FAA’s Dr. David Brill and Dr. Navneet Garg will be travelling to Singapore on the invitation of Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA). Dr. Garg will be delivering the Keynote Address at the 3rd International Symposium on Airfield Infrastructure of Airports (ISAIA 2019) – Airfields for Future-Generation Aircraft, to be held on August 29 – 30, 2019. This annual symposium serves as a nexus for knowledge sharing and brings together airport practitioners and academia to discuss innovative concepts, strategies and best practices in airfield infrastructure planning and development, technical know-how and best practices of different airports with focus on airfields for future-generation aircraft. The first two runs of the symposiums were attended by more than 250 delegates including airport engineering professionals, industry practitioners, and academia from the region.

On August 28, 2019, Dr. Brill and Dr. Garg will conduct Runway Pavement Design Workshop on August 28, 2019. The objective of the workshop is for FAA to share and coach the airport operators in the region on FAA’s latest Advisory Circular AC 150/5370-10H. FAA will also share collaboration with ICAO on the revision of the ACN-PCN methodology to a renewed ACR-PCR system for airports, and share ACR/PCR method’s benefits: the optimized usage of pavements, consistency between pavement design and aircraft admissibility parameters etc. The new FAARFIELD 2.0, and PANDA software and its applications will also be addressed at this workshop.
