Aviation safety Budget information

 

 

The division of aviation safety is essentially always working with three budgets:

 

They are either:

 

-         Executing, or operating under a current budget

-         Defending a budget on the hill

-         Formulating X year+2/1 budget (will explain this)

 

The execution of the current year is just that, they are operating within the current budget. They will be defending a budget in Congress in Feb of every year. From May until Feb they are formulating the X year + 2 budget.

 

 

The stages for budget formulation are as follows:

 

In FY 05:

 

-         May 05, Budget FY07 formulation begins.

-         June 05, Budget FY07 Submitted to DOT. DOT the gives feedback.

-         Sep05, Budget FY07 Submitted to the Office of Management for budget (essentially the budget arm of the President). This office then gives feedback.

-         Feb 06, Budget FY07 Submitted to Congress.

-         Oct 06, FY07 budget acted upon.

 

This is how they overlap.
