The Washington Aviation System Plan outlines performance objectives for public-use airports across Washington State, covering operational standards such as pavement condition, runway safety areas, and obstacle clearance. Airports are evaluated against these goals based on their classification level, ranging from Commercial Service to Seaplane Bases, with requirements tailored to each category's role and facilities. All airports, regardless of classification, are expected to maintain up-to-date planning documents and land use compatibility protections to ensure long-term safety and viability.
