What's New?
By Mike Speidel

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has released a draft version of Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5340-1M "Standards for Airport Markings" that will eventually cancel 150/5340-1L. This AC contains the standards for markings used on airport runways, taxiways, and aprons.

An Industry Letter has also been published and available on the FAA's website with instructions on how to submit comments to the primary author for consideration. From what I'm told, you can expect the newest version of the 5340 to become official this summer.

We will be discussing the impacts of these proposed changes and what they mean to your marking projects at each of our 2017 Airfield Marking Symposiums.
