A quick definition of aviation:

Aviation is the set of rules and regulations that govern the operation of airplanes and the maintenance of airports. The government has created laws and agencies to make sure that air travel is safe and efficient. Congress has passed many laws to regulate air travel, including the Air Commerce Act in 1926 and the Federal Aviation Act in 1958. These laws created agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Security Administration to make sure that air travel is safe and secure. States can make their own laws as long as they follow the federal laws.

A more thorough explanation:

Aviation refers to the operation of aircraft and the maintenance of aviation facilities. It is governed by both federal and state laws and regulations.

The United States Congress has enacted several federal laws pertaining to air navigation, including the 1926 Air Commerce Act, which provided for the certification and registration of aircraft employed in interstate or foreign commerce. The Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 created the "Civil Aeronautics Authority," which regulated all aspects of aviation within federal jurisdiction. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 established the Federal Aviation Administration, which further regulated aviation.

States are prohibited from regulating rates, routes, or services of any air carrier authorized under the Federal Aviation Act to provide interstate air transportation. However, states can enact their own laws consistent with federal laws or alter existing remedies under state law.

After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001 established the Transportation Security Administration within the Department of Transportation to enhance aviation security.

Examples of aviation law include regulations on air traffic control, aircraft certification, and airport security. These laws ensure the safety and efficiency of air travel for passengers and cargo.

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc
It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
