scope:

This standard establishes a standard practice for the performance of facility configuration management. Facility configuration management provides decision-making visibility and a systematic management approach for efficient planning and implementation of facility improvements. This standard practice allows the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish and maintain a source of accurate technical data. The availability of this data will significantly enhance implementation and coordination activities while helping to reduce costs and schedule slips associated with the fielding of Capital Investment Plan (CIP) projects.

Purpose. Facility baselines provide current and consistent facility technical documentation and information. They ensure that planners and engineers have access to the technical information needed for facility engineering, management analyses, development of budgetary estimates, and transition planning for facilities. Facility baselines have an improved national level of consistency, which allow drawings and data to be more readily used to support both national and regional level planning, budgeting and engineering requirements.
