How frequently should the ALP be reviewed for maintenance purposes?

The correct frequency for reviewing the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for maintenance purposes is every 2-7 years. This timeframe allows for comprehensive evaluations that consider ongoing changes in airport operations, regulatory updates, and shifts in community needs or environmental factors.

Conducting the review within this period ensures that the ALP remains relevant and effective in guiding airport development and operational strategies. It balances the need for timely updates against the reality that significant changes at an airport may not happen annually, and a longer interval could risk outdating the plan in a rapidly evolving aviation landscape. Regular reviews within this recommended timeframe enable airport management to incorporate new technologies, industry best practices, and strategic objectives into their planning documents.
