FAA's Progress and Challenges in Meeting FTI Transition Goals
On September 30, 2008, we issued our follow–up audit of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) program. FTI is intended to replace seven FAA–owned and –leased telecommunications networks with a single network to reduce operating costs. We last reported in April 2006 that FTI was unlikely to meet its December 2007 completion date and that FAA needed to improve FTI management controls. The objectives of our follow–up review were to assess FAA’s progress in (1) developing a realistic master schedule and an effective FTI transition plan and (2) mitigating technical risks to ATC operations before activating FTI services and disconnecting existing telecommunications services (by coordinating activities and verifying site–specific requirements). We also examined FAA’s progress in responding to our April 2006 recommendations, including a recommendation that the Agency independently validate FTI cost and benefit estimates.
