The Federal Aviation Administration's new common civil/military microwave landing system is about 5 years behind schedule and research and development will cost between $182 to $192 million--approximately $90 to $100 million more than originally estimated. Large amounts of money are still being invested for ground equipment for the existing system. Recognizing these continued investments, along with the probable extension to 1995 of instrument landing systems at international airports, existing instrument landing systems at U.S. domestic airports should be continued in accordance with a mutually agreeable microwave landing system implementation plan.
