Role of the FAA
Congress empowered the FAA to foster aviation safety by prescribing
safety standards for civil aviation. This is accomplished through
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs).
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 61 pertains
to the certification of pilots, flight instructors, and ground instructors.
This prescribes the eligibility, aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency,
and experience required for each type of pilot certificate issued.
Flight Standards District Offices (FSDOs)
Throughout the world, the FAA has approximately 100 Flight Standards
District Offices and International Field Offices, commonly referred
to as FSDOs and IFOs. Through these offices,
information and services are provided for the aviation community.
In the U.S., FSDO phone numbers are listed in the blue pages of the
telephone directory under United States Government Offices, Department
of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration. Another convenient
method is using the FSDO Locator available on the Regulatory Support
Divisions web
site.
