There are inherent dangers in the use of flying machines and most nations have a National Aviation Authority regulating matters involving air safety. NAA regulations typically control the following critical aspects of aircraft and their operation:
- Design of aircraft, airborne equipment and ground-based equipment affecting flight safety
- Conditions of manufacture and test of aircraft and equipment
- Standards of maintenance of aircraft and equipment
- Standards of operation of aircraft and equipment
- Control of air traffic
The independent operations of NAAs from country to country has resulted in inconsistent and incompatible regulations, a problem that major aerospace nations have tried to overcome by the establishment of an international agency empowered to manage airworthiness. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is an example.
National Airworthiness Authorities
- Federal Aviation Administration (FAA, USA)
- European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA, EU)
- Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA, Australia)
For a comprehensive list refer to the List of civil aviation authorities, most of whom are NAAs.
