Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS)
The Airports Surveying-GIS program helps the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) collect airport and aeronautical data to meet the demands of the Next Generation National Airspace System.
Guided by Advisory Circulars, you, the airport sponsor or proponent, are a key link in the information chain. A single web app lets you access airport data and submit changes. The changes match defined business rules to ensure the proper FAA office is notified.
We hope to reduce reporting and processing time for an airport change from “up to a year” to a publication cycle or two.
The FAA is streamlining the existing survey application and integrating other aeronautical applications into a single Internet portal for submission and delivery of airport and aeronautical data. Airports GIS currently supports open data standards, enhanced workflow and tracking capabilities, automatic validation of all submitted data, and a GIS viewer.
We are developing electronic Airport Obstruction Charts and electronic Airport Layout Plans (for Phase 2). Our ultimate goal is to integrate multiple versions of the airport data: preliminary, current, planned, and temporary. And to share data with other FAA systems such as iOEAAA and eNASR. Stay tuned for future implementations.
There is a tremendous amount of work ahead, but it will be worth it. Please continue visiting to see our progress.
