General Aviation Facilities Requirements Survey PDF Download

This synthesis study identifies current practices in safety and security at general aviation airports. It reviews resources used by the general aviation community in the development of safety and security programs, funding sources and issues that determine the amount of money spent on such programs, and describes current practices that general aviation airports use to keep their facilities safe and secure. Information was collected from survey questionnaires distributed to individual airports and fixed base operators (FBOs), a literature search, and documents provided by selected airports, FBOs, and industry trade associations. Follow-up interviews, personal experience, and industry contacts were also incorporated where appropriate.
