Planning & Development
The Division of Aeronautics is under contract with the FAA to inspect 118 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 Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) Division of Aeronautics recognizes the significance of a proactive approach to ensuring aviation’s role in the statewide transportation system. The Idaho Airport System Plan (IASP) provides ITD-Aeronautics an opportunity to stay abreast of changes in the aviation industry and to determine how Idaho’s airports should be positioned to respond to future needs and challenges.
- Idaho Airport System Plan & Idaho Airport Economic Impact Analysis (AEIA) Update | Final Technical Report – July 2020
- Idaho Airport Economic Impact Analysis
- Idaho Aviation System Plan
Idaho’s State Airport System Plan provides input for federal planning documents. The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) is updated every two years. The FAA provides money for eligible airport development from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Airports must be included in the NPIAS for their projects to be eligible for AIP funding. Recommendations from the Idaho Airport System Plan will be included in the NPIAS.
The IASP is the Idaho Transportation Department’s comprehensive plan for linking statewide aviation facilities with those of the nation and the world. Idaho’s system plan also works in concert with Idaho’s Transportation Vision. The Transportation Vision examines all of the state’s transportation needs and sets the direction for making improvements and investments in all modes of transportation.
For more information contact Jennifer Schildgen, Airport Development Project Manager, Airport.Planning@itd.idaho.gov, 208-334-8640
The Division of Aeronautics evaluates structures under the authority of Idaho Code 21-513 through 21-520 and Idaho Transportation Rule No. 39.04.08. All proposals for structures in excess of 199’ or those of a lower height located near a public-use airport are evaluated for impacts on safety of flight and aircraft navigation. Mitigation of aviation hazards typically involves marking and lighting of structures. Proponents of vertical structures can contact the Aviation Technician directly, if clarifying details are needed or technical questions arise during the project-planning phase. Notification of the Division of Aeronautics prior to construction is best accomplished by submitting a copy of the FAA form 7460-1 to our office. This form contains all the information needed by the State of Idaho to accurately evaluate a structure and its location. You can find the FAA Form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration at the following link:
https://www.faa.gov/forms/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/186273.
It should be noted that proponents of structures described above are required to notify the Federal Aviation Administration to allow that agency to evaluate the structure for impacts on the national airspace system.
For more information contact: Flo Ghighina, Airport.Planning@itd.idaho.gov | 208-334-8895
Purpose
Like the highway system, Idaho’s system of 126 public use airports are a critical component of the state’s transportation system. And, also like the highway system, constant maintenance and improvements are necessary to meet the needs and demands of the traveling public. Simply put, current aviation system needs far outweigh available funding.
The State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP) is tackling the challenge of targeting state and federal resources in a more strategic way by better identifying and prioritizing aviation related projects. This process helps ITD-Aeronautics and local governments communicate to decision-makers the need for continued and increased investments into Idaho’s airport system. The program is intended to be a continuous, multi-year funding program that will assess short-term (0-5 year) and long-term (5-20 year) airport improvement needs for the Idaho airport system. The SCIP is helping agencies including ITD-Aero, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and local governments to better anticipate future airport development capital needs and to make strategic investments to maximize financial resources.
ITD-Aero is developing and implementing the program on two fronts:
- A program for airports eligible for FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds.
- A program for airports only eligible for Idaho Airport Aid Program (IAAP) funds.
For AIP eligible airports, the SCIP program is being developed in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Northwest Mountain Region and the FAA Seattle Airports District Office (ADO). The Seattle ADO is the primary FAA regional Line of Business overseeing airport development and funding in the states of Idaho, Washington and Oregon. In support of this partnership, the FAA has provided ITD-Aero with a grant to develop an AIP eligible SCIP.
General Benefits
- Capture for the first time at the state level both the constrained and unconstrained needs of Idaho airports. This data will be used to demonstrate to state legislators and other local decision-makers the financial needs to maintain and enhance this critical component of the statewide transportation system.
- Use the process developed in partnership with the FAA for federally funded airports for non-federally funded airports within Idaho.
- Increase predictability, consistency, and efficiency amongst ITD-Aero, airport sponsors and FAA when prioritizing and distributing Idaho airport capital improvement funds.
- Eliminate duplication of efforts. ITD-Aero will be responsible for the annual collection of CIPs from airport sponsors, which will alleviate airport sponsors from having to duplicate communication with both the FAA and ITD-Aero.
- Maximize efficiency by designating ITD-Aero as the organizer of CIP submittals. ITD-Aero will then work with the FAA to provide a more timely response from the agencies back to airport sponsors regarding their CIP requests.
- Joint coordination with FAA Project Managers as part of the five year SCIP development process will result in:
- Increased resources for airport sponsors to discuss your individual airport CIP and airport needs.
- The ability of Idaho to work with the FAA and airport sponsors to better incorporate statewide aviation needs into the overall SCIP development process.
- More efficient use of available AIP funds to Idaho airports as well as the potential for increased access to certain AIP funds as a result of better SCIP planning.
- Create a proactive, continual planning process for years to come. This will result in a more sustainable airport system, enabling ITD-Aero, FAA and local governments to look ahead to determine how the system can continue to be improved and preserved.
Schedule
As a new program within ITD-Aero, full development and implementation of this program is expected to take two to three years. Over the coming months ITD-Aero will be visiting with airports to discuss the program, answer any questions and gather input about existing CIPs.
Stay tuned – More information will be added to this website as it becomes available .

The Idaho Aviation Accident Score Card (IAASC) provides details on all Idaho aircraft accidents that have occurred from the NTSB’s latest Probable Cause issuances. The source of data accumulated in this IAASC is compiled directly from the NTSB aviation database.
IAASC specifically includes total number of fatal accidents, fatalities, class of aircraft, pilot qualifications, and weather conditions at the time of the accident. In addition, IAASC provides an overview of Idaho aviation safety trends while final investigations of these accidents are being conducted by the NTSB. It will be published annually during the first quarter of the following year and a brief summary will be added to the spring issue of the Rudder Flutter.
For ideas, comments or suggestions, we would be glad to hear from you.
