Who is GCR & Associates, Inc.?
Under contract to the FAA, GCR & Associates, Inc. (GCR) developed 5010Web.com, a web-based application allowing federal and state airport inspectors the ability to transmit inspection data to the FAA directly over a secured Internet application. Since 2004, through an annual grant from the FAA, GCR is responsible for the National Airport Safety Data Collection Program (collection of safety data for all non-primary public and private airports in NFDC database). The program consists of field inspections being accomplished by state aviation departments. In cases where the state agency expresses a need for assistance, GCR subcontracts the inspection services to Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). GCR compensates those state departments and SIUC for all inspections through the FAA’s GCR grant. Under the terms of this grant, GCR designs and arranges training seminars in FAA Form 5010-1 inspection procedures twice a year.
