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.
