Florida Aviation Database

Challenge: The Florida Department of Transportation Aviation Office was in need of a way to store, manage, and most of all analyze information and data.

Solution: As a data-driven company, Panther built a customized system that met the needs of the Florida Department of Transportation. FAD (Florida Aviation Database) is a web-based solution that facilitates data and customer management.

Outcome: The FAD is more than a database. It is a robust and intelligent system that streamlines the collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, and reporting of information. Gone are the days of paper files, missing documents, multiple software programs, and reporting errors. FAD simplified the process and increased the analytic capabilities with an easy to use, dynamic reporting feature.

One example of time saved and accuracy ensured can be seen with the applications used by the Florida Aviation Inspection and Licensing department.  Every public airport in Florida is inspected and licensed by the state.  The inspection information is uploaded in the FAD one time and automatically updates the Facility Information Directory, published airport directory, mailing lists, system plans, and the National Flight Data Center.

The Joint Automated Capital Improvement Program (JACIP) application is a grant management system that allows the State of Florida and the FAA to better coordinate and manage their aviation grants.  The accurate and dynamic listing of aviation needs has increased federal grants to the state's airports.

FAD's "Contact Manager Module with its Emergency notification Overlay" was used by the FDOT in coordination with the FAA and FDLE to immediately close all of Florida's airports following the events of September 11.

"People are talking about the terrific program we have that let us notify so many airports in less than a few seconds!"
--Richard Duley, FDOT Aviation Office (September 12, 2001)
