50 Appendix A: The Aviation Library A large library of documents exist to help direct and guide airport activities. In addition to local and state resources, there are federal regulations, advisory circulars, and orders, and industry group publications. Information about these follows. Lo c al Useful information at the local level includes: ⢠The airportâs layout plan and master plan; ⢠The airportâs rules and regulations; ⢠The airportâs minimum standards; and ⢠Local ordinances and land use plan. State Several state aviation offices have published guidance and websites that provide useful information regarding aviation airport programs. Federal An extensive set of federal regulations govern aviation activities, including airports, pilots, general aviation, and airlines. These are found in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The CFR is broken into various titles that in turn are divided into Parts. All federal regulations can be found on the web at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr. The following are some of the most frequently referenced regulations: Title 14 Part 1 Definitions and Abbreviations Title 14 Part 77 Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace Title 14 Part 91 General Operating and Flight Rules Title 14 Part 121 Air Carrier Certification Title 14 Part 135 Operating Requirements for Commuter and On-Demand Aircraft Title 14 Part 139 Certification and Operations: Land Airports Serving Certain Air Carriers Title 14 Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Planning Title 49 Part 18 Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants Title 49 Part 1542 Airport Security The FAA makes available a series of advisory circulars (ACs) to help persons understand and apply standards for the planning, operation, maintenance, design, and construction of airports.
