Reclaim your time with the ability to collect, maintain, facilitate, and report the state’s airport network for all aviation stakeholders. Insight from BlackCat Aviation allows the state to increase the delivery of federal funding to more airport projects across the state than ever before. Take advantage of robust search capabilities and extensive facility data, including:

• General information, geographic data, runway/helipad, based aircraft, operations, services, photos, ALPs and sketches, fixed-based operators, and other resource documents.
• 5010 data elements, state inspection fields, and the ability to customize to include your state-specific inspection fields.

Provide a comprehensive view of the airport community as well as individual airport profiles, complete with a variety of statistics, service information, geographic data, and even airport layout pictures or diagrams.

• Dynamically create airport directory pages in an electronic format, and benefit from selecting and printing individual facilities or downloading a complete directory for all of your state’s facilities.
• Created directly from the data contained in the BlackCat Aviation system, the directory is available in real-time and can be linked to your state’s DOT aeronautics website.

Seamlessly manage your application development with the click of a button, eliminate inefficient processing time, effectively build accurate funding scenarios, disburse grant funding for airport projects, and be more accountable with federal funds.

• Your airport sponsors develop applications for ready-to-be-funded projects and submit them for your review and approval.
• Scoring and state or federal prioritization criteria can be utilized by reviewers to determine which projects receive funding and in what priority they are addressed.

Move your entire grant management process into a simplified and secure online system with a robust grant management solution that offers cradle-to-grave grantmaking software for aviation:

• Efficiently manage CIP development, project and application submission, application review and approval, encumbrance, and contract activities – including creating the contract managing milestone and project checklists, collecting project documents, invoicing, and closeout.

Benefit from a powerful tool that allows you to develop and maintain individual grant profiles and balancing for specific grants based on established programs.

• One or more grants can be created from an existing program by adding details to a grant profile that include the year, program, reauthorization (if federal), award total, grant number, and other identifying or defining information.
• Grants can also be subdivided into “distributions” by region, urbanized area zones, fund types, or other jurisdictions to allow each grant to have sub-values that roll up to a total.
• Once prepared, all line-item allocations and payments made against the grant are calculated and balanced, including totals for what has been awarded, allocated/obligated, encumbered, and spent. Other balances maintained include unallocated, unencumbered, and remaining funds for each distribution as well as the remaining values for the entire grant.
• Fund transfers between grants, carryover funds and recovered funds are also managed and tracked. Once a contract is closed, any remaining balances will display as close-out amounts which can be reallocated as needed.

Be prepared and compliant with the 5010 Airport Safety Inspection Program with BlackCat grantmaking software for aviation. The FAA’s Airport Master Records Safety Inspection (5010) process requires inspection of each public use facility – usually in a three-year, rotating cycle.

• BlackCat grantmaking software for aviation supports the collection and recording of the 5010-related data elements, required forms, and workflow. The system also allows modification for state inspection standards.
• As the FAA continues to develop and enhance the 5010-inspection submission electronic capability, you can rest assured that the system will continue to be updated to accommodate these changing requirements.

Benefit from complete contact management with BlackCat Aviation, including data for all airport-associated contacts; public and personal list creation, management and usage, label creation; mass email capability; and file export.

• Provide credentialed access to all system users so that these users can perform needed tasks in assigned areas.
• Leverage granular access controls for various user roles and types, such as airport, state, reviewer, auditor, and others as warranted. Each user role has its own permissions that define what a user can access and what a user can do.

• Drive efficiency and visibility with document management capabilities at the facility and system level.
• Electronically upload, share, store, categorize, track, and folder various document types with ease.
