How it works
01
Set up the airport job
Create a job in Gradelog, enter design elevations from FAA plan sheets, configure station intervals and tolerance per AC 150/5370-10 for your section.
02
Log grade shots at 50-ft stations
Enter as-built elevations as your crew checks grade. Each station gets instant pass/fail. Failing stations are highlighted for immediate corrective action.
03
Correct and retest
Rework out-of-tolerance stations, reshoot to confirm, and document corrective action notes and photos. The full history goes into the submittal.
04
Submit the FAA report to the CDA
Generate the FAA Airport Grade Report and share the link with your CDA. They review and approve digitally — your job file shows a timestamped acceptance record.
Common questions
What is the FAA AC 150/5370-10 grade report requirement?
FAA Advisory Circular AC 150/5370-10 (Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports) requires quality control grade verification on all airfield earthwork and pavement projects. Grade checks must be performed at 50-foot station intervals with tolerances of ±0.04 ft for subgrade and ±0.02 ft for base course. Results must be documented in a QC report submitted to the Construction Document Administrator (CDA) for acceptance.
What does an FAA Airport Grade Report include?
An FAA Airport Grade Report includes: project name, airport identifier (FAA location ID), CDA name, contractor information, date, station identifiers, design elevations, as-built elevations, elevation deviation, tolerance threshold, and pass/fail status for every check point. The report also includes GPS coordinates, instrument calibration reference, and the QC inspector's name and certification. Gradelog's FAA Airport Grade Report template meets these requirements.
Which Gradelog plan includes the FAA Airport Grade Report?
The FAA Airport Grade Report is available on the Enterprise plan ($499/mo). Enterprise includes all 7 report types, white-label branding for CDA submittals, unlimited jobs, and dedicated support for federal-aid project documentation requirements.
How do I share an FAA report with the CDA?
Generate the FAA Airport Grade Report in Gradelog and copy the share link. Send the link to your CDA via email or your project communication platform. The CDA opens the link in any browser, reviews the grade table and GPS data, downloads the PDF, and approves or rejects digitally. Their decision is timestamped in your Gradelog job record. No CDA account is required.
