Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Requirements
Introduction
For several years now, FAA has remained pivotal in the formulation and development of sensible aviation regulations in the US. FAA keeps advancing with the government allocating it new responsibilities. For instance, the government directed the agency in 2012 to create laws related to small civilian drones. Despite the issue raising significant concerns, it did not adversely affect the FAA operations. The 1958 formulated body possess a broad range of requirements that guide the operations of aircraft. Title 14 of the FAR act contains all the regulations by FAA that enhance the efficient and safe use of the US airspace. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of FAA requirements regarding airworthiness of aircraft and different types of operations common in US airspace. Background Analysis of FAA The year 1905 marked the development of the first plane (FAA 1). Orville Wright and his brother Wilber were behind the creation of a modern age powered flight in 1903(FAA 1). The flight lasted for an approximate of twelve seconds. The efforts of the two brothers led to the development of the first practical plane. Worldwide efforts aimed at building enhanced flying machines marked the aftermath of the first practical plane. Myriad aviation development happened during the early twentieth century (FAA 1). Furthermore, increased technological advancements facilitated the expansion of the airline industry. Over the years, airplanes prove their effectiveness not only as a transportation mode but also a significant military tool. Despite proving to a lucrative industry, aviation remained a dangerous field to venture. For instance, flying conditions remained difficult due to the use of ineffective devices similar to bonfires as lighting. Despite the fatality associated with planes, their use was inevitable. …show more content…
Airplanes are not only fast but also the most efficient form of transport. The airplane field further enhanced with the creation of profitable commercial airlines. Air travel continued to expand, and airport operators became concerned for its safety. They developed traffic control visual signals aimed at promoting aviation safety. Additionally, aviation leaders believed that the airplane industry required regulations intended to maintain and improve the security standards before realizing maximum potential. The aviation leaders concern led to the formulation of Acts regarding the safety of air travel. Key among these regulations was the 1926 Air Commerce Act(FAA 1). The Act as noted above was a landmark legislation that facilitated a broad range of functions. Some of these roles revolved around the licensing of pilots, formulation and enforcing air traffic rules, and certifying of aircraft. The Act also resulted in the creation of the CAA as the air transport regulatory agency (FAA 1). In 1958, Senator Monroney introduced a bill in the Upper …show more content…
FAR are the rules that oversee aircraft operations in the US. FAA requirements are located in CFR. Specifically, Title 14 of the Code contains all FAA requirements that guide the aviation industry (FAA 1). Undoubtedly, the aviation industry keeps evolving and advancing. The unfolding advancements in the airline industry require the formulation of new regulations and publication. FAA not only designs and builds the regulations as noted above but also remains crucial to their maintenance. The below discussion will address FAA aviation requirements using three broad categories. The groups as indicated revolve around administrative requirements, Airworthiness Certification, and
