Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date March 15, 1999
Report No. T-AIMD/RCED-99-118
Subject
Summary:

A host of critical Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operations from the targeting of airlines for inspections to the relaying of up-to-date weather conditions to pilots and air traffic controllers depends on computer systems. Unless these systems are readied for the upcoming date change at the turn of the century, hundreds of thousands of travelers could be inconvenienced, airline costs could rise, flights could be grounded or delayed, and safety levels could be affected. This testimony focuses on (1) FAA's progress so far, (2) the agency's self-reported data showing how much remains to be done, (3) the challenges that FAA faces in ensuring its internal systems will work, (4) the risks associated with external organizations especially airports and international entities, and (5) the critical need for business continuity and contingency plans that spell out how aviation operations will continue should systems fail.
