Book excerpt: In the approach and landing phase of aircraft flights, precision approach landing systems are the primary means of navigation during inclement weather or other adverse conditions that limit visibility. During the early 1980's, the Federal Aviation Administration demonstrated that the Microwave Landing System (Microwave System) could replace the Instrument Landing System. Based on congressional direction, the Federal Aviation Administration stated in a biennial Federal Radionavigation Plan that the Microwave System would be the standard precision landing aid for civilian and military aviation. In January 1983, the Air Force was designated the lead Military Department for Microwave System activities and was tasked to submit a plan, in coordination with the other Military Departments to the Office of the Secretary of Defense. On June 2, 1994, the Federal Aviation Administration decided to halt further development of the Microwave System for categories 2 and 3 precision approach landings and canceled two contracts for that development. Category 2 and 3 precision landing systems can guide an aircraft to a 100 foot and 50 foot or under decision point, respectively. The Federal Aviation Administration indicated that the Global Positioning System can already handle nonprecision approach landings and that the Global Positioning System bas great potential to provide precision approach landings. The Air Force Microwave System program is valued at about $224.5 million. The audit objective was to assess the DoD evaluation of current technologies to satisfy precision landing requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) 1988 budget request to procure the required technologies for the National Airspace System (NAS) plan, focusing on the status of four of its major systems. GAO noted that: (1) all of the systems have experienced schedule delays ranging from 1 year to 8 years because FAA underestimated their complexity, the time required for systems software development, and the system's interdependency; (2) recent changes to the FAA procurement system should speed up acquisition of the Advanced Automation System and the Automated Radar Terminal Warning System; and (3) over the past 3 years, the FAA systems engineering and integration services contract has increased over $200 million, the contractor's responsibilities have expanded, and the contractor has received 80 percent of the available performance award bonuses despite delays and cost overruns. GAO found that: (1) FAA plans to award a technical support services contract in June 1988 at an estimated cost of $350 million to $400 million; (2) NAS plan delays have postponed almost $38 billion in anticipated aviation user benefits; and (3) schedule delays have resulted in an estimated $5.6-billion unused balance in the airport and airway trust fund. GAO believes that Congress should: (1) appropriate the $130 million FAA requested for the radar terminal system; (2) not appropriate funds for a second procurement of microwave landing systems until FAA revises its implementation strategy; (3) continue to support FAA consolidation of its flight service stations; and (4) consider appropriating funds for the installation of automated weather observing systems.
