T/AOPA 0051-2023 Runway-type General Aviation Airport Construction Guidebook
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: With the continuous development of China's local economy and general aviation industry, the number of general airports being built is increasing. As early as 2019, the number of general airports certified in China exceeded the number of transport airports certified in the same period. Among them, runway-type general airports accounted for more than 50% and have become the main type of general airports. At present, the construction of runway-type general airports in China mainly follows the standards of transport airports, ignoring the characteristics of runway-type general airports in terms of function, aircraft type, and business type, resulting in unreasonable construction scale and excessive investment for runway-type general airports, which affects and restricts the construction and development of runway-type general airports. On the premise of ensuring flight safety, the construction of runway-type general airports with reasonable scale, economic feasibility, and long-term development is carried out. Based on relevant national laws and regulations and drawing on the successful experience of other professional consulting services, this standard is formulated. This standard is the basic basis for China AOPA to organize and guide the construction of runway-type general airports, and it is a code of conduct that all investors and operators who voluntarily accept industry self-discipline should abide by.
