Definition
An information resources management plan (IRMP) is an FAA planning document that describes how the agency will acquire, manage, and use its information technology, data, and related resources to support its mission. It sets priorities, outlines investments, and aligns IT activities with operational and regulatory needs.
Plain English
It is the FAA's plan for managing its computer systems, data, and information tools so that money and effort go toward the things that matter most.
Context Anchor
Seen in FAA acronym lists and administrative material; it is not normally a cockpit procedure, flight maneuver, or radio phrase.
Why Pilots Care
A pilot may see IRMP in FAA or airport-related paperwork and should recognize it as an administrative planning term, not as an instruction for operating the aircraft.
Intuition Check
Do not read IRMP as a pilot’s personal plan for gathering flight information. In this context, it refers to an organization’s plan for managing its information and related systems.
Example Sentence 1
The agency referenced its IRMP when justifying the upgrade of several internal data systems.
Example Sentence 2
The FAA division revised its IRMP to improve how aviation safety data is stored and shared across offices.
