What was a significant outcome of the Federal Aviation Act?

  1. Creation of the Department of Transportation

  2. Transfer of responsibilities to FAA

  3. Introduction of pilot training regulations

  4. Regulation of cargo airlines

The correct answer is: Transfer of responsibilities to FAA

The Federal Aviation Act was instrumental in establishing the framework and authority for aviation regulation in the United States. A significant outcome of this Act was the transfer of responsibilities to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which was created to oversee and ensure safety in civil aviation. This shift centralized authority, allowing for consistent enforcement of safety regulations, certification of personnel and aircraft, and oversight of air traffic control, ultimately leading to improved safety standards across the aviation industry. This role of the FAA has evolved over the years, but it laid the groundwork for the comprehensive regulatory system that governs aviation today.
