Timeline of Federal Legislation for Aviation Safety and Air Commerce

This project presents a comprehensive timeline of federal legislation related to air commerce and aviation safety. The project begins with an initiation phase, including a study of aviation history, federal policies, funding, and the mission of air commerce. It then delves into the development of a legislative framework, covering key acts like the Civil Aviation Act and Airspace Act, as well as CASA operations and airspace regulations. The project further outlines project planning, including funding, risk analysis, and requests to the Federal Aviation Authority, followed by project execution phases such as airport operations, air commerce maintenance, regulation implementation, and certification processing. Finally, the project concludes with a closure phase focused on final safety implementation and policy maintenance, providing a detailed overview of the regulatory landscape of aviation.
