                     AVIATION  SAFETY HAZARDS

MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS  OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE:               121320

     WE ARE HERE TODAY  TO DISCUSS OUR RECENT FOLLOW-UP REVIEW OF

THE RECOMMENDATIONS  IN OUR FEBRUARY 1980 REPORT ENTITLED,  HOW

TO IMPROVE THE FEDERAL  AVIATION ADMINISTRATION'S ABILITY TO DEAL

WITH SAFETY HAZARDS  (CED-80-66).  SAFETY HAZARDS INCLUDE PROBLEM

AREAS SUCH AS AIRCRAFT  CABIN FIRES AND POST-CRASH FUEL FIRES.

     LET ME SUMMARIZE  BRIEFLY THE MAJOR AREAS NEEDING  IMPROVEMENT

WHICH WERE COVERED  IN OUR REPORT.  FAA DID NOT HAVE:  (1) EFFECTIVE

SYSTEMS FOR  IDENTIFYING SAFETY HAZARDS, (2) A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN-

NING PROCESS TO ADDRESS  AVIATION SAFETY ISSUES, (3) AN ADEQUATE

SYSTEM FOR PREPARING,  REVIEWING, AND APPROVING INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM

PLANS,  (4) AN ADEQUATE SYSTEM OF CONTROLS TO GOVERN THE  IMPLEMEN-

TATION PHASE OF  SAFETY PROJECTS, AND (5) SUFFICIENT EVALUATION

OF SAFETY PROGRAMS AND  PROJECTS.
