Abstract:The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), within the Department of
Transportation (DOT), is responsible for promoting safety in civil air
transportation. General Accounting Office (GAO) and DOT's Office of Inspector
General review FAA's safety programs, and the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB) investigates aviation accidents. The three organizations make
recommendations to FAA aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of
FAA's activities and functions and at improving aviation safety. This report
focuses on two questions.
1) What has FAA's overall record been in responding to, agreeing with, and
implementing significant recommendations concerning aviation safety made by
GAO, DOT's Inspector General and the from 1990 through 1994?
2) To what extent have GAO's specific recommendations in the areas of aircraft
certification, airline inspections, and oversight of foreign carriers and
NTSB's recommendations concerning safety on runways been fully implemented? 63p.
