Federal Aviation Act Of 1938

Before the Deregulation Act of 1978, the airline industry was federally regulated in regards to

The odds are that at some point in time, most people in America will travel by air. What most of these people do not realize is that a simple flight is in reality a well-oiled, complex machine unlike any other air navigation service provider in the world. After the Wright brothers took their first successful flight, America embraced air travel.  The Federal Aviation Agency (now Administration) officially began operations in May of 1958, and later developed a sophisticated air traffic control system that is responsible for the largest volume of air traffic in the world (“A Brief History of the FAA”). Today, however, many politicians believe that government involvement in air traffic control is inhibiting the overall performance of air traffic control. Several bills have been proposed to Congress since the 1970s in attempt to separate air traffic control (referenced as ATC) from the FAA by privatization, corporatization, or other means (Elias 2). The most recent of these bills has caused serious debate in the aviation world over economic policies, safety regulations, and overall effectiveness of the current ATC system. The Aviation Innovation, Reform, and Reauthorization Act (21st Century AIRR Act) as proposed by Representative Bill Shuster should not be passed by Congress because it would privatize air traffic control by removing it from the Federal Aviation Administration. This would entail the creation of a board of stakeholders who would have the power to make regulatory

On November 18, 2001, President George W. Bush signed the law the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA). This act established the Transportation Security Act (TSA), which merged the security efforts with the Department of Transportation (DOT) (Blalock, G., Kadiyali, V., & Simon, D. H.. (2007). The act also authorized a few very important changes in the security procedures, including the federalization of security screening for passengers and the requirement to screen all checked baggage (Blalock, G., Kadiyali, V., & Simon, D. H..

The Air Commerce Act of 1926 is responsible for the creation of this fledgling department. The Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce was tasked with improving the safety standards in aviation. The task of improving safety is balanced with the chore establishing new standards surrounding navigation, aircraft certifications and pilot licensing. These new regulations also provided the federal

With jet travel quickly developing and becoming something that will be common soon, there was need for more laws regarding air travel, thus the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 was passed. At this point, the CAA and CAB essentially became the FAA (Agency). The FAA was responsible for a common civil-military system of air navigation and air traffic control. Also, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was created in the wake of the Soviet satellite launch.

On October 24, 1978, President Carter signed into law the Airline Deregulation Act. The purpose of the law was to effectively get the federal government out of the airline business. By allowing the airlines to compete for their customers' travel dollars, was the thinking, that fares would drop and an increased number of routes would spring up.

From the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, safety was one of the primary concerns of the public. Within 11 years, aircraft as a form passenger travel was expanding rapidly. As a result, the skies quickly became crowded and accidents were occurring both in the air and on the ground. Fearing that air transit would not reach its full economic potential, the Air Commerce Act of 1926 (ACA) was enacted (Dilger, 2003). The ACA established uniform safety rules for carriers, required pilot licensing, and standardized routes. As a result, deaths from aircraft accidents reduced from one in every 1.4 million miles flown in 1927 to every 13 million miles (Dilger, 2003). The ACA paved the way for the Federal Aviation Administration in 1956.

Throughout the development of the United States and its economy, transportation has been the catalyst as well as sometimes the prohibitor of growth from industry to industry and region to region. As supply chains have become more globalized, so has the need for a more efficient and accessible transportation infrastructure within the country to allow greater access to newer markets overseas. By having such a crucial role in U.S commerce over the years, there has been fluctuations in the amount of regulation drawn up by the government and enforced by federal agencies and the courts. In this case, the railroad, trucking and air industry’s have reflected the national trends of regulation and deregulation movements over the last 15 years.

Within the past decade, there has been large talk about ATC privatization. Air Traffic Control (ATC) are the individuals which keep the aircraft operating efficiently and safely while in the national airspace system. ATC Privatization is removing the air traffic control services out of the government's hands and into a privatized corporation. The FAA or Federal Aviation Administration, is a branch of the Department of Transportation which is solely responsible for the rules and regulations in which certificated pilots must adhere to when operating aircraft within the United States national airspace system.

Once the ANAA was created, the FAA could no longer ignore complaints about aircraft noise and had to work toward goals to reduce the impact of noise on citizens. Additionally, many amendments and revisions have been implemented in the years following the ANAA. Some of these include a requirement in 1972, to consult with the

A conference was initiated by the US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, in which all the allied powers as well as some neutral governments convened at Chicago to discuss the future of civil aviation. The expectations from this conference, which came to be known as the Chicago Convention, were high even though the timing of the convention wasn’t perfect. The Chicago Convention proposed the formation of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which later became a part of the UN in 1947. The ICAO contains universal rules covering airspace sovereignty, aircraft registration and airworthiness, and global Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) for technical and safety harmonization records of the national
