Airport Reference Code (ARC) An airport's reference code is one of the most important design requirements for an airport. The ARC determines what kind of aircrafts can utilized the airport. The ARC is a two-part classification that considers the aircraft's approach speed and wingspan. Since the FAA general aviation forecast predicts a large increase in jet activity, an ARC of BI has been chosen. This allows aircrafts with ARCs of AI, AII, BI, and BII to utilize the proposed airport.
| Advisory Circulars (AC) The FAA outlines a set of design criteria for all aspects of airport planning. These criteria are known as Advisory Circulars and are implemented to ensure a safe and effective airport design layout. The FAA constantly update the ACs to keep up with new research and technological advances. The following ACs were used for this proposed airport:
