REPORT BY THE U.S.                                                 1( (744



General Accounting Office


FAA's Program To Automate

Flight Service Stations:

Status And Needs



The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
plans to spend about $175 million automa-
ting flight service stations. General aviation
pilots can then obtain weather and other in-
formation and file flight plans without assist-
ance from flight service specialists.

GAO and FAA agree on the need for auto-
mationtand the concept of pilot self-briefing.
They do not agree on how best to accom-
plish this.

FAA plans to award a production contract
before it has developed the software re-
quired for automation. GAO states FAA
could improve the plan by deleting a portion
of the system and doing more development
during the competitive development phase.

This report recommends action to develop a
better system than under the FAA program
and to encourage pilots to use it.
