handle is hein.gao/gaobabbpi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Air Force And Navy Plans To Acquire Trainer Aircraft The Air Force and Navy plan to acquire four different aircraft for training missions. Total costs are expected to be several billion dollars. With one exception, the Air Force Next Gener- ation Trainer and the Navy Undergraduate Jet Flight Training System acquisition pro- grams are generally being conducted in ac- cordance with Office of Management and Budget Circular A- 109. The exception was that the requests for proposals/quotations for each program were too restrictive and precluded consideration of potential alternative solutions. Congressional interest and direction have been toward common aircraft for both the primary and advanced phases of the Navy and Air Force undergraduate pilot training programs. However, Air Force officials now believe there is Ilittle likelihood that the Air Force will use the Navy's advanced trainer aircraft. The Navy's use of the Air Force's primary trainer is also uncertain. GAO believes the Congress should explore the matterfurther with Defense.
