lighting system. Inner-transitional OFZ.

The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) was authorized in December 2003 as part of the Vision 100-Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. In October 2005, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) executed a contract with the National Academies, acting through its Transportation Research Board (TRB), to serve as manager of the ACRP. Program oversight and governance are provided by representatives of airport operating agencies. The ACRP carries out applied research on problems that are shared by airport operating agencies and are not being adequately addressed by existing federal research programs. The ACRP undertakes research and other technical activities in a variety of airport subject areas including design, construction, maintenance, operations, safety, security, policy, planning, human resources, and administration. RESEARCH NEEDS Problem statements, describing research needs, may be submitted to ACRP by anyone at any time. Problem statements that will be considered for inclusion in the following fiscal year is are due sometime in April. It should be understood that problem statements are not proposals to conduct the research but are used to identify potential research needs only. Problem statements selected by the ACRP Oversight Committee will be the basis for Requests for Proposals that will be issued by TRB and used to select contractors based on competitive proposals. If you have a research need that you would like to submit for consideration, we request that you describe it in accordance with the Problem Statement Outline and submit it electronically by e-mail to ACRP@NAS.EDU. If sent electronically, our preference is for you to include the statement in Microsoft Word format as an attachment to an e-mail message. The problem statement may also be submitted in the text of an e-mail message. Please note that problem statements need not be lengthy; 1-2 pages should be sufficient to describe the research topic in the requested format. Paper copies of problem statements also may be submitted by US Mail to Christopher W. Jenks at the address below or by facsimile to his attention at (202) 334-2006. 114 PROJECT PANELS Each project is assigned to a panel, appointed by the Transportation Research Board, which provides technical guidance and counsel throughout the life of the project. Panels include experienced practitioners and research specialists; heavy emphasis is placed on including members representing the intended users of the research products. The panels prepare project statements and select contractors based on evaluation of the proposals received; they guide the projects and review the reports. As in other TRB activities, ACRP project panel members serve voluntarily without compensation. SELECTION OF CONTRACTORS The process for selecting ACRP researchers has been used by TRB in managing cooperative research programs for more than 40 years. This open process allows all potential research agencies to compete on the basis of technical merit, and ensures that all proposers are treated fairly and that the program has access to the best talent available for each project. Proposals from potential research contractors are evaluated by the project panels. The evaluation considers the following: (1) the proposer’s demonstrated understanding of the problem; (2) the merit of the proposed research approach and experiment design; (3) experience, qualifications, and objectivity of the research team in the same or closely related areas; (4) the plan for promoting application of results; (5) the proposer’s plan for participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises--small firms owned and controlled by minorities or women; and (6) the adequacy of the facilities. Selected agencies perform research under contract to the National Academies, guided by a Procedural Manual for Agencies Conducting Research in the Airport Cooperative Research Program. PRODUCTS Primary emphasis is placed on disseminating ACRP results to the intended end-users of the research: airport operating agencies, service providers, and suppliers. The relevant industry associations will play key roles in making research information available through their committee structures. The ACRP will produce a series of research reports for use by airport operators, local agencies, FAA, and other interested parties; industry associations may arrange for workshops, training aids, field visits, and other activities to ensure that results are implemented by airport-industry practitioners. 115 STATUS The ACRP started in October 2005, when a Memorandum of Agreement was executed by the cooperating parties, and FAA provided funds to begin the program. The ACRP Oversight Committee (AOC) was appointed by Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta and held its first meeting in January to establish operating procedures for the ACRP and to prioritize research needs. The AOC met again in July 2006, January 2007, July 2007, and January 2008. As of February 1, 2008, 96 ACRP studies have been authorized. General ACRP Facts as of July 2008 Funding: FY 2005 $3 million FY 2006 $10 million FY 2007 $10 million FY 2008 $10 million FY 2009 $15 million (anticipated) Studies in progress: 64 Studies completed: 23 Number of panel slots (active projects): 404 Problem Statements considered: 487* (includes FY 2009) Proposals: 314 (6.0 per project average) Proposers: 184 (primes) CONTACT To submit a research problem statement or to request further information on ACRP, write or call: Christopher W.

Second Freedom of the Air - the right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, granted by one State to another State or States to land in its territory for non-traffic purposes (also known as a Second Freedom Right). Third Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, granted by one State to another State to put down, in the territory of the first State, traffic coming from the home State of the carrier (also known as a Third Freedom Right). Fourth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, granted by one State to another State to take on, in the territory of the first State, traffic destined for the home State of the carrier (also known as a Fourth Freedom Right). Fifth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, granted by one State to another State to put down and to take on, in the territory of the first State, traffic coming from or destined to a third State (also known as a Fifth Freedom Right). ICAO characterizes all “freedoms” beyond the Fifth as “so-called” because only the first five “freedoms” have been officially recognized as such by international treaty. Sixth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, of transporting, via the home State of the carrier, traffic moving between two other States (also known as a Sixth Freedom Right). The so-called Sixth Freedom of the Air, unlike the first five freedoms, is not incorporated as such into any widely recognized air service agreements such as the “Five Freedoms Agreement”. Seventh Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, granted by one State to another State, of transporting traffic between the territory of the granting State and any third State with no requirement to include on such operation any point in the territory of the recipient State, i.e the service need not connect to or be an extension of any service to/from the home State of the carrier. Eighth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, of transporting cabotage traffic between two points in the territory of the granting State on a service which originates or terminates in the home country of the foreign carrier or (in connection with the so called Seventh Freedom of the Air) outside the territory of the granting State (also known as a Eighth Freedom Right or “consecutive cabotage”). Ninth Freedom of The Air - the right or privilege of transporting cabotage traffic of the granting State on a service performed entirely within the territory of the granting State (also known as a Ninth Freedom Right or “stand alone” cabotage).
