iability for aircraft production.More regulations started covering flight schools, flight crews, landing and takeoff procedures, flight altitudes and weather restrictions. Certification for scheduled passenger service began during this period.In the 1930’s the aviation industry was expanding very quickly so improvements of regulations, airways, and airports had to be set. The Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 was the beginning of economic regulation. The act required airlines to get a certificate that gave them authorization to operate within specified routes. The act also created the Civil Aeronautics Authority, the Administrator of Aviation, and the Air Safety Board. These three separate agencies were created to regulate aviation. Political turmoil began between the agencies so President Roosevelt acted under the authority of the Reorganization Act of 1939. The reorganization created the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). The CAA was responsible for safety programs and economic regulations. The CAB was responsible for regulatory and investigations. After World War II the aviation industry had taken a big leap in technology advancements. Pressurized aircraft were introduced flying much higher and faster than older planes. The airways were congested with civilian and military aircraft fighting for whom had control of the airspace. Several aircraft accidents resulted from inadequacies from the CAA and CAB. The most fatal accident in 1956 involved a Trans World Airlines Constellation and a United Airlines DC-7. Both aircraft collided in uncontrolled airspace over the Grand Canyon killing 128 people. Better control and regulating the airspace was much needed. This led to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958.The enactment of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 was to improve aviation safety. Under this law the independent Federal Aviation Agency was created to take over the CAA and CAB....
