Airport and Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1987

Summary

Airport and Airway Improvement Amendments of 1987 - Amends the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 to authorize appropriations for FY 1987 through 1992 for air navigation facilities. Sets forth minimum obligation levels for certain fiscal years for the purchase and installation of instrument landing systems at primary, reliever, and other airports. Authorizes appropriations for FY 1987 through 1992 for research, engineering and development, and demonstration projects (including airport capacity preservation and enhancement). Sets forth funding limitations, and prescribes formulas for the appropriation of funds (including funding levels for airport capacity enhancement, safety and security, and airport noise compatibility programs). Revises the limitations on the use of funds earmarked for: (1) noise compatibility planning programs; and (2) integrated airport system planning. Authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to provide reimbursement through letters of intent for certain advance expenditures for airport development projects. Prescribes guidelines for such letters. Sets forth the assurance required of airport development project sponsors, including: (1) nondiscrimination provisions; (2) terminal airspace; (3) revenue; (4) land disposal; (5) airport layout plans; and (6) contracts for engineering and design services. Permits the use of: (1) State taxes on aviation fuel to support a State aviation program; (2) airport revenues for noise mitigation purposes; and (3) land disposal funds for certain airport lands, including airport noise compatibility lands. Revises, for specified fiscal years, the percentage by which the maximum Federal grant obligation for airport development lands may be increased. Directs the Secretary of Transportation to make available ten percent of the funds apportioned for public-use airports to local governmental units and public agencies for noise compatibility program grants if the Secretary finds that such public-use airport is not making reasonable progress toward development and implementation of a noise compatibility program. Amends the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 to authorize the Secretary to make grants to airport operators and local governmental units to soundproof public schools and hospitals which have been adversely affected by airport noise in the noise impact area surrounding the airport. Requires the Secretary to provide grant applicants and recipients notice and opportunity for a hearing before withholding either approval or payment due to noncompliance with the assurances required under this Act. Prohibits the Secretary from closing flight service stations or reducing their operation hours unless substitute service will be provided by an automated flight service station with specified equipment. Changes from mandatory to discretionary the Secretary's authority to provide by grant for the continuation of the Explosive Detection K-9 Team Training Program. Expresses the sense of the Congress that any regulation under which the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration limits the number of instrument flight rule takeoffs and landings should be phased out and eliminated at the earliest time consistent with aviation safety. Deems heliports to be airports for purposes of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982. Directs the Secretary to conduct a study (and report its results to the Congress by January 1, 1990) regarding a long-term overall airport system plan. Authorizes appropriations.
