Its structure follows the development of an airport project, providing airport consultants and FAA staff with the tools to improve communication and relationships with the overall goal of increasing the effectiveness of the process.  

ImageAirport Information Technology & Systems: Best Practice Guidelines for the Airport Industry was initiated by the ACC Information Technology and Systems (IT&S) Committee. The document provides a holistic framework on information technology systems that affect the airport industry and each airport stakeholder. As a primer it offers a description of the appropriate processes to accomplish successful IT &S implementation alongside an airports’ capital improvement program. Whether one is pursuing a refurbishment or a new terminal project, these guidelines will assist in better planning, engineering, construction and commissioning of projects.

It appreciates those who offered their time and expertise for the development of the Best Practice documents, which ACC has posted for free at ACConline.org.
