Pre-Applications
In order to best serve all of our public airports, the Kentucky Department
of Aviation must be aware of all existing and proposed airport improvement
projects and needs. Help us to help you by keeping the Department of Aviation
involved in every aspect of your airport development, from planning to design to
construction. For projects you would like us to be aware of or participate in the future, be sure to complete a Pre-Application (Pre-App) Form TC 56/61 so we can better prepare and prioritize our projects. Knowing the true backlog of aviation projects for the state also helps KDA more effectively communicate the overall funding needs for the airports.
Pre-App's for 100% state funded projects should be submitted prior to the start of the Fiscal Year to be considered for funding and to assist our planning process. Federal projects requesting a state share need to be turned in to KDA as early as possible to maximize the potential of funds being available. Kentucky Fiscal Years run from July 1 thru June 30th.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides information on series
150, Airport Advisory Circulars that will assist with understanding FAA
standards and regulations. The FAA uses Advisory Circulars (AC's) to constantly update
and improve airport design standards and regulations.
