Report To The Secretary

Of Transportation





FAA Could Improve Overall

Aviation Safety And Reduce

Costs Associated With Airport

Instrument Landing Systems


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
operates and maintains over 700 instru-
ment landing systems at airports through-
out the United States. GAO found that FAA
could save about $31 million between now
and the year 2000 if it replaced some of its
older instru ment landing systems with newer
systems, which are less costly to operate.

GAO also found that FAA could improve
overall aviation safety and reduce cost by
ensuring that existing systems are located
where they are needed most. This would
include a $792,000 savings in equipment
purchases if 11 existing systems that do not
appear to meet FAA's safety and operational
efficiency criteria at their present locations
are relocated instead of acquiring 11 new
systems as the Secretary of Transportation
proposes.
