Here are the results of an audit of the FAA¿s mgmt. and maint. of air traffic control facilities. The FAA has invested billions of dollars in new equipment for handling increasingly higher levels of air traffic in more complex airspace. However, the facilities that house those systems are deteriorating. As FAA begins implementing plans for the Next Generation Air Transp. System, it will be critical to determine the type and number of facilities that will be needed to support the envisioned architecture. This audit determined if FAA has: (1) developed and implemented a comprehensive strategy to effectively manage the replacement, repair, and modernization of its air traffic control facilities; and (2) allocated sufficient funds to carry out those activities.
