Course Outline

As critical hubs for global commerce, emergency response, and human connection, airports serve as the backbone of modern infrastructure. This comprehensive course provides a technical foundation in the FAA’s current standards and recommendations for airport geometric design. Utilizing AC 150/5300-13B, participants will learn to navigate the complexities of modern airfield planning to create facilities that are both operationally efficient and inherently safe.

At the end of this course, there will be a multiple-choice, open-book quiz, which is designed to enhance your understanding of the course material.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, the student will:

• Be able to apply Runway Design Codes (RDC) and Taxiway Design Groups (TDG) to establish precise airfield dimensions.
• Be able to configure airfield layouts that minimize the risk of runway incursions and wrong-surface events.
• Be able to define and protect critical safety zones, including the Runway Safety Area (RSA) and Runway Protection Zone (RPZ).
• Be able to navigate the Modification of Standards (MOS) process to address site-specific design constraints.
