FAA Updates AIP Program Handbook

Primary Document In The Management Of Federal Grants For Airport Improvements

The FAA has updated the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Handbook (FAA Order 5100-38D.)

For more than 30 years, the FAA has used the AIP Handbook as its primary document to manage federal grants that enhance airport safety, capacity, efficiency, security and environmental compatibility and sustainability. The AIP funds come from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, which is supported by user fees and fuel taxes.

The Handbook update incorporates a number of changes to AIP that were part of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, as well as a number of related Program Guidance Letters and other guidance. It also reflects administrative changes designed to make the document more user-friendly and comments from the public review process.

The Office of Airports has streamlined this Handbook and replaced guidance with references where there is a more appropriate source of guidance (such as in other orders or advisory circulars). This included deleting guidance on airport planning, capital planning, labor rates, and civil rights. The references appear as the basic publication number without any suffix. The intent is for the reader to use the latest version of the referenced publication. It also has been reorganized and revised to incorporate the Plain Language Act of 2010; to differentiate what is required by law and policy; to incorporate program guidance letters issued prior to July 30, 2012
