Aviation Safety: FAA's Assessment of Pre-flight Service Technology Options

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) funding for its Direct User Access Terminal System (DUATS), focusing on: (1) whether the FAA Flight Service Technology Subcommittee's report was responsive to a congressional reporting requirement; and (2) the statistical validity of a DUATS user survey that FAA used to justify its proposal to terminate fiscal year (FY) 1994 DUATS funding.
