Designee Management System -

In 2004, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted an audit of the Delegation Program for the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Office of Aviation Safety (AVS). The audit findings noted a lack of consistent and effective management of Designees AVS-wide, lack of measurable data to ensure quality work from Designees, and lack of accountability from both Designees and FAA for those measures. Designees are private individuals or organizations delegated to act as representatives of the FAA Administrator.FAA demands the highest technical and ethical standards from its Designees, which strengthens public, congressional, and industry confidence in aviation safety. In answer to the GAO audit, the Designee Management System (DMS) has been designed to meet FAA requirements to more effectively monitor Designee activities performed for AVS's Office of Aviation Medicine (AAM), Flight Standards Service (AFS), and Aircraft Certification Service (AIR).
