This work brings into our attention the use of Geographic Informational Systems (GIS) in the aviation field. The paper is based on topographic measurements of Sibiu airport and reveals in small steps the simplicity of realizing a 3D model helped by software like AutoCAD and ArcGIS. The process whose finality consists of the 3D model of the airport, runways and the surrounding buildings is a clear contrast to its numerous everyday applications. From the obstacle limiting surfaces to the creation of an airport 3D map and model implementation at Google Earth, the GIS applications have definitely proved its power into this field, too.
