handle is hein.gao/gaobackqy0001 and id is 1 raw text is: )Y2bt, United States GAO General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-258242 September 26, 1994 The Honorable Wendell H. Ford Chairman, Subcommittee on Aviation Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for ensuring aviation safety with fewer staff in a much more advanced and challenging technological environment than in the past. Now more than ever, FAA needs to effectively train its smaller, less experienced workforce to conduct the agency's activities. After FAA studies, completed in 1988, identified widespread problems in its training system, the agency undertook two major efforts to upgrade and modernize its training system: The Flight Plan for Training, developed in January 1989, outlined the initiatives and projects needed to improve training, and the Technical Training Management System (TTMS), introduced in September 1992, established a customer- driven approach for managing technical training. Concerned about whether FAA's efforts to upgrade and modernize its training system are adequate in today's rapidly changing technological environment, you asked us to provide you with information on the progress FAA has made to improve its technical training system. Specifically, this correspondence (1) provides information on the cost and status of the Flight Plan initiatives and (2) identifies the manner in which TTMS affects FAA's technical training programs. Of the initial $406 million cost estimate for the Flight Plan, FAA expected to fund about $282 million from the operations account and about $124 million from the facilities and equipment account. As agreed with your office, we did not include facilities and equipment expenditures in our review. GAO/RCED-94-296R, FAA Technical Training
