This Is The Faa

The men and women of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are proud to be part of this aerial pageant. They administer the world's busiest civil aviation system. In a single day, air traffic controllers handle upwards of 200,000 takeoffs and landings at airports across the nation. They are responsible for the safety of half a billion airline passengers a year. In the same period, other FAA specialists perform 30,000 security inspections and assessments, host more than 5,000 safety seminars, and conduct 300,000 safety inspections of airlines and aviation activities. - p.
