The Aviation Planning Desk Guide helps federal aviation managers run their programs better. This guide assists managers with following the rules in OMB Circular A-11 [PDF], Preparations, Submission, and Execution of the Budget gives them the information they need to wisely manage and invest on aircraft and aviation resources.
The Aviation Planning Desk Guide helps managers do the following:
- Decide which aircraft and resources to invest in.
- Start and oversee projects to improve or purchase aircraft.
- Make work processes easier to lower costs and boost effectiveness.
- Set up ways to measure performance.
- Monitor management processes.
- Define and control the total cost of an asset over its entire life-cycle.
To promote excellence in purchasing of aviation assets, the guide also offers detailed instructions, including templates and step-by-step directions, for creating an Aviation Business Case Summary. These tools enable aviation managers to effectively plan for, buy, and use government aircraft to get the best possible return on investment.
