Lunken Field Airport Layout Plan with eALP
Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport had previously updated their airport layout plan (ALP), but it remained in draft form without ever receiving FAA approval. In order to meet new FAA design standards, as well as the development needs of the owner, Woolpert was selected to update the airport’s ALP. In addition to incorporating improvement plans as programmed and envisioned by the airport owner, the update provided continuity with the airport’s capital improvement program, which ensures the airport remains eligible for grants that will help bring long-term goals and visions to fruition.
The primary focus of the ALP update was to depict runway layout and taxiway configuration changes and to revise the drawings to meet current FAA design standards and FAA ALP Checklist Standard Operating Procedures. Woolpert’s geospatial experts acquired aerial imagery and orthophotography—generating new obstruction data and developing a narrative report as a result. Key aspects of the report include:
- Inventory and environmental overview
- Aviation activity forecasts
- Facility requirements
- Alternative analysis
- Capital improvement project cost estimating
- ALP drawing sheets
- Partial eALP
