ComptIler General

OF THE UNITED STATES


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
purchased a second prototype, Aviation
Weather and Notice to Airmen System, to
demonstrate the feasibility of consolidating
several stations and collocating them with
the air route traffic control center at Lees-
burg, Virginia.

FAA purchased this new system before it had
completely developed   and  evaluated  the
system's performance capabilities.

FAA did not consider relocating the existing
prototype nor did it reconsider its decision
when still another system proved to be capa-
ble of handling the Leesburg operations.
FAA's action resulted in an unnecessary ac-
quisition at a cost of $2.6 million.
