In the U.S., there are no FAA age limits for pilots except for commercial airline pilots employed by airlines certificated under 14 CFR Part 121. These airlines cannot employ pilots after they reach the age of 65.

However, these pilots may stay on with a Part 121 carrier in some other role, such as flight engineer. They can also fly for a company that is not a Part 121 carrier.

Congress set no minimum age. All persons operating a drone under the exception for limited recreational operations are required to take and successfully pass TRUST.

The Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) is a formal standing advisory committee made up of representatives from aviation associations, aviation industry, public interest groups, advocacy groups, and interested members of the public.

The FAA tasks ARAC to provide advice and recommendations concerning a full range of aviation-related issues.

The purpose of the UPP is to demonstrate the integration of a prototype enterprise service into the FAA framework to support initial UAS traffic management (UTM) operations. This enterprise service will be used for sharing of intent and situational awareness information between the FAA and UTM operators.

A Community Engagement Officer (CEO) holds a position on the Regional Administrative Team and acts as the primary point of contact between local communities and the FAA. A CEO fulfills the designation of Regional Ombudsman for his or her area. CEOs inform and involve the public, engage with communities, and ensure the FAA meaningfully considers community concerns when making aviation decisions that affect the public. CEOs assist in carrying out public involvement activities for environmental activities, such as impacts from noise, safety, and pollution.

FAA Regional Administrators are the Senior FAA officials in each of the Agency's nine geographic areas in the U.S. These administrators ensure that FAA is providing consistent stakeholder support and engagement while partnering with Federal, state and local governments and others to promote Aviation Safety and STEM Education across the region.

To learn more about the Offices of the Regional Administrator, visit: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ara/

The Regional Ombudsman is a designated role that works with the Regional Administrator to ensure public inquires related to aviation noise, pollution, and safety are properly addressed.

Each Community Engagement Officer serves as the Regional Ombudsman for their specific region, as the role is concurrent with the community outreach responsibilities of the CEO.

The Regional Ombudsman:

• Serves as a regional liaison with the public, including community groups, on issues regarding aircraft noise, pollution and safety.
• Makes recommendations to the Regional Administrator for the region to address concerns raised by the public and improve the consideration of public comments in decision-making processes.
• Is consulted on proposed changes in aircraft operations affecting the region, including arrival and departure routes, in order to minimize environmental impacts, including noise.
