Federal Aviation Administration

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was created under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 during the Eisenhower presidency. It operates as a governing agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation with the primary mission of providing and ensuring the safest and most efficient civil aviation system throughout the world. The FAA’s civil aviation responsibilities include the regulation of private and commercial aviation activities, non-military and aerospace activities. Before the Federal

In August of 2015, quickly approaching the September 30th renewal of the Federal Aviation Administration’s policies, many regional airlines questioned the amount of time required for commercial pilots to have under their training belt. As of 2013, it is an FAA standard that pilots training for their commercial license must accumulate 1,500 hours before they are considered to have completed the program. While 1,500 hours of flying time, especially for pilots of a commercial airplane, does not seem

Introduction The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a government agency that was formed to regulate and oversee all aspects of American aviation. The FAA was preceded by the Civil Aeronautics Administration and the FAA itself was founded in 1958. However, the FAA was originally the Federal Aviation Agency until 1966, where it was then changed to its current name and assigned to be part of the Department of Transportation due to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958. This agency along with many

of the attacks of 9/11 the United States realized the importance of airline security. In November of 2001 the Government created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to handle the security of airlines, trains, highways, and pipelines. Before hand the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) took care of the airline security such as baggage screening, passenger screening, and general security. At the moment TSA currently runs the security

Although our society has made vast progress by enacting equal opportunity laws, a lot of improvement is yet to be made before employment diversity increases, particularly in the aviation industry. The Federal Aviation Administration is the governing force of Aviation, dealing with all aspects of safety, innovation and aviation related regulations.

operation, what remained were an antitrust exemption, safety and essential air service, which changed the face of Civil Aviation as we knew it (Greenberg, 2013). The deregulation now allowed airlines to set their own routes and not long after in 1982 the airlines could set their own fares. CAB was abolished in 1984 and airline safety was regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Passengers numbers increased due to

Abstract This project will reveal the importance of the rules spelled out in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part121 concerning airline safety. Without strict adherence to these rules, the level of safety is severely compromised and dangers associated with air travel are heightened. Every moving part will be explored including management, dispatch, scheduling, hub coordinators, flight operations, airport operations, ground handling, airport customer

that one can’t fix a problem if they didn’t know that it existed. The Federal Aviation Administration has to be credited in improving safety in a multitude of ways. The best way to do that is transform safety program from being retroactive to proactive. One of the well-received programs that FAA has created is the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP). This program works to the benefit of every airman, as well of most aviation organizations. This program emphasizes why things happen and what can

Aviation has been in rapid growth since its beginning in the early 20th century. With that rapid growth that created challenges. Who will regulate the airways? Should we have a certifying official? What will the rules of flying be? With those questions in mind the government passed the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938. “The Civil Aeronautics Act transferred federal responsibilities for non-military aviation from the Bureau of Air Commerce to a new, independent agency, the Civil Aeronautics Authority”
