Conduct aeronautical survey for rnav approach

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) a Project Grant totaling $243,148.42 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to conduct an aeronautical survey for RNAV (Area Navigation) approach procedures. The grant, awarded on September 17, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 16, 2029, supports infrastructure planning and development activities essential to modernizing airport navigation systems across the state.

As the administering state agency, TxDOT will utilize these federal funds to support sub-awards through the Texas State Block Grant Program for nonprimary airports within the state. This structure enables the distribution of Airport Improvement Program funding to eligible airports for infrastructure development and modernization activities that contribute to the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.
