The Chairman, Subcommittee on Aviation, House Committee on Public Works and Transportation, asked us to determine whether: (1) the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has sufficient information to provide effective oversight of its inspection program; (2) FAA targets its inspection resources to airlines posing the greatest safety risks; and (3) FAA has a system, similar to the one developed by the Department of Defense (DOD), to assess the performance of those commercial airlines with which it contracts. These objectives also allowed us to follow-up on a central finding in our management review, Department of Transportation: Enhancing Policy and Program Effectiveness Through Improved Management (GAO/RCED-87-3, Apr. 13, 1987), concerning the manner in which FAA allocates inspection resources.
