Useful records may include an Airport Certification Manual, airfield inspection forms, NOTAMs, maintenance records, wildlife-control documentation, fueling records, construction or work-area information, photographs, and incident reports. For airports subject to 14 CFR Part 139, FAA certification inspections specifically examine airport records along with pavement, markings, lighting, signs, safety areas, vehicle activity, wildlife conditions, rescue and firefighting capabilities, and fueling facilities.
Construction can affect pavement condition, runway or taxiway availability, markings, lighting, drainage, temporary access, and movement around active portions of an airport. An expert may compare plans, specifications, construction records, phasing information, inspections, and observed conditions with the work that was required. FAA airport construction standards address areas such as pavement, earthwork, drainage, fencing, lighting, materials, and contractor quality control.
The scope may include airfield inspections, pavement and safety-area conditions, lighting and markings, ground vehicles, fueling, wildlife hazards, access controls, rescue and firefighting readiness, or other operational safety practices relevant to the event. Certain certificated airports must also implement Safety Management Systems designed to identify hazards, assess risk, and establish processes for managing those risks.
Airport-related expertise generally focuses on the airport environment, including airfield facilities, operations, maintenance, management practices, construction, and safety procedures. Aeronautical Engineering addresses engineering questions involving aircraft and atmospheric flight, such as aerodynamics, flight dynamics and control, structural loads, and aircraft performance. When the disputed issue concerns airport facilities or operations rather than aircraft engineering behavior, counsel should look for an expert whose qualifications match the specific airport-related issue.
