Jumperintheair 0 #1 September 15, 2006 Can someone please direct me to the website that lists all airports that have accepted federal funds? I came across a link in a thread a while ago, and can't seem to dig it up. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eule 0 #3 September 15, 2006 QuoteCan someone please direct me to the website that lists all airports that have accepted federal funds? Google and some poking around at the FAA site led me to a Grant Histories page. Scroll down a bit to "Grant History Summaries" and look at the "AIP Summary (All Grants)" for the year you are interested in. At least for 2005, the documents seem to be sorted by some kind of FAA region and not by state, so you may want to do a find in your PDF reader (usually the binoculars button) to look for the airport name you are interested in, or the name of a major airport in your state to get you close. The AIP grants are probably not the only source of federal funds available to airports, but they are maybe the most common one. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems page may also be interesting; it lists the airports that are _eligible_ to get federal grants. I agree with Elisha that most airports that are eligible for a grant probably get something and would therefore show up in the AIP grants summary, but you never know. Going a little further into things that I think are true but that I don't have a reference handy for, the number of takeoffs and landings is a factor in deciding how much money an airport gets from the AIP grants. So, having a dropzone on an airport may increase the amount of federal funds that airport can get. EulePLF does not stand for Please Land on Face.

Now, this is a very important and worthwhile piece of information.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

CSpenceFLY 1 #5 September 15, 2006 That is true but when they get all the money they want and their airport all fixed up then they find a loophole and throw the DZ off of the airport. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
