This report presents the results of our review of the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO). The purposes of the JPDO are to manage work related to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS), coordinate Federal research efforts, and create a plan to transition from FAAs existing National Airspace System into the next generation system. At the request of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Aviation Subcommittee, we examined progress to date with the JPDO. As agreed with the requestors, our objectives were (1) assessing the JPDOs progress to date in aligning diverse agency budgets and (2) determining actions that will help the JPDO move from planning to implementation. Also, the Chairman of the House Science Committee requested that we keep his office apprised of the results of our work on the JPDO.
