BY THE US. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

Report To The Secretary Of Transportation








The Federal Aviation Administration

Can Improve The Operation Of Its

General Aviation District Offices



General aviation accidents and fatalities have
been declining, but there is still room for im-
provement, particularly in preventing pleasu re-H
flying accidents. Lack of inspectors or failure
to use them more efficiently has resulted in                           115702
deficiencies in certain inspection and monitor-
ing activities and educational efforts aimed at
pleasure flyers and others.

The Federal Aviation Administration has
recognized its staffing problems and has
recently hired additional inspectors. It also
plans to use office automation equipment to
increase inspector productivity. GAO could
not determine if these steps will solve FAA's
staffing problems because FAA has not ade-
quately identified its specific staffing needs or
the extent to which the automation equipment
will increase productivity.

To adequately determine its staffing needs,
FAA should develop a work force planning
process based on district office objectives,
work tasks, and up-to-date staffing standards.
GAO also recommends other ways to im-.
prove district office operations.
