Resources & Documents

Chandler Municipal Airport provides various resources and documents for those interested in learning more about various aspects of the CHD Airport.

Airport Master Plan

The current master plan for the Chandler Municipal Airport (CHD) was approved by the City Council and accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2021. The master plan provides proper guidance for existing and future development, which will satisfy aviation demands while maintaining compatibility with the surrounding environment and community. Specific master plan objectives for Chandler Municipal Airport are:

Maintain and ensure safety and security for the airport.
Plan for phased, incremental development that meets foreseeable aviation demand and maintains flexibility for change.
Produce Airport Layout Plan (ALP) drawings consistent with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards that can be utilized in determining grant eligibility and funding.

Airport Construction Obstruction Evaluations

An obstruction evaluation is required for the FAA to determine potential impacts from buildings, construction, or other activities on navigable airspace. The evaluations are submitted electronically through the Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis using Form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration aka “7460”.

Be sure to submit data points for the height of each structure. Structures include, without limitation, antennas, building parapets, mechanical penthouses, building corners, light poles, and wind turbines. Also, be aware that structures also include temporary equipment like cranes and drilling rigs. For each data point, provide latitude, longitude, site elevation, structure height above ground level, frequencies (if applicable), etc. as identified by the FAA obstruction evaluation.

As soon as you know the type of equipment (cranes, drilling rigs, etc.) you're using (particularly the number of pieces and their maximum height) and your schedule, determine the data points and submit them as soon as possible.

When you submit your data points, you will receive a reference number (“case number”). You can input the case number on the FAA obstruction evaluation website. Due to the volume of evaluations that the FAA receives, plan for approximately four to six weeks. Depending on the FAA's evaluation, the result will either be a "no hazard determination" or a hazard determination. Please read each determination carefully for specific requirements and conditions.

The Airport has no influence over a federal regulatory process.
