Abstract

It is the obligation of the U.S. federal government, through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), to implement the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annexes in the United States (U.S) as well as on international flights of U.S. registered aircraft. The FAA also supplements ICAO oversight of foreign registered aircraft for compliance with the international standards and recommended practices under its International Aviation Safety Assessment Program (IASA). The legal authorities governing the FAA are the Federal Aviation Act and international law, including the International Civil Aviation Convention (Chicago Convention), the hijacking treaties, and all the bilateral air transport agreements. The FAA was a separate government agency until adoption of the 1967 Department of Transportation Act , when the FAA became the largest administration within the new U.S. Department of Transportation. The FAA is responsible for civilian aviation uses of the U.S. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), called GPS.Keywords:compliance; Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS); International Aviation Safety Assessment Program (IASA); International Civil Aviation Convention (Chicago Convention); International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); registered aircraft; United States (U.S)
