Summary:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made great strides during the last decade in improving the nation's air traffic control system and ensuring safety. GAO testified that future progress will depend on FAA's addressing concerns about the adequacy of staffing levels, targeting of resources, modernization cost increases and delays, and uncertainties about consolidation and satellites. GAO believes that FAA needs to improve its planning in such areas as modernization of the air traffic control system, airport development, and research and development. Good planning involves a reasonable vision of the future and the ability to break that vision down into measurable increments or goals. GAO believes that through its planning FAA needs to commit itself to appropriate goals that will help guide funding decisions and act as benchmarks for measuring progress.
