5010 Inspection Program

The Division of Aeronautics is under contract with the FAA to inspect 121 public-use airports in the state of Idaho. These inspections are conducted on a three year cycle. The inspection includes verification of airport data, services, and evaluation of runway/taxiway surfaces and navigation aids. Airport Facility Directories issued by both the State of Idaho and the Federal Aviation Administration are updated using information gathered during the inspection. Interaction with Airport Managers or sponsors during the inspection provides an opportunity to address safety and maintenance issues. Between inspections, airport managers or sponsors can assist in keeping airport specific data current by contacting the Aviation Technician to report changes or corrections.

For more information contact: Flo Ghighina, Airport.Planning@itd.idaho.gov, 208-334-8895

The source of data accumulated in this IAASC is compiled directly from the NTSB aviation database.
