What are the steps of an airport master plan?

• A. Technical Report
• B. Cost-Benefit Analysis
• C. Environmental Impact Statement
• D. Public Safety Plan

Answer: (A)

In an airport master plan, the main deliverable that captures the entire study is a Technical Report. This document gathers everything the plan does: inventory of current facilities, demand forecasts, facility needs analysis, development alternatives, the recommended program, and the implementation plan with cost estimates and phasing. It ties together methods, data, analyses, and rationale so stakeholders can assess and approve the long-range strategy.

Other options describe important components that may appear within the process, but they aren’t the overall product the master plan produces. A Cost-Benefit Analysis is a tool used to compare options, often part of evaluating alternatives. An Environmental Impact Statement might be required if significant environmental effects are involved, typically as a parallel or subsequent process. A Public Safety Plan focuses on safety-specific requirements and may be developed alongside or after the master plan, but it isn’t the central master plan deliverable.
