FAA stands for what in aviation terms?

Understanding aviation acronyms often hinges on knowing the official agency names. FAA stands for Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. government agency within the Department of Transportation that oversees civil aviation safety, aircraft and pilot certification, air traffic control, and airport regulations. This is the standard, formal name used in regulations and aviation references. Common misnamings like Federal Air Authority, Federal Aeronautics Administration, or Federation of Airspace Authorities don’t reflect the real agency name.
