Northern Aroostook Regional Airport (FVE)

Frenchville, Maine
Spring 2007, Spring 2010

The Client: Maine Department of Transportation for FAA

The Project: Airport Obstruction Mapping compliant with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Geodetic Survey (NGS) standards and with guidelines for Instrument Procedure Development (LPV). The standards and guidelines (Advisory Circulars 150/5300 -16A, 17A, 18A) comprehensively address the surveying, mapping, and infrastructure data collection and attribution requirements that support precision approach analysis, design, and certification. Certification enhances the airport’s economic viability by attracting aviation business and by increasing access to the region by air.
