Federal Aviation Act

The Federal Aviation Act, enacted in 1958, is a crucial piece of legislation in the United States that established the framework for regulating civil aviation. It created the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which oversees the safety of commercial and private air travel. The Act covers a range of areas, including aircraft operation, pilot licensing, and airport management. Its primary goal is to ensure safe, efficient, and fair air travel for passengers and cargo while balancing the needs of various stakeholders in the aviation industry.
