Examples of AIP project eligibility*

* These lists are illustrative and should not be viewed as either complete or definitive. Several factors affect project eligibility, including size of airport, specific type of facility, location, planning and design standards, Part 139 certification requirements and specific category of AIP funding requested. See FAA Order 5100.38C (“AIP Handbook”) for further information, procedural requirements, obligations and limitations.

**Can be deemed eligible at nonprimary airports under certain circumstances.



Where Should You Spend Your Money?

• Safety– Obstructions

• Planning– Planning is a critical element in airport

development– It is not a necessary evil– It is the beginning point of all good projects– It is the basis of the ACIP
