Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed issues concerning the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) effectiveness in ensuring aviation safety in light of recent proposals to make FAA an independent agency. GAO found that: (1) FAA modernization of air traffic control equipment under the National Airspace System (NAS) Plan was one of the largest civilian procurements ever undertaken; (2) NAS costs have risen from the 1981 estimate of $12 billion to an estimated $24 billion by the year 2000; (3) NAS delays have resulted from unrealistic schedules and technology development problems; (4) although FAA must manage over 44,000 personnel to achieve its mission, its staffing standards are inadequate to address its work-force shortages; (5) FAA dependence on the Office of Personnel Management to conduct prospective employee exams and investigations caused hiring delays; (6) Department of Transportation (DOT) oversight of FAA was instrumental in improving security and inspection programs; and (7) although the Aviation Trust Fund had a projected surplus of about $5 billion, legislation restricted the fund's availability to cover work-force salaries and projected needs. GAO believes that Congress may wish to consider: (1) changing the fund's tax and fee structure to provide for its use in financing FAA costs while retaining congressional authorization and appropriation oversight; and (2) whether an independent FAA would best serve the long-term interests of transportation policy and aviation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made progress in addressing the Certification Process and the Regulatory Consistency Committees' recommendations, but as GAO reported in January 2015, challenges remain that could affect successful implementation of FAA's planned actions. FAA is implementing 14 initiatives for addressing 6 certification process recommendations. According to an April 2015 FAA update, 13 initiatives have been completed or are on track to be completed, and 1 will not meet planned milestones. In January 2015, FAA published a detailed implementation plan for addressing six regulatory consistency recommendations. According to the plan, FAA closed two recommendations-one as not implemented and one as implemented in 2013-and plans to complete the remaining four by July 2016. While FAA has made some progress, it is too soon for GAO to determine whether FAA's planned actions adequately address the recommendations. However, industry stakeholders indicated concerns regarding FAA's efforts, including concerns about a lack of communication with and involvement of stakeholders as FAA implements the two committees' recommendations. Since GAO reported in January 2015, FAA has been addressing these concerns. In January 2015, GAO also reported that representatives of 15 selected U.S. aviation companies that GAO interviewed reported facing various challenges in obtaining foreign approvals of their products, including challenges related to foreign civil aviation authorities (FCAA) as well as challenges related to FAA."

This report addresses these questions: (1) What is the nature and scope of the oversight of repair stations conducted by FAA personnel? (2) How well does FAA follow up on inspections to ensure that identified deficiencies in repair station operations are corrected? (3) What steps has FAA taken to improve the oversight of repair stations? Charts and tables.
