How NGS supports the FAA

• Provide products and services to FAA (ATO-R) through an inter-agency agreement

• Provide positional, height, and orientation information to the FAA in support of the National Airspace System (NAS) and safe navigation

• Develop standards, guidelines, tools, and models designed to assist surveyors conducting aeronautical surveys

• Quality Review aeronautical survey data submitted by 3rd party providers to the FAA

FBN and BM ties must be observed simultaneously with both PACS

Simplified Schematic

• PACS and SACS monuments are positioned and tied to the National Spatial Reference System through GPS observations.

High-Resolution Imagery

High-Resolution photography of the Airport is collected for the entire study area being surveyed.

Imagery is used in the photogrammetric process for determining the height of obstructions and airport feature compilation.

Obstruction Survey

Numerous types of surveying techniques are used to determine the latitude, longitude, and height of obstructions within the FAA Part 77 and Area Navigation Approach Obstruction Identification Surfaces

Photogrammetric Survey

All survey information brought together into a Digital Photogrammetric Workstation

Transitioning to a QA Role

• Focus on quality review services • Collaborate with FAA in developing Aeronautical Survey Standards

• Support commercial surveyors performing aeronautical surveys

• Develop procedures, guidelines and models

• Convene workshops and training seminars
