GAO found that --The Department of Defense needs to firm up its plans to acquire T-45 aircraft for training Navy pilots. In doing so, the Navy should be directed to consider extending use of its present aircraft. --The Air Force's T-46A has experienced some cost growth. Its accelerated en- gine development and concurrent test- ing and production are areas of poten- tial concern. --The Air Force planned to begin develop- ment of the Tanker-Transport-Bomber Training System in fiscal year 1983, but the Congress did not authorize% I appropriations for the program in that' year. The Air Force has applied for, fiscal year 1984 approval. 121798 GAO/MA$AD-83-22 lCCOU ,4i~ JULY 5,1983
