As requested, this group has evaluated the effectiveness of the FAA's Service Difficulty Reporting (SDR) program. The programs objective is to help airline and FAA personnel to promptly correct conditions that could adversely affect air safety. This is accomplished by distributing reports on aircraft malfunctions to airline and FAA personnel. This report centered on the SDR program's impact on the safety of aging airliners in commercial aviation and excluded general aviation. This evaluation covered: (1) the usefulness of the SDR data to FAA and airline personnel; (2) factors affecting the SDR program's usefulness; and (3) changes needed to improve the program, if warranted.
