Rich,

Annex 14 is the main ICAO document on airport design standards. There is a handy link in the sticky’d threads at the top of ‘Tech Log’ to an electronic version of it.

There are some other ICAO documents but these are peripheral and 99.9% of airport design can be done using Annex 14. The other documents go into more detail in certain areas. I use mainly Parts 1-3 of the following:

Aerodrome Design Manual (Doc 9157)
Part 1 — Runways
Part 2 — Taxiways, Aprons and Holding Bays
Part 3 — Pavements
Part 4 — Visual Aids
Part 5 — Electrical Systems

Some other airport aspects are covered in the following, but some of them are quite dated and not of as much value:

Airport Planning Manual (Doc 9184)
Part 1 — Master Planning
Part 2 — Land Use and Environmental Control
Part 3 — Guidelines for Consultant/Construction Services

Airport Services Manual (Doc 9137)
Part 1 — Rescue and Fire Fighting
Part 2 — Pavement Surface Conditions
Part 3 — Bird Control and Reduction
Part 4 — Fog Dispersal (withdrawn)
Part 5 — Removal of Disabled Aircraft
Part 6 — Control of Obstacles
Part 7 — Airport Emergency Planning
Part 8 — Airport Operational Services
Part 9 — Airport Maintenance Practices

There is a heliport manual, but Annex 14 Vol 2 also covers heliports. The manual is:
Heliport Manual (Doc 9261).
