DOT IG To Audit FAA Terminal Modernization At Large TRACONs

Audit Requested By The House Committee On Appropriations

The DOT Office of Inspector General plans to initiate an audit on the FAA's terminal modernization efforts at large Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities. The audit is being conducted at the direction of a House Committee on Appropriations report.

According to the IG, the success of FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) depends in part on modernizing air traffic systems controllers used to manage traffic near airports. To achieve this goal, FAA is installing the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) at 11 large TRACONs. Our audit objective is to assess FAA’s progress in ensuring STARS meets FAA requirements at the 11 large TRACONs and supports NextGen capabilities.

The audit was scheduled to begin in October. It will be conducted at FAA Headquarters, the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City, NJ, and selected TRACONs.
