In addition to federal regulations, the FAA publishes a series of
Advisory Circulars (ACs) to provide guidance into the application of the
regulations. The “150 series” of Advisory Circulars are focused on guid-
ing airport managers and planners. There are more than 100 current and
historical Advisory Circulars within the 150 series. Those of most direct
application to airport planning and design include

AC 150/5020-1: Noise Control and Compatibility Planning for
Airports
AC 150/5060-5: Airport Capacity and Delay
AC 150/5070-6B: Airport Master Plans
