FAA stands for?

• A. Federal Air Marshal
• B. Federal Aviation Administration
• C. First Aid Kit
• D. Flight Attendant

Answer: (B)

Understanding aviation acronyms helps you quickly map terms to their roles in the industry. FAA stands for Federal Aviation Administration. This U.S. government agency, part of the Department of Transportation, oversees civil aviation by setting safety standards, certifying aircraft and pilots, managing airspace rules, and enforcing regulations that keep air travel safe. You’ll often see its influence in references to airworthiness, pilot licensing, and the monitoring of aviation activities through regulations like the Federal Aviation Regulations.

The other phrases don’t fit the same role: a Federal Air Marshal is a security-specific role, a First Aid Kit is simply medical supplies, and a Flight Attendant is airline crew.
