Manage Aviation Programs

GSA has developed the Aviation Planning Desk Guide to help aviation managers improve their Federal aviation programs. This useful planning tool assists managers in meeting OMB Circular A-11 requirements and equips them with the knowledge to wisely manage and invest in aviation assets.

The Aviation Planning Desk Guide helps managers:

• Evaluate and select aviation asset investments
• Initiate and manage projects to improve or acquire aircraft
• Simplify work processes to reduce costs and improve effectiveness
• Institute performance measures
• Monitor management processes
• Define and control life-cycle cost methodology

Aviation Business Case Summary (ABCS): To encourage excellence in the acquisition of aviation assets, the Aviation Planning Desk Guide also provides detailed guidance for the development of an ABCS, including templates and general step-by-step directions. These tools allow aviation managers to effectively plan, procure, and use Government aircraft to achieve the maximum return on investment.
