Mikä tapahtuma johti FAAn perustamiseen?

[Guest arzzi]

The approaching introduction of jet airliners and a series of midair collisions spurred passage of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958. This legislation transferred CAA's functions to a new independent body, the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) that had broader authority to combat aviation hazards. The act took safety rulemaking from CAB and entrusted it to the new FAA. It also gave FAA sole responsibility for developing and maintaining a common civil-military system of air navigation and air traffic control, a responsibility CAA previously shared with others.

 

The scope of the Federal Aviation Act owed much to the leadership of Elwood "Pete" Quesada, an Air Force general who served as President Eisenhower's principle advisor on civil aeronautics. After becoming the first Administrator of the agency he helped to create, Quesada mounted a vigorous campaign for improved airline safety.
