AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL: STATUS OF FAA'S MODERNIZATION PROGRAM

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) air traffic control (ATC) modernization program, known from its inception in 1981 until 1989 as the National Airspace System (NAS) Plan, is now known as the Aviation System Capital Investment Plan (CIP). The 1991 CIP incorporates projects from the original NAS Plan that are incomplete, plus about 150 additional projects. To assist Congress in the fiscal year 1993 FAA Facilities and Equipment budget and in its continued oversight of the CIP, this Briefing Report provides cost and schedule information on the CIP as a whole as well as on specific projects within that plan.
