The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) NextGen initiative mandates that airports collect survey-grade datasets, called Airport GIS (A-GIS), so that the FAA can manage the spatial data needed to support safe aviation.
THE CHALLENGE: Although many small-to-medium-sized airports without major IT resources are fulfilling the requirements of the FAA, many do not fully benefit from the A-GIS data they collect.
THE SOLUTION: GEO Jobe assessed the airport’s current operations, identified pitfalls, and created an enterprise GIS that allowed the airport to push its A-GIS data to the FAA.
