Federal Aviation Administration Draft Advisory Circular 150/5360-14A, Access to Airports by Individuals with Disabilities

1.3 Architectural Standards.

The following architectural standards were used as a basis for this AC:

1.3.1 Americans with Disabilities Act ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
The ADA standards are issued by DOJ and DOT, and apply to facilities covered by the ADA in new construction and alterations. DOJ’s standards apply to all facilities covered by the ADA, except public transportation facilities, which are subject to DOT’s standards. Both standards are very similar and are closely based on the Board’s ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). However, each contains a few unique provisions, which are included in the 2010 edition of the standards. http://www.access214board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/buildings-and-sites/about-the-ada-standards/ada215standards.

1.3.2 Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS).
The ABA Accessibility Standards have been adopted by the General Services Administration (GSA), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). (The USPS standards do not include the non-mandatory advisory notes.) http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/buildings-and-sites/about-the221aba-standards/aba-standards.
