Only airports that are part of which program may receive Federal Funding?

• A. Private Flight Corporation
• B. National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems
• C. Enplanement Program
• D. Airport Master Plan

Answer: (B)

Access to Federal funding for airport improvements comes through the Airport Improvement Program, and eligibility is tied to being listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The NPIAS identifies the airports that are essential to the nation's air transportation system, and inclusion signals that an airport is eligible for federal AIP grants and related assistance. FAA (often with state input) reviews and updates the NPIAS, and only airports within this plan can receive federal funds for capital projects like runway and safety improvements. The other options aren’t funding eligibility programs: a private-flight entity isn’t a federal funding program, an “Enplanement Program” isn’t the mechanism for grant eligibility, and an Airport Master Plan is a planning document that guides development but doesn’t itself grant federal funding.
