Regulation of Aviation at the Federal, State and Local Level
Aviation has an impact on everybody and everything. Not only does it have an impact on a worldwide base, but it also has as big an impact on local business. Aviation in regulated in many different ways nationwide. There are many regulations that are federal, such as airspace, and must be obeyed by everyone and there are regulations that are local, such as traffic pattern altitude, and must be obeyed as if they were federal regs. As in any other field of work there are laws and regulations people must obey by. If people were allowed to do what ever they want, then we would live in a world of chaos. There are many different levels of regulation in the aviation industry. Mostly it is subsidized in to three categories, which would be Federal, state and local. Now each category has many regulations and each one must be followed very carefully for it’s the base of our safety. The laws vary greatly but all serve the same purpose.
What the aviation industry has to make up all these regulations is what we call the FAA or Federal Aviation Administration. They act with the DOT (Department of Transportation) to provide a smooth transition of all aircraft, airmen and air safety. On top of that there are many other administrations, departments, bureaus, commissions and boards that regulate aviation. The NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) also works to provide safety within the aviation world. Each department has its own function and provides some sort contribution to the aviation industry. The FAA though is pretty much what regulates and inspects everything that has to do with aviation. The FAA regulates everything from the first bolt that was put into an airplane to a captain in a 747. Now the level in which it enforces it is very different. Within the FAA there are thousands of departments handling all the above. People employed by the FAA range from Pilots to Lawyers to Mechanics. Each one of them has some type of contribution to regulations. Like for example a Pilot would do the test flights and make sure the airplane is airworthy. Or maybe even check out a Pilot to make sure he is “airworthy.” Now the Lawyers job is somewhat different. The lawyers’ job in the FAA is to review violations of the regulations and see whose fault it actually was. The FAA handles cases a...

... example pilot who fly under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) follow federal airways. Federal airways are airways used to Aleve traffic and know where the airplane is. No the airways are made and enforced by the FAA. The FAA also has to maintain these airways by making sure the VOR’s (Very High Frequency Omnirange Receiver) are working. Within the FAA there are different departments that handle all these matters, but the main head is the FAA.
Besides the FAA there are department like the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) which for example would handle the JFK accident. They are in-charge of see the cause and way that the airplane crashed, or got into an accident. As you see many different people and agencies control aviation in many different ways. Even though we are only “Pilots” who steer the airplane, people seem to forget we handle millions of lives a day, usually more lives than a Doctor, so there are many reason to have so much control over the industry. Without this control and security the aviation industry would be chaos and people would refuse to fly. Now because of all the restriction and regulations, flying has become the safest method of travel.
The era of the Great Depression was by far the worst shape the United States had ever been in, both economically and physically. Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and began to bring relief with his New Deal. In his first 100 days as President, sixteen pieces of legislation were passed by Congress, the most to be passed in a short amount of time. Roosevelt was re-elected twice, and quickly gained the trust of the American people. Many of the New Deal policies helped the United States economy greatly, but some did not. One particularly contradictory act was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was later declared unconstitutional by Congress. Many things also stayed very consistent in the New Deal. For example, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and Social Security, since Americans were looking for any help they could get, these acts weren't seen as a detrimental at first. Overall, Roosevelt's New Deal was a success, but it also hit its stumbling points.
...s are doing well and over the many years have gone up. The company has not lawsuits currently pending which is good. The company as a whole seems to be growing even when the market is down.
The Department of Commerce had the regulatory authority over commercial aviation. They began by regulating aircraft and pilots in interstate and the foreign commerce.
The New Deal was a series of federal programs launched in the United Sates by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in reaction to the Great Depression.
These programs worked to keep people on their feet until America pulled out of the deep recession. The New Deal was not liberal because it was not even what ended the Great Depression. What actually ended the Great Depression was when World War II began trickling over into American affairs. The spending that came along with the war and the demand for new industries greatly improved the economy along with the actions taken to finance these investments. There are always critics to any program or plan that the government creates and the New Deal was no exception; FDR had the good intentions of America in mind. He was not looking to create a monster government, he was looking to help the citizens have better lives in the crashed economy. Some of his acts have lasted until modern day, meaning that they must be working. The Social Security Act is still in effect today for example; this act provides a security net for the retired and disabled. FDR had great intentions for his programs and it is proven by how some are still in effect in 2016. Without his experimenting, America might not have programs that affect modern day
During the New Deal period of 1933-1939 the national government took control of the United States’ economy. Our economy was failing and we needed a strong central government to take over in our time of need. Congress passed acts that created new federal agencies and programs proposed by the president in hopes of strengthening our economy. Some of the important programs were the Federal Housing Administration, the Civilian...
An abused woman is always faced with a number of different choices from which she may consider, with regards to seeking help or ending the relationship with a variety of alternatives, the woman knows each decision involves a variety of risks. Time after time, the common question arises, “why doesn’t she just leave?” This question can be answered by analyzing the psychological effects domestic abuse has on women. Many women are unable to cope with the emotional and psychological stress of domestic abuse and resort to violence and extre...
