Faa Form 7480 1 PDF Details

In the complex world of aviation, taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety and legality of airport construction, alteration, and deactivation is critical. The FAA Form 7480-1 emerges as a cornerstone document in this process, cast by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration. This form is an essential tool for communicating significant changes to the FAA, strengthening the safety and efficiency of national airspace. Its rigorous requirements underscore the need for meticulous planning and reporting by airport owners and operators, who must navigate through a comprehensive checklist that includes notifying the FAA of new constructions, alterations, status changes, and more. It outlines a structure for informing the FAA about various changes like construction of new airports, alterations to existing structures, changes in the use or status of airports, and modifications to traffic patterns. Designed to promote transparency and proactive management of the airspace, the document carries obligations under the Paperwork Reduction Act, ensuring that all submissions meet the current standards. Beyond its immediate functional requirements, the form plays a critical part in the larger aviation regulatory framework, demanding attention to detail and foresight from all who engage with it. Whether it's altering a runway or deactivating an airport, this document ensures that every action is carefully recorded, reviewed, and integrated into the national oversight process, marking each step with the precision and clarity that aviation safety demands.

FAA Form 7480-1, Notice for Construction, Alteration and Deactivation of Airports

Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Statement

A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0036. Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 60 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, completing and reviewing the collection of information.

All responses to this collection of information are required if the proponent wishes to have the airport on file with the FAA, as required by Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 157, and entered into the National Airspace System. No assurances of confidentiality are given. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

When to File a Notice for Construction, Alteration and Deactivation of Airports

Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 157 requires all persons to notify the FAA at least 90 days before construction, alteration, activation, deactivation, or change to the status or use of a civil or joint-use (civil/military) airport. (As used herein, the term “airport” means any Landing or Takeoff Area, e.g. Airport, Heliport, Vertiport, Gliderport, Seaplane Base, Ultralight Flightpark, or Balloonport.)

Notice is not required for:

1.An airport subject to conditions of a Federal agreement that requires an approved current airport layout plan to be on file with the Federal Aviation Administration.

2.Establishment of a temporary airport at which operations will be conducted under visual flight rule (VFR) and will be used for less than 30 days with no more than 10 operations per day.

3.Intermittent use of a site that is not an established airport, which is used for less than one year and at which flight operations will be conducted only under VFR. (Intermittent use means the use of the site for no more than 3 days in any one week and for no more than 10 operations per day.)

Required notice will be submitted on this form from each person who intends to do the any of the following:

1.Construct or otherwise establish a new airport or activate an airport.

2.Construct, alter, realign, or activate any runway, or other aircraft landing or takeoff area of an airport.

3.Construct, alter, realign, or activate a taxiway associated with a landing or takeoff area on a public-use airport.

4.Deactivate, discontinue using, or abandon an airport or any landing or takeoff area of an airport for a period of one year or more.

5.Deactivate, abandon, or discontinue using a taxiway associated with a landing or takeoff area on a public-use airport.

6.Change the status of an airport from private use (use by the owner or use by the owner and other person authorized by the owner) to an airport open to the public of from public-use to another status.

7.Change status from IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) to VFR or from VFR to IFR.

8.Establish or change any traffic pattern or traffic pattern altitude or direction.

Section 901 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, provides that any person who violates a rule, regulation, or order issued under Title III of this Act will be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 for each violation.
