The Role of THE AUTHORITY
Aviation rules have been developed by government agencies throughout the world to regulate private and commercial flight operations. These are called the National Authorities:
US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) In the US the rules are Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), and FAR Part 91 are the general operating rules for all aircraft operating in the United States. These are the base rules on which more restrictive rules are established for aircraft operations, both commercial and corporate.
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) The Civil Aviation Authorities of the European Union have agreed detailed aviation requirements for the safe operation of air transport. The European Regulatory Authority is called the European Aviation Safety Agency (EUOPS/EASA).
While national authorities continue to carry out the majority of operational tasks - such as certification of individual aircraft or licensing of flight crew - the Agency ensures common safety and environmental standards.