Throughout the course of history, advances in medical technology have prolonged the length of life and delayed death; however, terminal illnesses still exist and modern medicine is often unable to prevent death. Many people turn to a procedure known as Physician-Assisted suicide, a process by which a doctor aids in ending a terminally ill patient’s life. This procedure is painless and effective, allowing patients to control their death and alleviate unnecessary suffering. In spite of these benefits, Physician-Assisted suicide is illegal in many places both nationally and internationally. Despite the fact that Physician-Assisted suicide is opposed by many Americans and much of the world on ethical and moral grounds such as those based on religion and the morality of taking another life, it should still be legalized because it alleviates suffering of patients, allows patients to choose a dignified death, and allows patients to control their own fate instead of their disease controlling them.
The FAA is a government agency who provides our country with the safest aerospace system in the world today. The FAA was not easily created though it was formed over many years and through the passage of many different bills and acts. The FAA started to take shape in the early 1900's. When the commercial aviation industry was first getting its start many leaders believed that without proper regulation and safety rules, that were set by the federal government, the aviation industry would not succeed. So to achieve their goal Congress passed the Air Commerce Act of 1926. This act made the Secretary of Commerce responsible for making aviation rules, regulations and certifying pilots and aircrafts. It also created an Aeronautics Branch in the Department of Commerce, which oversaw everything about aviation. This Branch of the Government was headed by William MacCracken, and it was the first predecessor to the FAA.
Since 1929, there have been people sitting in towers and dark radar rooms being the voice of regulation and controlling aircraft, these men and women are known as Air Traffic Controllers. Air Traffic Controllers hold much weight on their shoulders when they are “plugged in”; having thousands of lives under your control can bring this weight upon a controller. But what happens when an Air Traffic Controller accidently or negligently gives wrong instructions to an aircraft and there is a loss of life or structural damage? Who is responsible? In this paper I will discuss the legality that Air Traffic Controllers have looming over their heads while controlling aircraft. After discussing the legal bindings that Air Traffic Controllers have with
Throughout history, the concept of sustainability has not been prevalent in the lives of common people. Changes weren 't able to be observed and measured so there was no immediate concern about the topic. With technology and the increasingly demanding pace of living, being sustainable is more important now than ever before. Sustainability is defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future. Sustainability is made up of many facets that can be overwhelming if learned at once. Focusing on one aspect of sustainability and necessary steps needed to fully achieve it is a very effective method of applying sustainability. In the world today, a growing concern has been the carbon footprint created by aviation.
Continued growth of air travel and recent advances in new technologies for navigation, and communication have led to the proposals by FAA. Air Traffic Controllers direct planes on both the ground and in the air to prevent collisions. The main goal of ATC is the management of Air Traffic movements and ensure to keep safe distance from one another. Several of the ATC’s are engaged at the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA is located in Herndon, Virginia. Federal Aviation Administration is the main controller of the air traffic system. Now FAA is known as National Airspace System. There are thousands of people who are flying in air system, are controlled by Air Traffic Control. This system takes responsibility of leaving thousands of passengers safely and leave to their gate. This is one of the most stressful job in the world. In many countries, ATC provide services to all private, military and commercial aircraft.
Starbucks is an international coffee house and it was created in 1971 when they opened the first store in Seattle, Newcastle. Currently, they own 21,000 stores in 65 different countries of the world, and their passion for the great coffee, excellent service and community interaction exceeds cultures and languages (Starbucks, 2014). This company is the number 1 brand coffeehouse chain in the world due to the best roaster, marketer and seller of speciality coffee. Its main slogan: “Our mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighbourhood at a time” (Jurevicius, 2013).
Ultimately, the FAA was created to maintain safety within the airline industry. The organization has gone through many changes over the years, has had many different names, and shared responsibilities at times. The government’s regulation of the air industry is evident in the U.S. Constitution. While the government’s involvement has been significantly reduced due to deregulation, it still plays an important role in the protection of its citizens. It will remain so in the future.
When I saw this discussion, I couldn’t help but think of Starbucks and the impact they’ve made throughout their 45 years of establishment. I worked with them for about 7 years and saw how unique they were from your everyday coffee and latte spots. A retail company with thousands of coffee shops in the US as well as in other countries, this particular retailer has been able to catch the eyes of all ages as well as locations throughout the world. For example, today college students utilize Starbucks locations to study rather than go to a nearby library. Starbucks is also known for its best coffee and espresso drinks (Latte or Frappuccino) and with one of its delicious espresso 's any student or just a person stopping in to enjoy its lounge area where there is free Wi-Fi is awesome! Starbucks lifecycle has made a 360 turn around and been revamped twice to accommodated the growing market. Customizing their brand to fit more in with everything and not just one thing. By doing this they’ve created multiple product lifecycles within their own lifecycle as a corporate company.
