Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Airspace System (NAS) Plan to determine: (1) the additional resources that modernization would require before realizing its benefits; (2) the causes and effects of development delays that the most costly and complex NAS Plan projects have experienced; and (3) FAA weaknesses in managing the plan. GAO found that: (1) although FAA awarded contracts to develop or produce 80 of the 92 projects, including 8 of the major systems needed to upgrade the air traffic control (ATC) system, the projects were an average of 3 years behind schedule; (2) because new projects and changes to existing projects expanded the extent of modernization, FAA would need at least $25 billion in appropriations by the year 2000; (3) FAA lacked experience in developing and integrating large-scale systems and put several of its major systems into full production without adequate testing and evaluation; (4) FAA underestimated the size and complexity of the development effort, which led to additional performance requirements and software design difficulties; (5) FAA overstated some projects' benefits, which made trade-offs difficult among projects whose benefits had high passenger-time-savings components; (6) FAA runs the risk that the planned testing of its major systems will not be objective due to program managers' competing goals of achieving a timely, working system within budget; (7) FAA implemented a long-range planning policy to ensure that it would effectively integrate the separate plans for the interrelated NAS components; and (8) the NAS Plan needed revisions to include all the projects for modernization, correctly estimate many project benefits, and better coordinate the NAS Plan with other FAA plans for building airports, making airspace changes, and managing human resources.

This book was released on 1962-09-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airspace is an important resource and its proper or improper utilization will have a profound effect upon the future welfare of the United States. The use of airspace will have an impact not only on transportation, public safety, economics and military posture, but also on the public's convenience and pleasure. It was in recognition of this that the Federal Aviation Agency was directed by the President of the United States in 1961 to conduct a scientific, engineering review of our aviation facilities and related research and development and to prepare a practicable long-range plan to insure efficient and safe control of all air traffic within the United States. This plan must provide for an orderly and economic evolution of the present system of air traffic control in pace with continuing advances in technology and national needs. The resultant Project Beacon Report completed in October 1961 and approved by the President November 7, 1961, provided the scientific, engineering review and guidelines for the practicable long-range plan. Accordingly, a System Design Team was formed within the Systems Research and Development Service of the Federal Aviation Agency to carry forward the guidelines of the Project Beacon Report into a detailed and comprehensive system plan. On June 30, 1962, the first edition of this long-range plan for the National Airspace Utilization System was completed. Because the problems are complex and extensive, the plan itself is voluminous and the details on which it is based are highly technical. Yet it is important that the essence of this plan be understood by many people who cannot afford the time to study the details of the plan. This summary describes all essential elements of the plan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) mission is to promote the safe, orderly, & expeditious flow of air traffic in the U.S. airspace system. To this end, FAA is modernizing its air traffic control systems, a multibillion dollar effort that has been designated as a high-risk program. Research into the practices of successful public- & private-sector organizations has shown that developing & using an enterprise architecture, or blueprint, to guide & constrain systems investments is crucial to the success of such a modernization effort. This report determines whether FAA has established an effective processes for managing the development & implementation of an enterprise architecture. Includes recommendations. Charts & tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) planning, management, and acquisition of existing and future automated systems for air traffic control (ATC) and management. GAO found that the National Airspace System (NAS) Plan is a step in the right direction toward modernizing facilities and equipment and toward supporting needed engineering and research. However, FAA has not yet developed a comprehensive agencywide long-range plan and the NAS plan is incomplete because it does not address its long-range requirements. The NAS plan considers only the ATC system facilities and equipment, one of three major areas which make up the system. GAO also found that the management, planning, and acquisition of en route and terminal ATC automation projects have not been adequate. In addition, a review of communications and navigations projects disclosed technical problems, uncoordinated implementation schedules, and questionable user acceptance of the projects. GAO believes that FAA efforts to realign automation engineering functions and establish a central program office for the computer replacement project will help to improve management control; however, some automation functions still need to be integrated. FAA is experiencing delays and cost overruns in many systems and software development projects designed to implement safety and fuel efficiency improvements. On the communications projects which GAO reviewed, it found technical problems and a need for further testing and cost analysis.
Download or read book The Future of Air Traffic Control written by Panel on Human Factors in Air Traffic Control Automation and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-02-09 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automation in air traffic control may increase efficiency, but it also raises questions about adequate human control over automated systems. Following on the panel's first volume on air traffic control automation, Flight to the Future (NRC, 1997), this book focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers, with a growing network of automated functions in the airspace system. The panel offers recommendations for development of human-centered automation, addressing key areas such as providing levels of automation that are appropriate to levels of risk, examining procedures for recovery from emergencies, free flight versus ground-based authority, and more. The book explores ways in which technology can build on human strengths and compensate for human vulnerabilities, minimizing both mistrust of automation and complacency about its abilities. The panel presents an overview of emerging technologies and trends toward automation within the national airspace system--in areas such as global positioning and other aspects of surveillance, flight information provided to pilots an controllers, collision avoidance, strategic long-term planning, and systems for training and maintenance. The book examines how to achieve better integration of research and development, including the importance of user involvement in air traffic control. It also discusses how to harmonize the wide range of functions in the national airspace system, with a detailed review of the free flight initiative.
