A Five-Year Development Plan for the California Aviation Database

The California Aviation Database (CAvD) project was suggested by Caltrans Aeronautics Program to fulfill a need of the planners involved in aviation system planning and programming activities to locate and access aviation data and information in an efficient and comprehensive way.  CAvD is being implemented in the form of an Internet website and is currently intended as a five-year project. However, the development can be accelerated, and the duration will depend on the available resources. CAvD is a joint project between the National Center of Excellence for Aviation Operations Research(NEXTOR) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Its primary audiences include Caltrans and other State, regional, county, city and airport agencies.  In this document, the CAvD database and CAvD Internet website are considered synonymous and will be used interchangeably.
