The Federal Aviation AdministrationThe FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), founded in 1958, deals with airspace problems, most of the problems it deals with are on airport runways, but they do so in fact they will also deal with other airspace problems, including extraterrestrial life. The FAA appears to be hiding a lot of important information from the public. One of the main reasons they do this is to keep the public in a state of calm, if the FAA made all the findings and all the public information public, the world wouldn't be able to handle it. Runway incursions are the most frequently called case in court, most runway incursions are the fault of control towers, but pilot error is the second most frequently called case in court. The FAA reviews all of these cases and determines whether or not the airline will have a chance in court, it also checks every plane three times before takeoff, even after the airline checks the plane, if the FAA finds any problems after the airline claimed it was safe, the airline could be fined or its license suspended. The FAA regulates airspace but it does it the right way, it tells the truth or just its version; find out below. The US federal agency, the FAA, began regulating air commerce around 1958 to promote its safety and development. The agency, established as an independent authority with a civilian administrator, combined the Civil Aeronautics Administration, the Air Modernization Board, and the Civil Aeronautics Board. It became a division of the Department of Transportation in 1967 when President Johnson began planning the PDB, which stands for Program and Budget System. This system started the FAA process, money was an issue in the early stages but once it all started money was no longer an issue. Both Commercial Airlines and General Aviation had begun to grow rapidly. With the purchase of many new jet planes, airline assets grew from 3.8 billion to 11 billion between 1965 and 1970; the number of passengers transported increased from 62 million to 150 million. During the same period the General Aviation fleet grew from seventy-seven thousand to one hundred and thirty-one thousand, and by 1970 these aircraft were flown for over 25 million hours. During the 1980s, many of the nation's largest airlines became targets of Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs): Continental, Eastern, Frontier, People Express, TWA, Ozark, Northwest, United, and American.
