... 27 At the foundation of any decision making process resides input information. For example, locations of objects -- potential obstructions -- and characteristics (attributes)

... 28 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports that particular group of planners or by their stakeholders. Sometimes going down these rabbitholes can unearth a treasure trove of contacts that may even be located in offices down the hall or in the next building on a city government campus or airport office complex.

... Using GIS 29 FAA Airports and ATO for further discussion and sharing of resources. As a result, many in offices such as flight procedures, Technical Operations, and National Airspace Planning and Integration, began to leverage access to AGIS data to help them garner a better understanding of NAVAID locations or airspace geometries and make planning decisions in their analysis.

... 30 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports and in many cases with external stakeholders, will benefit any solution in terms of current, accurate data. Although data upkeep is challenging in terms of staff time and resources, lack of investment in such procedures may result in inaccurate analysis and potentially expose the organization to liabilities.
From page 31...
... Using GIS 31 Large municipalities and the largest commercial service airports may have multiple departments and require more extensive coordination and lead time to develop and deploy GIS products. In these constructs, collaboration may actually be more challenging because departments and divisions can become myopic and focus on their individual roles and responsibilities related to tactical implementation (as opposed to the broader strategic objectives)
From page 32...
... 32 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports On-line survey respondents indicated the information generated from GIS analyses is readily produced over time on desktop and laptop computers. However, respondents indicated live results in presentations and meetings tend to elicit better responses from decision makers and senior executives.
From page 33...
... Using GIS 33 Example of Using GIS for Aircraft Noise and Land Use Compatibility Once the process of collecting and analyzing the data collected is in place we can determine the impact in the airport's vicinity. Combining noise data with land use data in a geospatial environment using GIS allows the airport and entities involved, including the communities, to interact and further analyze the data for better community and airport planning decision making.

... Using GIS 35 logically a point layer. Similar information about moving aircraft -- the other end of the physical, three-dimensional obstruction relationship -- technically would complete the description of the proximity of aircraft and objects.

... 36 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports will come from high-accuracy ground survey, acquired for a particular project, or from published federal database information. The airport data accessible via the AirportIQ 5010 Airport Master Records and Reports site is structured in accordance with the FAA Airport Master Record Forms (5010-1 and 5010-2)
