DOWNLOAD EBOOKGAO 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.

As anyone who has ever flown knows, modern flight offers unparalleled advantages in travel and freedom, but it also comes with grave responsibility and risk. For the first time in its history, the Federal Aviation Administration has put together a set of easy-to-understand guidelines and principles that will help pilots of any skill level minimize risk and maximize safety while in the air. The Risk Management Handbook offers full-color diagrams and illustrations to help students and pilots visualize the science of flight, while providing straightforward information on decision-making and the risk-management process.
