Abstract: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made a decision to implement digital geospatial information as the basis of data collection and verification for airport surveying and aeronautical information management. The FAA’s Airports GIS programme is a multi-year initiative designed for spatial data collection for use in airport planning and engineering. It will enhance safety by providing the FAA, airports, industry stakeholders, pilots and others with better, more accurate data for making decisions. This paper describes the progress in implementing a major change in data collection for both airport planning and aeronautical information by the FAA, utilising geospatial information and using stewardship of data from master data management principles.
