What is the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)?
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is an agency of the United States government which oversees aviation in the United States. The FAA has famously high standards which are mimicked by aviation agencies in some other countries, and it is an extremely large employer, dispatching inspectors across the United States to enforce its standards. Americans and people traveling in the United States rely on the FAA to keep them safe when they fly.
