Effective Fuel Conservation

,Programs Could Save Millions

Of Gallons Of Aviation Fuel

Department of Transportation

Civil Aeronautics Board
Federal Energy Administration

Aviation fuel conservation has not received
the attention it deserves. The Federal Gov-
ernment needs to do more; specifically:

--Congressional action is needed to re-
duce the fuel consumed in transport-
ing empty seats. About 4.2 billion gal-
lons were used for this purpose in
1976.

--The Federal Aviation Administration
also needs to (1) monitor its fuel con-
servation programs, (2) hold all aircraft
on the ground to the extent possible
when excessive delays are encountered
at destination airports, and (3) develop
program guidance to evaluate trade-offs
between noise abatement and fuel con-
servation objectives when conflicts
occur.
