USING AVIATION RESOURCES IN THE UNITED STATES MORE EFFICIENTLY

There are 12,000 airfields in the United States and over 4,000 of these serve the general public and military community. The Federal Government spends millions of dollars annually to promote safe operation of aircraft in the Nation's airspace. This report identifies opportunities available to Government agencies to consolidate and share functions and to reduce government investment and expenditures for Federal support of aviation. Selected civilian and military airfields were reviewed to see if any effort is being made to avoid unnecessary duplication and to limit the Government's investment in aviation support.
