Abstract
The purpose of this exam is to provide the pertinent questions and research needed to develop a small airport from a management prospective and demonstrate knowledge learned at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The flow of the questions will be in the subsequent order recommended by the research put forth. The end state will be an academically sound and as well as precise and
Program Outcome 8. The Skills in Aeronautical Science Program Outcome (PO) will be satisfied providing an in depth analysis of various sciences involved in the creation and operation of aircraft that will intertwine with airport creation and management.
Information will be gathered from sources such as the Hunt Library and the Hazy Library.
The factors that will be discussed are the attributes of an aviation professional, career planning, aircraft design, performance, operating characteristics, and maintenance; aviation safety and human factors; national and international aviation law, regulations, and labor issues; design and operations of airports, airspace, and the air traffic control system;
The outcome of this information will be sound information that will be used to develop the final choice of whether a pilot career is the right choice are:
Understanding of meteorology and environmental issues
Applied sciences to aviation-related disciplines
Assess the national and international aviation environment
Apply knowledge of business sustainability to aviation issues
Demonstrate knowledge and application of aerodynamic principles

Comprehensive Question 3
Statement of the question. What are the latest government regulations in the implementation, daily maintenance and long-term viability of a small airport? What issues or problems do they create for
