The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operates and maintains over 700 instrument landing systems at airports throughout the United States. GAO found that FAA could save about $31 million between now and the year 2000 if it replaced some of its older instrument landing systems with newer systems, which are less costly to operate. GAO also found that FAA could improve overall aviation safety and reduce cost by ensuring that existing systems are located where they are needed most.
