FAA Standardization

One of the biggest burdens confronting the general aviation industry is the varying interpretation of the FAA regulations bythe agency’s Regional, Aircraft Certification (ACOs) and Flight Standards District Offices (FSDOs).A General Accounting Office report has been requested to review how inconsistent regulatory interpretations are costing the FAA and the aviation industry hundreds of millions of dollars in resources, while raising serious concerns about unified safety standards. NATA is hopeful that the results of the report will prove the significance of the issue and signify a need for change within the FAA.
