Operational Consideration for Safety During Airport Construction and Maintenance

Safety requirements for work in airports must be developed - - often invented - - with input regarding airport user characteristics.

Construction or maintenance work that affects navigational aids, guidance systems, or any portion of the airfield area, must be accomplished in a manner which will minimize confusion and difficulty in landing, takeoffs, and taxiing for both the pilot and the air traffic controller. Pertinent FAA advisory circulars are quoted and referenced. Specialized airport equipment and systems must be developed to improve safety.
