Abstract:
The intent of this paper is to catalogue potential cost-savings ideas which

impact both the FAA and the aviation community. These ideas have come from

various sources including MITRE, Coopers & Lybrand (C&L), FAA studies, General

Accounting Office (GAO), user groups, and the insights of individual staff

members. Some of these ideas are currently being implemented by the FAA to

various degrees but might be expedited if certain implementation problems can

be overcome, including additional capital investment funds. Most, if not all

of these ideas, have opponents. Some have been proposed previously but have met

resistance from stakeholders and/or customers (both internal and external to the

FAA). Savings are separated into two categories: those impacting the FAA's

operating and maintenance costs, and those cost-saving ideas that reduce the

operating costs of airlines and other users. Some "savings" estimates are

actually FAA cost avoidance (i.e., the FAA will not have to increase costs as

much as originally planned or at all). Other "savings" ideas are actually

realigning costs from the FAA to the private sector because of the nature of

the activity. Cost saving opportunities for users in some cases require both

up-front investments and additional follow-on operational and maintenance

support. Our approach is to lay out the cost-savings ideas and associated

issues, describe the impacts on FAA and the aviation community, state the time

frame in which savings might be achieved (near term being up to 2002, mid term

being 2003 to 2007 and far term being 2008 and beyond), describe up-front

investments required, and show projected savings (either annually or the total

through 2002). 24p.
