Question Title

* 3. Airport or Organization

Question Title

* 4. Airport-Specific AAM Initiatives: What steps, if any, have been taken by your airport (or your clients’ airports) to help integrate AAM and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) operations into the airport environment? This could include initial planning, land use or zoning changes, discussions with operators, or anything else. Please say none if no actions have been taken.

Question Title

* 5. AAM Barriers: What are some of the major factors preventing your airport from taking either initial or additional steps to help integrate AAM and eVTOL operations into your airport environment (or your clients’ airports)? What do you believe are the existing barriers inhibiting more widespread implementation of AAM in the United States more broadly?

Question Title

* 6. Most Likely Use Cases: The AAM IWG is looking at the most likely use cases for AAM in the short, medium, and long term (e.g., cargo, passenger, emergency response, package delivery). From your perspective, what types of use cases do you believe will most likely be pursued at your airport or your clients’ airports? How can the federal government help or inhibit the ability for operators and airports to pursue these opportunities? Should certain use cases be promoted over others? What role will or should the airport play in enabling these use cases?

Question Title

* 7. Safety Implications: AAM and eVTOL aircraft are expected to bring new applications and technologies to the airport environment, such as automation and electric propulsion. How will new AAM and eVTOL operations and concepts enhance, lower, or otherwise change the current level of safety that the aviation industry maintains?

Question Title

* 8. Vertiport/Infrastructure Development: What should the role of governments and private companies be in terms of the development, funding, and operation of vertiports? Should FAA be responsible for nationwide system planning like the agency does for airports in the form of a National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS)? What level of coordination is required for effective vertiport planning and use?

Question Title

* 9. Anticipated Power Requirements: There are many questions focused on power requirements at airports. How much demand does your airport (or your clients’ airports) anticipate may be needed for AAM operations? What is the ability of municipal power grids to accommodate this demand? What are the improvements or investments in power infrastructure needed to enable such operations? If you don’t know, what information does your airport need to make these determinations? And from whom?

Question Title

* 10. Customer Experience: The AAM IWG is evaluating the experience for customers who want to participate in an AAM operation. This includes scheduling and ticketing a flight, arrival at a vertiport, passenger/bag screening, boarding of flights, and the flight and postflight experience. From an airport perspective, how do you expect the AAM operational experience will be for customers in the airport and/or vertiport environment? How might this differ from existing operations? If difficult to answer, what factors might an airport consider when determining how to facilitate and support the expected AAM use cases?

Question Title

* 11. Security Concerns: How should the physical security of passengers and cargo be addressed in the case of AAM and eVTOL operations? Who should bear responsibility for security assurances and security and system resilience? Would this differ if it involved an airport or a stand-alone vertiport?

Question Title

* 12. Roles and Responsibilities: What should be the role of Federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments when it comes to enabling AAM?

Question Title

* 13. Please provide any other concerns, comments, or feedback you may have for AAAE, including any recommended steps that the federal government should take or focus on in the short, medium, and long term to promote and enable AAM operations.
