Hydrographic Service Review Panel FAA use of NOAA Services HSRP George P. Sempeles 17 September 2015
Long, long relationship Oldest scientific agency in the United States • “Survey of the Coast” established February 10, 1807 by Thomas Jefferson • Renamed “US Coast and Geodetic Survey” in 1878 • USC&GS transferred to Commerce & Labor Department in 1903 • Air Commerce Act of 1926 directs US C&GS to begin charting the nations airways and providing weather services to civilian aviation • 1927 the first aeronautical chart was published, Kansas City to Moline, Illinois • 1946 Airports Obstructions Chart program began
Long, long relationship • 1957 the first aerial photographic mission performed by C&GS • 1959 first survey using photogrammetry • NOAA created in 1970 by Richard Nixon, C&GS reorganized to National Ocean Survey of which aeronautical services were assigned • Reorganized in 1977, aeronautical services assigned to Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Services • 1994, Airports Navigations Approach (ANA) program began • 2000, Public Law 106-181 transferred aeronautical charting functions from NOAA to the FAA
But…the NOAA-FAA relationship didn’t stop in 2000 as a result of the transfer
