Describes the process for evaluating airport environments, safety standards, airport infrastructure, licensing standards and multitransportational systems. The project rating system is intended to be used for determining state and federal funding.
Four versions of an evaluation form, each of which had a set of common items, were distributed at safety seminars conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration. These evaluation forms assessed participant satisfaction with seminars, perceptions of the seminar content and the presenter, frequency of attendance at seminars, aviation qualifications
