Creates New Safety Oversight Office The planned overhaul of the FAA’s organizational structure, the largest in the agency’s history, includes the creation of a new safety oversight office. The plan will create a single safety management system and risk management strategy for the entire FAA. Now, instead of different safety metrics siloed in individual offices, the agency will be able to share safety data more freely. The FAA said the restructuring will not result in any reductions in force. “The FAA’s new structure makes the changes required to increase operational efficiency, foster innovation and empower the bold action needed to build an aviation system that in many ways will redefine air transportation,” said Ed Bolen, National Business Aviation Association president and CEO.
