Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Legislation S 82

The book is intended to provide a brief summary and analysis of major legislative provisions under consideration in the ongoing Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization process. The book is organised into six major program areas: aviation system finance; airport finance; FAA management and organisational issues; system capacity and safety; environmental issues; and miscellaneous programs and provisions. In several cases, provisions that appear in various unrelated sections of proposed legislation have been rearranged in this book in an effort to group and discuss related items in an issue-driven or programmatic context.
