2. Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) The biennial Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is the element of the California Aviation System Plan (CASP) required by State law PUC 21702-21706. Projects in the CIP are selected for funding under the California Aid to Airports Program (CAAP). This CIP shows 5 to 10 years of projects that reflect the federal ACIP projects. Airport IQ is now used as the State airport database system. Project descriptions can now be entered online by airport sponsors and their representatives. This streamlined application was available for the 2007 CIP development.

3. Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) CIP compiles capital needs for California’s public-use, public-owned airports. CIP serves as an unconstrained fiscal estimate for current and future airport development projects. A project must be in the CIP in order to obtain State funding.
