Manage Aviation Programs

GSA has developed an Aviation Planning Desk Guide to help aviation managers improve their federal aviation programs. This guide assists aviation managers in meeting OMB Circular A-11 [PDF], Preparations, Submission, and Execution of the Budget 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

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