How To Improve The Federal Aviation

Administration's Ability To Deal With

Safety Hazards



Though aviation's safety record is admirable,
there is a great deal of concern both inside
and outside the industry about the Federal
Aviation Administration's effectiveness. What,
if anything, is FAA doing wrong and what can              t1-699
it do to improve its performance?

FAA has not been effective or timely in de-
veloping systems to identify safety hazards.
Also, because it has no overall planning
process, FAA's actions in dealing with in-
dividual safety problems are perceived to be
reactive instead of anticipatory. The agency
has not adequately marshalled its forces to
deal with safety problems quickly and ef-
fectively.

FAA has taken some steps that may improve
its performance. GAO   is recommending
specific procedures, processes, and controls
that should make FAA able to respond more
quickly and effectively to aviation hazards.
