Vision Airports GIS / electronic ALPs
What if We could capture and validate Airport
data against a defined standard, export it, and
make it available electronically for whoever
needs it?

Why is FAA developing eALP?
A-GIS
https//airports-gis.faa.gov/

• Currency all NPIAS airports required to keep
  their ALPs current (many are outdated)
• Versioning paper copies of ALPs are typically
  housed in multiple locations and the latest
  version(s) often vary

eALP

• Accuracy plotted ALPs frequently contain
  airport information that differs from airports
  data collected for use in other LOBs and/or other
  airport projects
• NextGen needs real-time, web-based access of
  the same (living document) version by all
  stakeholders
• Diligence efficient use of updated, precise
  data (input into A-GIS) for optimal NextGen
  airport planning, reporting, and decision making

Got Metadata?

• Source Quality at project level
• Version Status in Attributes

14
FAA Airports-GIS Metadata Needs

• Airports change so should the data
• Constant construction and maintenance
• Natural changes also need to be recorded
• Use sources of varying qualities
• Different versions of the specs
• Contacts needed for validation
• Easy and intuitive to populate

15
Metadata Needed at Different Levels
16
Focus on Key Elements at Each Level
