§ 3.10–3.13
RSA · ROFA · RPZ · OFZ
Safety-area, object-free-area, protection-zone, and OFZ dimensions by AAC/ADG/visibility.
Use: size the airfield safety footprint for the ALP and design review.
AvPlot for Airports
Argue fact, not estimate.
AvPlot gives airport sponsors and staff FAA AC 150/5300-13B dimensions, ALP-ready linework, and a citation trail for every value — so master-plan updates and design reviews move on the controlling table, paragraph, and change note, not a recollection. Verify what a consultant hands back, and walk into FAA coordination knowing the numbers.
CAPABILITIES
Every figure your reviewer can check.
The FAA standard, applied — each paired with the airport task it answers. Reference, calculator, and CAD output share one source of truth, so the value you ship is the value you cite.
14 CFR 77 · OCS
Part 77 & OCS Surfaces
Imaginary-surface and obstacle-clearance-surface geometry, anchored per §77.19.
Use: catch penetrations before they reach FAA review.
ARP SOP 2.00
ALP Linework & Data Tables
Runway/taxiway linework plus airport, runway, and declared-distance tables — XLSX and DXF.
Use: assemble ALP sheets without hand-drafting.
13B APP H
Declared Distances
TORA, TODA, ASDA, and LDA with displaced-threshold, stopway, and clearway handling.
Use: publish declared distances you can defend end to end.
14 CFR 77
Obstruction Evaluation
Part 77 and OCS penetration analysis with per-surface evaluators.
Use: document obstacle findings for permits and review.
Order 6480.4C
ATCT Siting / LOS
Tower line-of-sight, lateral discrimination, shadowing, and minimum cab height.
Use: justify a candidate tower location.
AC 5070-6B
Activity Forecasting
Trend, TAF-consistency, peaking, and critical-aircraft analysis.
Use: drive the master-plan update with a defensible forecast.
AC 13B § 4
Fillet & Exit Geometry
Taxiway fillet and high-speed acute-angle exit geometry by TDG.
Use: generate CAD-ready taxiway curves for the layout.
5300-13B
BCA Support
Traceable dimensions and citations that feed benefit-cost narratives.
Use: back funding requests with fact, not estimate.
WHERE IT FITS
Built for the airport's real work.
Master plan update
Pull current design standards, size the safety areas, and feed the ALP — every figure traced to its controlling table and change note.
ALPDesign codeSafety areas
FAA design review
Walk into review — or verify a consultant's deliverable — with dimensions that cite the table, paragraph, and change note. Survivable because every value is sourced.

Obstruction & Part 77
Evaluate penetrations against Part 77 and the OCS, and document the finding before it ever reaches the FAA.

Back funding requests and BCAs with traceable figures — so the case argues fact, not estimate.

HOW IT GETS FUNDED
Planning work is usually grant-eligible.
The studies AvPlot supports — master plans, ALP updates, and planning studies — are the kind of airport planning work the FAA and most state aviation programs fund. AvPlot is a production tool your planners use on that work; how the work itself is funded depends on your airport's NPIAS status and your FAA and state program contacts.
FAA AIP & BIL
Airport planning — master plans and ALPs — is an eligible use of Airport Improvement Program and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law airport funds for NPIAS airports. Eligibility, share, and availability are set by your FAA ADO — confirm with them.
NPIASAIPConfirm with your ADO
State aviation programs
Most state DOT aviation programs cost-share airport planning studies, often stacking with federal shares. Terms vary by state — check your state aviation grant program.

What AvPlot costs
AvPlot is a per-seat production tool, not a capital project — it speeds the study your planners or consultant already produce. We're in invite-only beta; request access for pricing.
