Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program has good long-term outcome measures that focus on increasing aviation safety, creating greater capacity, and ensuring organizational excellence. Managers are held accountable for achieving cost, schedule, and performance targets through the agency's Performance Management System, which is evaluated semi-annually.
  • Projects consistently experience large cost and schedule overruns and the relative benefits are unclear. Capital funding processes have driven management priorities towards discrete priorities rather than comprehensive, integrated, and on-going refresh of operating capabilities.
  • The program provides the necessary equipment and facilities for the FAA to fulfill its mission for a safe, secure, and efficient national airspace system. The program uses a collaborative decision making tool to support resource allocations.
