Write in concise clear sentences. Check your spelling and grammar and read your sentences out loud to ensure they make sense. 2. Cite your sources within your text. For example: “According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the population of Brevard County will grow at a rate of 1.5 percent over the next ten years.” 3. Do not use abbreviations within the main body of the document. For example, the symbol for feet or the abbreviation ft. should not be used. Write out the word feet. Similarly, symbols such as % should be written out in full as percent. Symbols in tables are acceptable if there is insufficient space for the full text. 4. You may use acronyms in the main body of the report. However, they should be fully defined the first time they are used. Do not assume the reader knows what they stand for. For instance: Medium-Intensity Approach Lighting System with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR). After defining the acronym, it may be then used in subsequent text. 5. When using single digit numbers in the main body of the text write out the number and place the numeral itself in brackets. For example: “in 2010, the airport had three (3) active FBOs. If your sentence starts with a number, write out the number regardless of the number of digits. 6. Read other planning study reports to see how information is written out or expressed. 5 AVM 3201 – Aviation Planning Paper Outline Existing Conditions at Deer Valley Airport GRADING RUBRIC MAXIMUM POINTS Grammar Report is clear and eloquent and proper grammar and spelling is used. 10 Content Meets Minimum Page Requirement 5 Airport Background 10 Existing Airport Facilities 15 Regional Setting 15 Socioeconomic Trends 15 Off-Airport Land Use and Transportation Network 10 Current Airport Issues 10 Format Report figures and tables appropriately titled and sourced and placed in an appendix.
