On September 29, 2011, the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration issued Advisory Circular AC 150/5370-2F. This document supersedes AC 150/5370-2E and sets operational safety standards for airports during construction. Airport operators must comply with these guidelines under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139, Certification of Airports.
For projects funded under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) or Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program, compliance is mandatory under Grant Assurance No. 34 and PFC Assurance No. 9. Non-certificated airports without grant agreements are strongly encouraged to follow the same guidelines to maintain a safe operational environment during construction.
The circular introduces key updates including safety requirements for construction activities near safety areas, integration of Safety Risk Management, and checklists for Construction Safety and Phasing Plans (CSPP) and daily inspections. These measures help minimize operational disruptions and ensure the safety of passengers, workers, and aircraft.
Under AC 150/5370-2F, airport operators must prepare a CSPP before construction begins. The plan must address Foreign Object Debris (FOD) control, Wildlife Management, Hazard Marking and Lighting, and FAA notification requirements. Daily safety inspections are required to ensure ongoing compliance throughout the construction period.
