All Important Civil Aviation Organizations
FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), formerly the Federal Aviation Agency, was established by the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (72 Stat. 731). The agency became a component of the Department of Transportation in 1967 pursuant to the Department of Transportation Act. The mission of the FAA is to regulate civil aviation and U.S. commercial space transportation, maintain and operate air traffic control and navigation systems for both civil and military aircrafts, and develop and administer programs relating to aviation safety and the National Airspace System.
Roles
· Regulating U.S. commercial space transportation
· Regulating air navigation facilities' geometric and flight inspection standards
· Encouraging and developing civil aeronautics, including new aviation technology
· Issuing, suspending, or revoking pilot certificates
· Regulating civil aviation to promote transportation safety in the US, especially through local offices called flight standard district office
· Developing and operating a system of air traffic control and navigation for both civil and military aircraft
· Researching and developing the National airspace system and civil aeronautics
· Developing and carrying out programs to control aircraft noise and other environmental effects of civil aviation
INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANISATION
The International Civil Aviation Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It changes the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth.
Headquarters: Montreal, Canada
Founded: 1944
Head: Fang Liu
Abbreviation: ICAO
Formation: 4 April 1947; 73 years ago
ROLE
ICAO's primary role is to provide a set of standards which will help regulate aviation across the world. It classifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation, as well as the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safety and security
THE INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION
The International Air Transport Association is a trade association of the world's airlines founded in 1945. IATA has been described as a cartel since, in addition to setting technical standards for airline, IATA also organized tariff conferences that served as a forum for price fixing.
ROLE
- To promote safe, regular and economic air transport
- To foster air commerce
- To study problems connected with airline industry
- To provide a means of collaborating between air transport companies and agencies
- To co-operate with other international air transportation organizations Essentially, IATA is airlines working together to standardize and improve service internationally Due to the vital role played by IATA in air transportation issues, it is recommended that you ensure that your carrier/forwarder is an IATA agent
Boeing
The Boeing Company, commonly known as Boeing, is an American multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, rotorcraft, rockets, satellites, telecommunications equipment, and missiles worldwide. The company also provides leasing and product support services.
ROLE
Boeing aspires to be the best in aerospace and an enduring global industrial champion—a top performer in each and every area of our business. This includes an unwavering commitment to environmental innovation and performance in our products, services and operations.
NATIONAL AVIATION AUTHORITY
A national aviation authority (NAA) or civil aviation authority is a government statutory authority in each country that maintains an aircraft register and oversees the approval and regulation of civil aviation.
The independent development of NAAs resulted in differing regulations from country to country. This required aircraft manufacturers in the past to develop different models for specific national requirements (such as the BAe Jetstream 31), and impeded airline travel into foreign jurisdictions. The Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention) was signed in 1944 and addressed these issues. This then led to the establishment by the United Nations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 1947
ROLE
· design of aircraft, engines, airborne equipment and ground-based equipment affecting flight safety
· conditions of manufacture and test of aircraft and equipment
· maintenance of aircraft and equipment
· operation of aircraft and equipment
CIVIL AVAITION SAFTEY AUTHORITY
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is the Australian national authority for the regulation of civil aviation. Although distinct from the government, it reports to the Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport.
Parent organization: Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications
ROLEcivil air operations in Australian territory
· operation of Australian aircraft outside Australian territory
· developing and promulgating appropriate, clear and concise aviation safety standards
· developing effective enforcement strategies to secure compliance with aviation safety standards
· administering drug and alcohol management plans and testing
· conducting comprehensive aviation industry surveillance
· conducting regular reviews of the system of civil aviation safety in order to monitor the safety performance of the aviation industry
· conducting regular assessment of international safety developments
