FAA Airport Land Use Compatibility Advisory Circular Background AC 150/5190-4A, A Model Zoning Ordinance to Limit Height of Objects Around Airports Published December 14, 1987 Section 160 of Vision 100, Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, provided funding for compatible land use planning and projects by state and local governments around large and medium hub airports Section 153 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 extended compatible land use planning grant authority through September 2015 Memorandum of Understanding between FAA and NASAO ACRP Report 27, Enhancing Airport Land Use Compatibility 7
Overview of AC Update Purpose: To assist local governments and airport owners to understand the effects of incompatible land use on the safety and utility of airport operations and identify compatible land use development tools and techniques to protect surrounding communities from adverse impacts associated with airport operations. The AC update will be based on extensive research conducted for Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 27, Enhancing Airport Land Use Compatibility. Coordination and Input: FAA Working Group with all FAA Regions represented NASAO/FAA MOU on Airport Compatible Land Use ACI Point of Contact (POC) for Input Other stakeholders, including AAAE, ACC and APA 8
