The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the national aviation authority of the United States. It is responsible to regulate civil aviation, commercial space transportation and new aviation technology. The FAA is the only responsible to ensure the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems in the National Airspace System, as its webpage states. So far, the only way to operate a drone in the U.S. is by an explicit authorization COA, which is a Certificate of Waiver. The process to obtain this
Pilot unions are important because it is the protection of the pilots who are in trouble for the actions that is going around the company. In the aviation industry, pilots are the main tool of flying an airplane. It is important to have a union because it provides benefits, money, insurance, and care and support of the pilots. Companies are like a game of chess and if one fails we all fail. It’s the same for the airlines and airlines will fail in the business if management is not doing well for the
Fatigue in aviation has always been a significant issue when it comes to the safety of the crew and passengers. Fatigue in flight is not the only issue. There is also a serious safety issue in other areas of aviation such as maintenance, air traffic control (ATC), and even in areas such as baggage claim and gate security. One can find evidence of fatigue in just about every aspect of daily life. A majority of vehicle accidents can be contributed to fatigue in one way or another. One can even see

In 1917, Congress approved funding to experiment with the idea of delivering mail by air. By 1920, the Post Office was delivering mail across the entire country, eliminating over 22 hours in delivery times of a coast-to-coast route.

General Aviation Brief History: The civil aviation world consists of two categories according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): scheduled airline service and general aviation (FAA, n.d.).

The glass cockpit was the answer in the last forty years as seen in the Boeing 777, the F117 stealth fighter, and the Shuttle Atlantis (National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA], 2000). Glass cockpits feature liquid crystal displays that can be used to display multiple gauges and avionics screens that enable the user to customize the layout to their liking. According to Lane Wallace, a NASA author, states that

The aviation regulations and navigational aids nowadays are all improved from the basics in 1926 under this act, without the original concept back then, we will never enjoy the safe air travel now. The Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) that are being used now in aviation is also drafted according to the Civil Air Regulations (CARs) that was created under the Air Commerce Act; the importance of Air Commerce Act in developing commercial aviation is simply
