Letter from ACC President
During the past thirty years the Airport Consultants
Council has evolved into the most recognized technical expert
voice of airport development. 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

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.

airport’s usable runway expressed in feet
above mean sea level (MSL).
Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The plan of an airport showing the layout of existing and proposed
airport facilities.
Airport Reference Point (ARP). The latitude and longitude of the approximate center of the airport.
Blast Fence. A barrier used to divert or dissipate jet blast or propeller wash.
Building Restriction Line (BRL). A line which identifies suitable building area locations on airports.

Clearway (CWY). A defined rectangular area beyond the end of a runway cleared or suitable for use
in lieu of runway to satisfy takeoff distance requirements.
Compass Calibration Pad. An airport facility used for calibrating an aircraft compass.
27
Declared Distances. The distances the airport owner declares available for the airplane’s takeoff run,
takeoff distance, accelerate-stop distance, and landing distance Requirements. 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. An air navigation aid (NAVAID) that must be positioned in a particular location
in order to provide an essential benefit for civil aviation is fixed by function. Exceptions are:
a. 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. An object which, as a result of an aeronautical study, the FAA determines
will have a substantial adverse effect upon the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft,
operation of air navigation facilities, or existing or potential airport capacity.
Large Airplane. An airplane of more than 12,500 pounds (5 700 kg) maximum certificated takeoff weight.
Low Impact Resistant Supports (LIRS). Supports designed to resist operational and environmental static
loads and fail when subjected to a shock load such as that from a colliding aircraft.
Object. Includes, but is not limited to above ground structures, NAVAIDs, people, equipment, vehicles,
natural growth, terrain, and parked aircraft.
Object Free Area (OFA). An area on the ground centered on a runway, taxiway, or taxilane centerline
provided to enhance the safety of aircraft operations by having the area free of objects, except for objects
that need to be located in the OFA for air navigation or aircraft ground maneuvering
purposes.
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 airspace above the surfaces located on the outer edges of the runway
OFZ and the inner-approach OFZ. It applies to runways with approach visibility minimums lower
than 3/4-statute mile (1 200 m).
Obstruction to Air Navigation. An object of greater height than any of the heights or surfaces presented in
Subpart C of Code of Federal Regulation (14 CFR), Part 77. (Obstructions to air navigation are presumed to
be hazards to air navigation until an FAA study has determined otherwise.)
Precision Approach Category I (CAT I) Runway. A runway with an instrument approach procedure which
provides for approaches to a decision height (DH) of not less than 200 feet (60 m) and visibility of not less
than 1/2 mile (800 m) or Runway Visual Range (RVR) 2400 (RVR 1800 with operative touchdown zone and
runway centerline lights). runway with an instrument approach procedure which provides for approaches to
a minima less than CAT I to as low as a decision height (DH) of not less than 100 feet (30 m) and RVR of not
less than RVR 1200.
Precision Approach Category III (CAT III) Runway. A runway with an instrument approach procedure which
provides for approaches to minima less than CAT II.
Runway (RW). A defined rectangular surface on an airport prepared or suitable for the landing or takeoff of
airplanes.
Runway Blast Pad. A surface adjacent to the ends of runways provided to reduce the erosive effect of jet blast
and propeller wash.
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). An area off the runway end to enhance the protection of people and property
on the ground.
Runway Safety Area (RSA). A defined surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the
risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway.
Shoulder. An area adjacent to the edge of paved runways, taxiways, or aprons providing a transition
between the pavement and the adjacent surface; support for aircraft running off the pavement; enhanced
drainage; and blast protection.
Small Airplane. An airplane of 12,500 pounds (5 700 kg) or less maximum certificated takeoff weight.
Stopway (SWY). A defined rectangular surface beyond the end of a runway prepared or suitable for use in lieu
of runway to support an airplane, without causing structural damage to the airplane, during an aborted takeoff.
Taxilane (TL). The portion of the aircraft parking area used for access between taxiways and aircraft parking
positions.
Taxiway (TW). A defined path established for the taxiing of aircraft from one part of an airport to another.
Taxiway Safety Area (TSA). A defined surface alongside the taxiway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk
of damage to an airplane unintentionally departing the taxiway.
Threshold (TH). The beginning of that portion of the runway available for landing. In some instances, the
landing threshold may be displaced.
Displaced Threshold. A threshold that is located at a point on the runway other than the designated
beginning of the runway.
Visual Runway. A runway without an existing or planned straight-in instrument approach procedure.

2/ Airplanes in Airplane Design Group III with a wheelbase equal to or greater than 60 feet (18 m) should use a fillet radius of 50 feet (15 m).
3/ Dimensions for taxiway fillet designs relate to the radius of taxiway turn specified. Figures 4-2 and 4-3 show taxiway fillet designs that provide the
standard taxiway edge safety margin for a range of wheelbase and undercarriage width combinations. Custom-designed pavement fillet are necessary
when the specified “R” or the undercarriage (also undercarriage to cockpit) dimensions fall outside of the standard taxiway edge safety margin of
figures 4-2 and 4-3.
The equations in appendix 10 or the use of a computer program offer this ability. Appendix 11 gives details on availability of this program.
4/ The center sketch of figure 4-1 displays pavement fillets with symmetrical taxiway widening.

RESE A R C H PRO G R A M
Research is necessary to solve common operating problems, to adapt
appropriate new technologies from other industries, and to introduce
innovations into the airport industry. 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.

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.

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.

F REEDOMS O F t H E A I R
First 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 fly across its territory without landing (also known
as a First Freedom Right).
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).
