What is the First NPIAS Level of Need?

• A. Maintain System
• B. Bring system to standards
• C. Expand System
• D. Replace System

Answer: (A)

Maintaining what exists is the starting point in NPIAS levels of need. The first level focuses on keeping the current airport system safe, reliable, and operational through routine maintenance, repairs, and lifecycle replacements for essential assets. It establishes a solid baseline so the facilities continue to function properly before any upgrades, expansions, or replacements are considered. Only after the maintenance baseline is secured would projects move on to bring facilities up to standards, expand capacity, or replace aging assets.
