FAA Can Better Manage The Aircraft

It Uses To Keep Pilots Current

And Provide Transportation

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spends milions
of dollars annually for aircraft for flight programs to keep
pilots current and to transport people and cargo. However,
more effective management Is needed because:
--Most pilots did not acquire the minimum flight-hours
necessary to remain current, while relatively few
pilots did most of the flying.
--Most passenger transportation flights could have
been made at a much lower cast on commercial
airlines.
--Nonofficial passengers, including spous andother
dependents, routinely traveled on FMA. aircraft. at
Government expense.
--Millions of dollars haveo lt atlod w
are planned to be spnrt arraft without
adequate justification or tion of s coty
alternatives.
GAO is recommending a number of actions by the
Secretary of Trlisportation to improfl FAA's aircraft
management soW to make the flight programs more
efficient and ecoftomical.
