Section 450-9-3-.07 - Construction Requirements

(1) Once a site approval certificate is issued by the Department, the owner must submit detailed construction drawings to the Department for approval. The drawings must include a summary of quantities sheet that show the materials to be used and the estimated quantities of these materials. A typical section of the proposed construction of the runway, taxiway, and apron along with a layout plan of the runway, taxiway, and other appurtenances shall be included with the drawings. The layout plan must be to scale. The physical layout of the runway, taxiway, apron and appurtenances must meet the standards set forth in the most recent version of FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13, Airport Design for length, width and restriction lines. Once the plans and specifications have been approved, the owner may proceed with the construction of the facility.

(2) Once the airport has been completed, the owner must contact the Department for a final inspection for licensing. The Department will assign an Inspector to conduct the final inspection. The Inspector will determine if the facility was constructed according to the plans and specifications submitted to the Department. The inspection will determine what, if any, items must be addressed to be issued an operating license. A final inspection report will be submitted to the Director and Commission Chairman with a recommendation to grant or deny the license. In the case of a recommendation to deny the license, the report will specify what items are to be corrected and the necessary corrective action to be taken. Once the facility meets all construction requirements, the license will be issued.

(3) The materials and construction standards for the proposed construction must meet or exceed the requirements of the most recent version of the Alabama Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway Construction.
