In the fall of 1997, the newly appointed FAA Administrator
work on the goals that will carry the FAA and aerospace into the new millennium. The
Plan set out these goals, areas for strategic focus, projects to implement them, and outcome '"
performance goals and measures.
The Strategic Plan mission, goals, and strategies (focus areas) established in 1998 remain unchanged. Th
edition of the Strategic Plan document adds a discussion of the aerospace environment under multiple
possible futures and describes current outcome performance goals for the next 5 years and current
projects to implement this plan.
The Strategic Plan is focused around three mission goals: safety, security, and system
efficiency. These aerospace goals stem directly from FAA's legal charter and support the
Department of Transportation's (DOT) 1998 and 2000 Strategic Plans. This plan includes strategies and
outcome performance measures for each goal.
