• Abstract:
  What does FAA with its worldwide organization, its 58,000 employees and its $3 billion annual budget, accomplish in a given year? This report is an attempt to answer that question as fully as possible for a representative year--in this case, the agency's 50th. Its activities were chosen for in-depth examination for at least three principal reasons: first, because the year was an important landmark in the agency's history justifying such an examination; second, because the review would provide a valuable benchmark for measuring the accomplishments of future years; and third, because much of what the agency accomplished during the year was addressed to meeting the challenges of the '80's - the crucial eighth decade of the 20th century in which we now find ourselves.
