What is the Airport Consultants Council (ACC)?
"The Airport Consultants Council (ACC) is the international trade association that represents the unique interests of consultant firms and related businesses that provide airport development and operations expertise. Constant development and complex challenges have become the norms in aviation today. Airport facilities, technology, markets, planning, design, security, regulations and economics are in a state of unprecedented change. ACC helps its members stay ahead in this dynamic industry by bringing the experts together." ACC website
In short, it represents the consultants involved in airport development. This is an American organization so their focus is primarily is the United States. I mention them because of the resources they have produced which I find useful.
My personal favorites are:
1. Quick Reference for Airports - contains airport maps, aircraft details, select faa advisory circulars excerpts all in one book (click here, the link on their library appears to be broken)
2. Airport Owner's Guide to Project Delivery Methods - useful if you are an airport owner trying to understand design-build, construction manager at risk etc. (click here)
There are also a number of other resources in the ACC library which might be interest to airport planners. Click here to go to the ACC Library.
You can also check out the conferences and events that they organize. Annually, they organize together with other airport-related organizations:
1. Planning, Design Construction Symposium
2. Airport Project Delivery Summit
