In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA): (1) ability to maintain airline safety standards in a deregulated environment; and (2) actions to correct weaknesses in its inspection program. GAO found that FAA: (1) did not develop a system for monitoring deregulation's impact; (2) decreased its inspection force by 250 between 1981 and 1983, although it did not have staffing standards to provide a framework for determining how many inspectors it needed; (3) failed to collect inspection data and often did not identify major safety problems or ensure their correction through appropriate followup; (4) lacked guidelines concerning the needed frequency and scope of inspections; and (5) gave priority to certifying new airlines while existing airlines were experiencing safety compliance problems due to rapid growth and personnel turnover. GAO also found that FAA has begun to address these problems by: (1) increasing its inspector work force; (2) establishing minimum inspection standards; (3) improving its internal control and management information systems; and (4) instituting a National Inspection Plan (NIP), using specially assembled teams to inspect targeted airlines.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the safety performance of new airlines having 5 or fewer years of operating experience, focusing on: (1) the frequency with which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspects new airlines compared with its inspections of established airlines; and (2) FAA efforts to correct long-standing problems that limit the effectiveness of its safety inspection program. GAO found that: (1) although data regarding airline accidents and FAA incident and enforcement actions require cautious interpretation, it appeared that, for the review period of 1990 through 1994, new airlines had higher rates of accidents, incidents, and FAA enforcement actions than established airlines during their early years of operations; (2) FAA officials theorized that new airlines may experience more incidents because their fleets expand faster than their ability to absorb growth, train staff, and maintain fleets; (3) FAA national inspection guidelines that were in effect during the review period did not target new airlines for increased surveillance; (4) no clear pattern in the inspection rates distinguished airlines with relatively high rates of incidents and enforcement actions from those that had few or no problems; (5) FAA aviation safety inspection program shortcomings include insufficient inspector training, inadequate aviation safety databases, and the need to improve the oversight of aging aircraft; (6) FAA actions to better target its inspection resources to areas with the greatest safety risks remain incomplete; and (7) initiatives to accelerate the hiring of safety inspectors, strengthen FAA data collection and tracking systems, review FAA inspection operations, and conduct a safety review have the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the FAA safety inspection program.

This is a history of flight inspection from 1926 to 1990. Flight inspection is provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ensure that the National Airspace System is the safest and most reliable system in the world. Flight inspection is a term used to define electronic airborne flight checks (quality assurance) of airway navigational ground-based radio aids and space-based satellites assuring their accuracy and performance. Under Public Law, the FAA is responsible for accomplishing these checks. The FAA performs flight inspection services in over 50 countries. Over 100 photos. Bibliography.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspection of airlines and related aviation activities, focusing on whether FAA: (1) has sufficient information to provide effective oversight of its inspection program; (2) targets its inspection resources to airlines posing the greatest safety risks; and (3) has a system similar to the one developed by the Department of Defense (DOD) to assess the performance of commercial airlines with which it contracts. GAO found that: (1) FAA lacks complete and accurate information on its inspection program; (2) without such information, FAA cannot determine whether it achieves inspection priorities, conducts adequate and timely follow-up activities, and uses resources effectively; (3) FAA inspectors spent only 23 percent of their time performing inspections instead of the 35 percent required for fiscal year (FY) 1990; (4) FAA required one operations, maintenance, and avionics inspection annually for each airline, but 36 percent of the airlines did not receive the required inspections in FY 1990; (5) although FAA maintains numerous databases on airline-related safety information, it does not inspect airlines on the basis of safety risk; (6) FAA often spent more inspection time on airlines DOD rated as better performers than on poorer performing airlines; and (7) FAA recognizes that a system similar to the DOD system can help FAA better manage its inspection program and hopes to develop and evaluate a prototype system for air carriers by FY 1993.
